Sad, really.
Good afternoon everyone. After a rather relaxing, albeit hot day at work, I've decided that I am definitely frustrated with the blogger tool. You see, I get rather excited to read everyone else's blog, but when it comes time to write my own I suddenly realize how inept I must be that I can't figure out any fancy backgrounds or add very many cool gadgets like all the Moms have. I say Moms because I know it's not the Dads--we men really aren't that spiffy when it comes to the blogging business. In fact, the most advanced I can get is adding pictures.
Sad, really.
So here is my blogging request: SOMEONE HELP! Tell me a good time to call and help walk me from this quagmire of self-ineptitude that I have been living in and guide me to the pearly palace of peaceful posting. Ah...the shame!
For your enjoyment...

A new catfish discovered near the Amazon that actually can live outside of the water and crawl around on rocks and stuff. Look at its little legs! Wowza! Next thing you know its going to start communicating with us like that freaky dolphin on Flipper. Think about it ;)

Same
Hello family. It seems like a million years since our last blog, but it really hasn't been so long. Unfortunately, not much has happened. Until TODAY I have been waiting, day by day, to receive clearance to begin working. (As a federal contractor, I need to be "cleared" to work.) Cristy has been going to a few job interviews: one on Wednesday and one tomorrow. She wasn't super impressed with the Wednesday job (too little resource in the facility although the pay was good) but the job tomorrow looks promising. We can't wait!
As for the church life, we are busy being Ward Missionaries and starting a new program called "Lightning Visits" where we spend about fifteen minutes at ward families homes a week (for five weeks or so) and try to share a message with them about missionary work. Each week there is a new "lesson" and after we finish with one family we go on and begin teaching another (we work with two families at a time). It's a great way to meet new people!
Home life is great as well...although I can't think of anything new. I was getting pretty good at my House Husband duties, but now I guess I am stepping down from my command :) I went through pages and pages of to-do (and Honey-Do) list items, so time was certainly not wasted.
Contrary to popular belief, it was not so fun to be living near Washington D.C. for this historic election. After watching a biography on MLK on MLK day (because I had a lot of time on my hands) I do realize how important the election really is for a lot of people, and how historic it will always be. BUT, having said that, traffic was more than awful and I have already heard plenty of horror stories about people who had tickets but didn't even get inside the "secure" area. Wow. Good thing we stayed home!
Well that's it for now! We'll let you know how the jobs go!

45 Pictures! Dah duh duh
Happy November everyone! Oh wait...that was the last time we blogged, but that is not the correct month...or even the correct year...oh well--Happy Holidays everyone!
To be perfectly honest, there are so many pictures in this blog I have been putting this off for as long as possible. Now it's only gotten worse.
Anyway, here's our month and a half in pictures :)
PS: A spacial shout-out to my Mother-In-Law for a) the printing tattoo paper for my temporary tattoos, and b) MY NAME ON THE STOCKING!!! Whooh whooh!
Cristy making her Grandma Campbell's Famous Rolls...
...and they turned out BIG
The dog...upset that he can't partake in the meal :(
Mama Moreira showing off her wonderful handywork
Sista Moreira can't keep her hands off these drumsicks
Mt plate...notice the delicious roll and cinnamon coconut sweet potatoes :D 
Haley get some turkey! Inhaled in eight seconds!
The High School friends and I after the football game. I figured I would bring my old High School football friends to a church game...you know...bring in some Ringers an show them a thing or two...yeah--that didn't happen. We lost 9-1! (Note: Practice the next day lasted two hours.)
Christmas at the Moreiras!
Believe in Jesus! And Christmas Lights!
The Home Depot lamp :)
Martenellis for our Home Teachees! Why someone thought this would be a good wedding present is beyond us, but we're not complaining :)
The Mt. Vernon (George Washington's house) Visitor's Center. Clearly I could have whupped GW in a fight. Those tights are way too restrictive.
A giant picture of the manor.
An amazing replica of the manor made entirely of candy!
Coconut grass!
A Christmas Tree with all the President's portraits! How fun! 
Cristy making a real live wreath with a former supervisor. It was beautiful, just like my wife ;) 
Want to know how to get wax out of your carpet? Newspaper and an iron my friend...and it's so much fun all over your living room at midnight... 
Cristy is having fun too...notice how much newspaper we have gone through...
Christmas! Notice the fake tattoo paper in the front!
(Note: Starting now, the rest of these pictures are in California.) My aunt's backyard has quite a few deer there every morning (8 in this picture).
My cousin Andre and I after Ultimiate Frisbee.
Cristy, Carly, and Andre on our way to HOLLYWOOD!
Which star is that again? I don't know, but she sure is a looker ;) (Note: this sign is WAY out in the boonies. You need a map to get there.)
A hotel on Sunset Blvd.
BEAUTIFUL Bel Aire. Big. Spacious. Security Checkpoints. Oh wait...drive drive drive!!!
UCLA
One of the four Bel Aire entrances.
Talk about advertising taking a turn in the last decade. Sheesh! An entire building!
In'N'Out Burger baby! Yeah! We don't have these on the East Coast so I max out when I can.
As seen on TV...
The hands and footprints part of town. Here, Cristy meets Dick Van Dyke.
and I George Clooney...
God Bless Paul Newman.
There's that star again!!!
Note to the reader: when you pose with these chaps (Darth Vader also made an appearance) be sure you have a dollar to tip. Sorry Zorro!
Moms: This is a chocolate cigar. Don't freak. Although my cousin did try to smoke his...oops...that wrapping id look pretty real I guess lol
