hey everyone,

It's been a very busy month for us. Summer has gone by really fast for us. Dorie spent a lot of time babysitting as usual for friends who need to have their kids watched. We tried to spend a lot of time at the gym working out. Dorie is really determined to lose more weight before she gets pregnant. We're still trying to get pregnant. She's had her period twice now in the last month. We're taking that as a good sign that her hormones are returning to normal. Hopefully it won't be too long now. We're still working at the temple friday nights. Dorie's making plans to redecorate our apartment. Her family in New York will be sending money to help us get curtains, pictures, and a few other things. I started school last wednesday. I bought a UTA bus pass for 20 bucks at the school and now I'll be riding that bus to school this semester. We've been a little while for my loan check to get here. I couldn't buy my school books till I got the rest of my loan money. I finally got it last friday. We used some of the money to buy 4 all new tires for our car to get it ready for the winter. We're also getting ready for dories birthday this next weekend. We're doing a birthday party for her this friday. I've been looking at a couple of different jobs to that I got referred to by friends in our ward. No luck finding a new job yet though. We just think it will be better for our family once we start having kids. Other than that, not a whole lot has been going on. Well, that's all I have this week.
