Never be afraid to try something new. Remember amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic.

December 1st - December 7th

Rachel now tries to say bath but she can only get the b sound out.  She loves John and is always so excited when he comes home from work.  It is her favorite time of the day.  She now is very into dragging us places (mostly her room) to show us what she wants or to get us to play with her.

Monday 1st - Rachel and I spent a relaxing morning lounging in my bed and playing.  I got to talk to my grandma in Guatemala for a little bit in the morning and that was fun.  After we were both ready for the day we took the rent over to the main office.  That afternoon we had nap time, which was nice. After John got home he helped me make a turkey we had defrosting in the fridge. We spent the evening relaxing and catching up on Amazing Race.

Tuesday 2nd - After Rachel and I were ready for the day we headed out to do some clothes shopping.  I found the cutest pair of red skinny jeans for Rachel. When we got back it was nap time for both of us.  That night it was just fun to relax with John at home.

Wednesday 3rd - During the day Rachel and I just played and relaxed.  That night after John got home we headed over to the church to meet with the bishop were I was asked to serve as a primary teacher.  I will most likely be teaching the 4 year olds which could be interesting but fun.

Thursday 4th - Thursday was another day at home for Rachel and me.  John had a presidency meeting in the evening and Rachel was not happy when he left.  I tried to give her a bath so she would be ready for bed but she kept running away and knocking on the front door looking for John.  She ended up just getting a bath after he got home.

Friday 5th - When John was at work he got the wonderful surprise of a Christmas bonus.  That night we decided to celebrate and we went to dinner with our friends Kevin and Kindra.  We went to Applebee's where I discovered I still like onion rings and their mashed potatoes. After dinner we went back to our apartment and spent the next two hours having a good time visiting. 

Saturday 6th - Saturday morning we went to Grace's baptism.  It was beautiful and I am glad we were able to go.  After the lunch-in I dropped John off at the trax station.  He went to the downtown library and tutored for almost two hours.  While he was tutoring I tried to give Rachel a nap but she decided her 15 minutes in the car was enough.  When John was done tutoring he rode the trax back to Herriman where Rachel and I picked him up.  That evening our friends Becca and Joe came over for dinner and games.  We played 4 games of 7 Wonders.  I won 2 of them and Joe won 2 of them.  

Sunday 7th - In the morning Rachel woke up early so we tried to get her to sleep with us but she was having none of it.  After we were all ready for church we tried calling by grandma to wish her a happy birthday she didn't answer so we just left her a message.  During Sacrament meeting I was sustained for my new calling.  Rachel did pretty well but mostly just wanted to sit on John's lap or in the aisle so she could see.  I took her to nursery where I tried to leave her but they had to bring her to me in less than 5 minutes.  I spent the rest of my time at church with Rachel in the nursery. After we got home I put Rachel down for a nap.  John had to stay late at church for some Elder's Quorum stuff.  At 4:00 we went to Butterfield Canyon and got some family Christmas pictures taken.  Rachel was a little stinker but I think we got a few good pictures.  That night we put Rachel to bed early since she was so cranky.
