Happy Father!!!

Alright, the title was just to get you interested in the blog post. According to Amy, who loves her dough, I am the father of this beautiful "dough baby" so we thought it would be funny to do a little false advertising for a future event. We definitely are anxiously anticipating the arrival of our little one. We still haven't made a final decision on a name but I think that it will end up being Elise (or Elyse).


Before the rising of the dough



Amy really does make an awesome BBQ chicken pizza. She added some caramelized onions and cilantro to it this time which added some awesome flavor. We were able to make two large pizzas out of the dough, sauce and chicken we had so that means we'll be eating good for the next couple of days.

I will be honest and say that I bring the lunches that everyone else at school is jealous of!

This Sunday Amy and I spoke in our ward sacrament meeting on the power of covenants. It went really well. Amy put in a lot of effort preparing her talk and it paid off. She did a wonderful job! A number of people expressed appreciation for what was shared. Amy was quoted by the bishop in another meeting. Another lady called in the afternoon asking about a reference Amy had used in her talk and then later on this evening another guy in the ward called thanking her for her talk. In Amy's talk she mentioned her early commitment to obedience and said that she wouldn't do homework on Sundays even if it meant an early morning for her on Monday. The guy said before her talk, he had some homework planned for later on in the afternoon but Amy's talk reminded him that he used to live by the same principle and that he was grateful for what she shared because it strengthened him. Yep, I got a great wife! It's easy when you're married to the most wonderful woman in the world. I don't know how Layne and Cheryl raised her but they did a great job! I'm thankful!

Hopefully our next post will include baby!
