2012!

It's 2012! I guess it should feel different, like we're actually in a new year...but it all feels the same. I'm sure I will still write 2011 on everything like I always do until about April of the new year. We have a lot to look forward to this year! A new job, Alex's trip to China...and maybe other things...who knows. I decided to start out the new year with a new look. 12 inches gone.

And we took some family pictures with The Hawkins side.

And I came across a the First Presidency message by President Thomas S. Monson in the January 2012 Ensign entitled 'Living the Abundant Life'. He talks about the ABC's of making this year great! A-Attitude, you can always have a good attitude to make like happier. B- Believe, believe in yourself and your goals and have faith that you can succeed. C- Courage, have courage to try a few times, you will not always succeed on the first try and that does not make you a failure. Try, try again. "I will try again tomorrow".

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2012 is as great for you as it will be for The Hawkins :)
