Dear Family and Friends in the states and in Canada,Hooray! Our first family news letter! I am pretty excited about this, however I don’t know about David, but I decided it is a good habit and tradition to get into. I love getting these from everyone else, so why not send them out ourselves?
It’s been an exciting year for David and I, getting married and all. I figured what I can address in this, is all the questions everyone has been asking about David and I. First, everyone wants to know how married life has been and what we do and such? Married life is awesome, can’t go wrong living with your best friend. I have had a blast learning how to cook and since I got laid off on Halloween, I have a lot more free time to learn new recipes, knit, scrapbook, clean, etc. David is still working for Naylor Solar and continues to love it. He plays the Xbox in his free time, sketches, sculpts, and plays his guitar. I love now that we are married; I don’t have to talk him into serenading me. It seems like every other day he is on his guitar. We love our new family ward. It is perfect for us. David is in the Young Men’s as a Deacons advisor and though there are few boys, he loves getting to know them and help out. We also have made some great friends in our ward. We have new and old friends come over on Sundays or Mondays with their spouses and we have Family Home Evenings. That has been so much fun for us. It’s been good to get to know so many great people. This October David joined the Celebrate Kids family and works on the weekends with me as a clown, elf, or helper, whatever the company needs. Let’s just say he is the cutest little clown and elf ever lol.
We are hoping to get up to Canada sometime in early 2009. We finally got David’s immigration papers sent in for his Green Card. No, that isn’t making him an American; it is just granting him permanent residence in the states. Everyone seems to think that now that we are married he is an American. It makes me laugh because he still loves Canada, it is his home and I am glad. Nothing can ever replace home or family. SO, once his paperwork comes in we can head up north and I can meet the rest of his family and see his home and things and places he loves. Speaking of family…NO, we are not having babies anytime soon lol. Not planning on it at least. Naturally, that seems to be a popular question. Let’s just take care of that question now.
We are ready for the holidays and have enjoyed decorating our home and tree (with popcorn and candy canes I might add) and being with family. We can’t wait for years to come!
Love, David and Britni Richards
