My life has been pretty chaotic lately. This morning I started trying to think of something I could do to get some order in my life and I realized it has been a while since I posted a list on here. Lists are the most organized thing I can think of. Lists are neat and clean and focused. I'm hoping after typing up today's list of my goals and dreams I will feel a bit less chaos and a bit more focused!
Goals and Dreams: Current and Future
1. Travel to Paris
2. Write a book
3. Swim with dolphins
4. Travel to Ireland
5. Get healthy (Yes, that one is a very distant dream, but I still have hope!)
6. Volunteer in a third world country
7. Get married
8. Be a mom
9. Learn to play the piano
10. Visit all 50 states
11. Be courageous
12. Own a home
13. Run at least one 5k a year
14. Write every day
15. Be more involved in Family History
16. Attend the temple at least once a month
17. Do more of what makes me happy
18. Read at least ten books every year
19. Exercise daily
20. Do at least one act of service every week.
What are some of your goals and dreams. Leave a comment and share.

Project 365 Update
Even though I have been away from my blog for a while I have still been taking my pictures for Project 365. However, I am getting to a point where finding something new to take a picture of every day is hard! I'm sticking to it though and will be interested to see how it all turns out at the end of the year.
Here are some of the pics from the last month or so just to keep you updated on what's been going on in my life.
Family karaoke night for Tyson and Ashley's birthday!
Packing, Packing, Sleeping...wait what? Tara's sleeping on the job!
Oh the fun things you find when you are packing up everything you own!
Painting Day!
Isaac's birthday party!
Surgery day for Mom
Attending the funeral of my amazing Uncle Owen!
Happy 4th of July!
As you can see life has been a bit of rollercoaster with being busy, happy, and sad. Yet, it has been life. If life weren't a bit like a rollercoaster it might get pretty dull. It is the up's and down's of life that keep us on our toes and looking forward to tomorrow, because you never know what tomorrow will bring. The trick is to enjoy the ride no matter where it takes you.

Wondering?
Hello there, has anyone been wondering where I went?
My last post was clear back in May?!? Oh my! In reading that post you discovered that I was facing a decision and getting ready to take a big leap of faith with it. Well, the outcome of that decision is the reason why I have not posted since May. I made the decision to move!
I have been struggling with my health problems, my mom and sister have been struggling with problems of their own, and we were all struggling to do it on our own. I made the decision to move back in with my mom. I basically took over the entire basement, so I still have my own space and a bit of a buffer when I need my alone time.
Moving was stressful, and I'm sure anyone who has ever moved knows what I'm talking about. Living in one place for 7 years, you don't realize how much "stuff" you accumulate! However, packing everything up did give me a chance to do some serious de-junking and get rid of a lot of stuff. Although now it is all taking up space in the garage awaiting a yard sale we are having in a few weeks.
This change is definitely and adjustment. I am so used to being on my own that being here with my mom and sister is going to take time to get used to. I truly believe that the pro's outweigh the con's in this decision though, and that everything is going to work out for the best. There is strength in numbers and this way we can all be there for each other. Isn't that what family is all about anyway?
The good news is that I am all moved and settled in, which means my writing will start to get back to a more normal schedule with frequent posts and more random ramblings from yours truly!
I hope the last few months have been good to you and that life is wonderful wherever you are and whatever you're doing!
