This December brought two big gifts to our family - the first takes precedence in the blog post simply because I have pictures. Ladies and gentlemen, our house is getting painted! We first talked to our landlady about painting the house before we even moved in, and a few months later she offered to pay for professionals to do it. Well, it took a year, but it's getting done. The kitchen/dining area/family room are all being done, plus the office and play room downstairs. There are a couple of contractors in our ward who are doing the work and Ben helped them out this weekend to move the process along a little quicker. I'll show you how it looks once it's all done and the house is put back together. As you can imagine, things are a bit of a mess right now...

| The kids and I had dinner in Cat's room one night this week so that we could get away from the work being done in the kitchen. |
The second exciting event is that Ben started a new job! It's a little start-up and he's enjoying helping them build up the business. It's exactly what he was hoping for after finishing his MBA. We're so excited, and very thankful for this blessing.
Whoopee!!
