hello everyone,

Merry christmas to everyone to. Sorry I haven't kept up on my blog lately. I really am excited to update everyone today though. Last Sunday me and Dorie got released as nursery workers and now we've been called to be the cub scout masters in our ward. We're going to really miss our kids in the nursery but at the same time we're excited because it's something new that we haven't tried before. Me and Dorie have also been doing a lot of discussion the last couple of weeks and even more praying in the temple and we've decided to file for adoption next month. We last heard that we need to be married for at least 2 years before adopting. We just feel very strongly that this is something we need to do. So we're really excited about that. Our Christmas was even better. About 2 weeks ago, our neighbor Johanna came around for the ward. Evidentally the bishop asked her to go around our complex and determine if there were any families needed any help with christmas this year so we signed up. So 2 days ago--after I came home from inventory---I found a whole box full of canned goods along with some presents that Dorie said we got from the ward. So we were thinking that was all we got, Right! Oh no! After we got home christmas eve from hanging out with our friends Chris and Catherine Stollworthy, I could hear some rapping noise at our door so i went to check it out and low and behold, our front porch was stuffed full of bags of food. Our cupboards are literally stuffed full of canned food now. We truly are blessed. We were low on money after getting all our christmas gifts and were wondering how we were going to get by with food. Then Heavenly Father sent his angels to help us out. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for the blessings he continuously gives me and my wife. So all together, it was a great christmas! Well, that's all I got this week!
