Here's a cute poem we got from my mom a while ago,

A Happy Marriage Recipe
3 cups love
2 cups warmth
1 cup forgiveness
1 cup friends
4 spoons hope
2 spoons tenderness
1 pint faith
1 barrel laughter
Combine love and warmth
Mix thoroughly with tenderness
Add forgiveness
Blend with friends and hope
Sprinkle all remaining tenderness
Stir in faith and laughter
Bake with sunshine
Serve daily in generous helpings
I just thought this was a cute little recipe we could all take into consideration. As far as how me and dorie have been doing. We've been doing really well. I've started school and working really hard. We had inventory last tuesday so I had to go in at 7 and work till we got everything counting around 2:30. It was a real pain. I slept till noon the next day. We've also started hanging out with a few of our fellow temple workers more often. We enjoy getting out and hanging out with other couples. I have my first 2 tests to take tommorrow to. Wish me luck! I do have a very interesting experience to share. Dories grandma passed away a couple of weeks ago. Her mom told us over the phone that she was very afraid to die. Then in her last few moments She told her family that she could see dories father coming to get her and bring her home. Her dad passed away 6 years ago by the way. It mad her very peaceful and made the transition easier for her. Anyways, a couple weeks ago when dorie was doing work in the temple, she could feel the presence of both her dad and her grandma. Dorie up to this point had been debating whether or not to do her grandmas temple work. She felt like feeling her grandmas presence there in the temple reassured her that she should be doing it in a year. According to church regulations, we have to wait at least a year after they've passed away. So next year, it's safe to say that we'll be starting her work. Dorie still isn't pregnant yet either. For the time being she's enjoying watching other peoples kids and I enjoy it when I can get to help out. Well, that's all I have this week!
