Hooray! I have finally learned how to navigate the blog site, add pictures, post my thoughts etc. thanks to Nicia and Kathy coming to help me! That is my first adventure of the year (learning to blog), although not the first event.
January has been a busy month, but I am just now taking the time to start doing the things I most want to do, which is always my biggest challenge. With a big family and most of them living within driving range of our home, I am kept pretty busy just keeping in touch with everyone and keeping up with family events--birthdays, graduations, baptisms, blessings, missions, holiday celebrations and other special events. It is almost a full-time job. I am not complaining, because I am very grateful for that type of involvement, but it does limit the other activities I have time to be involved in. This year I particularly want to learn to take time for the other things that bring me satisfaction, such as blogging, bringing my picture albums up to date, and learning how to make writing our family newsletter more fun to write and more fun to read.
I named this blog Arlene's picture journal and quickly learned that there won't be a lot of pictures of me doing ordinary things, but pictures of the people whose events we are involved with. Today for example we went with Jordan to the MTC and I didn't get one picture of Gary and I with him, but I did get pictures of the other people who were there and I will post the pictures I did get of the experience, which is always a choice one. I love the spirit in the Missionary Traning Center and always love being there, and today was no exception.
Onward and upward to new adventures!

We enjoyed helping you the other day, and it will be wonderful to read your posts. You are such a great example of a mother and grandmother who truly magnifies her calling as a mother and grandmother in zion. You are always doing for others, especially your family, and I hope I can follow in your footsteps. We love you!
