Merry Christmas

This year was different than others. The main difference was the number of people in our Christmas photo. With the Christmas season, it feels more and more official. We got them lots of kitchen items for there new life together. We figured it couldn't hurt to start on there Wedding registry. Mine and Courtney's relationship has had a very rough start. But the more I try the fake it till you make it technique the more it feels real. Yesterday she came into our home and I yelled "Merry Christmas Courtney" and for one of the first times it felt sincere, and I was truly happy to be spending Christmas with my whole family, including her. I have finally accepted that they are going to be married, and she is going to be my sister-in-law. Its even a little exciting. I have even started to feel offended when people say mean things about her or talk about how she is a mistake in Dirks life. Only I'm allowed to think that. :) So here is my new Family.

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone in this Christmas Season can love a little more, and remember everything our Savior has done for us.
