A little update on JD and Katie

JD and I are doing great. We are so excited for Christmas...well let's be serious I am really excited for Christmas! This is my favorite time of year. I love to give presents, even though this year it is going to be hard to do that I would love it if I could do something for everyone. I remember on my mission how much I loved this time of year with the snow and the service it definitely reminded me of why we celebrate at this time of year...it is not just the birth of our Savior but I also like to think of his life and the gift that He gave to us. Repentance is possible because of Him and because the love that our Heavenly Father has for each one of us. I know that JD and I have been blessed this year. While we have faced our fair share of trials we have grown so much. We have learned to communicate more and to be more compassionate to each other. We are still learning to live within our means...and I believe strongly that all of these things are the ingredients for a healthy marriage and life. I am so grateful for JD and all he provides in my life. He is a good man with a good heart.

JD has been working for Morrow Meadows for a little under a year and is currently working at a school in East LA. It is going a long smoothly and he is learning a lot under his journey men. I am still at Wells Fargo and even with all that has happened within this last year with my job I really couldn't be happier there...not that I want to stay there for too much longer but change is good and the changes that have happened there have really been a blessing...even when I wasn't ready for them to happen nor wanted them to happen it was still the best thing to make work worthwhile and a learning atmosphere.
