quick update

we have been the recipients of several miracles in the last couple of weeks and we are happy to report several things.
first of all, sometimes miracles come with sugar cookies.
second, a good bishop really is guided and inspired in unexpected ways, even sometimes by listening to his wife.
third, even ugly carpet can have redeeming qualities -- ugly wallpaper is a whole different story.
fourth, moving across town or across the neighborhood is equally stressful, although the neighborhood move requires less travel time.
we are madly packing boxes and will make our great exodus to the opposite side of creek road on Saturday November 8th. we are overjoyed that we get to stay in our ward and in our school district. we actually got to choose from two homes to rent in a ward and area where rental properties are almost unheard of. (pretty cool miracle, huh?!?) thanks for the prayers that helped make our little world miracle-strewn.
we are accepting volunteers for box carrying a week from Saturday if you can come. see you around 9:30am.
hope you are enjoying your fall and that it is much less dramatic than ours is proving to be. here's hoping that you are getting lots of good miracles in your lives too. you deserve them.
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY kylie and caleb -- we really hope that your birthday was wonderful!! i am hanging my head in shame for not getting anything mailed, i had the best intentions and they failed miserably. just remember that aunt christi, uncle chris madi and gilli love you and hope you have a wonderful year.
love you all!
