Answer to prayer!!

So we had an interesting weekend. To say the least, this past week was my first week back at work, so it was Isaac's first week with the babysitter. Taylor and I have been feeling "unsettled" about the entire arrangement, and on Friday I just felt so uncomfortable that both Taylor and I felt like we needed to figure something else out. Well, I was talking to our really close friends in the ward, and they got hit with some financial issues last week and long story short, offered to watch Isaac. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!! We love this couple so much that we are totally stoked. We asked them before Isaac was even born, but seeing how they had their first child 7 weeks before, we didn't know how comfortable they would be...well, she is feeling like she is more in a routine with hers that she is willing to take on the two....I can't even tell you how relieved Taylor and I feel!!

Other highlights of the weekend:

So, after that good news, we went to our ward Christmas party and it was pretty fun. They played a game, pretty much a "How well do you know your husband?" and they asked 8 couples to come up to the stage and I looked at Taylor and he goes "No way." Well, my friend was telling us to go up, so I stand up and start walking up...so Taylor has to at this point...haha...so they blindfold the women and then the husbands have to walk by and you have to guess which one is your husband by the feel of their hands...I totally got it right! I was very impressed with myself. (Pat on the back, thank you, thank you...) :-) It really was fun.

Ok, so let me ask a question. Have you ever played a board game with just you and your husband?? On Saturday night I was in the mood to play a board game, so I got "Clue" out and started setting it up, and Taylor thought it was so lame to play that game just the two of us. (It was that or Sorry! and I knew if we played that that the sweet revenge would always be on me, so I opted for Clue). I thought it was fun to change things up a bit and play...Taylor did end up playing with me but thought it was so weird...have you ever played a board game with just yourself and someone else?? :-)

Another fun highlight...we got our Christmas letter mailed on Saturday!! Wahoo!! Our first year sending out a Christmas card and our final count came to 139....139!!!! I love it though, I seriously love the fact that probably 70 percent of that is just Taylor's family and that that wasn't even everyone, we went through and had to pick and choose! So hopefully all who care to receive one will get theirs this week, if not, please leave your address because we'd be happy to send you one...I've had our letter written and envelopes addressed since...oh the beginning of November! (If you can't tell, I've really been looking forward to starting the tradition of sending out Christmas cards!)

Isaac had the cutest outfit on today for Church. He wasn't really in the mood for pictures when we took these though....
