Merry Christmas in 2008!

Thank you for coming to our Christmas card post! We have had another great year together with a lot of adventures. We have seen so many blessings in our lives and couldn't be more grateful for our many friends, wonderful families, and our Heavenly Father throughout this past year.

So, where to start. . .We are still living in Maryland. We moved from the basement apartment to the main floor of our little house and are really enjoying it. We live in the most beautiful neighborhood with old charming houses, and big trees lining every street. KC continues to work at his Civil Engineering firm and enjoys the many projects that keep him busy. Emily is a part-time babysitter for a couple of adorable kids in the neighborhood. She loves them and all that she is learning. One of the kids' favorite things to do is bake with her, and she loves it too.We've been able to take a few fun trips this year including a Disney Cruise with the Turpins, Williamsburg VA with our friends, Utah to celebrate both of our little sisters' weddings, and to Pennsylvania with some of Emily's family that came to visit. We plan on a lot more trips along the east coast soon in case we decide to move someday. We've loved having this house with enough space to have people over from time to time for ice cream parties, dinner, or just to play around. We are up for visitors anytime!
We are so excited to be in the adoption process. We can't wait to bring children into our home and just know it will be the best time of our lives yet. It is surely the biggest thing we are looking forward to this coming year. We can't tell you how thrilled we are. We are adopting through LDS Family Services, and are in the process of being approved. We have created our own adoption website in the meantime to get our word out. We can't wait!We have had our share of ups and downs this year, but continue to be faithful to Heavenly Father, and grateful for all that we have learned. We have definitely gained more and more love for one another and we feel we've become closer to Christ as we strive to keep the love of our Savior and Heavenly Father in our home and in our lives.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the true meaning of what the season is about. We wish the best for all.
Merry Christmas!

Love, KC and Emily
