THE ADDURU FAMILY: trampoline raising!

So for my Christmas, Housewarming, Birthday and NEXT Christmas present (haha) from Caleb and Katie, they decided to buy us a trampoline! We were so excited about this trampoline! We actually bought it a few months ago on Black Friday. Katie was in Utah and didn't have a way of getting it for us for the Black Friday special price, so Ian went out at 5am to look for one at our local Wal-Mart. He was there for almost an hour looking and trying to find someone who could help him locate one, but had no luck whatsoever. So, he called me and we decided he gave it a good shot and to just give up and come home. After he got off the phone with me, the thought came to him to say a little prayer. In the prayer he humbly told Heavenly Father that if there was a trampoline left in the store, to please guide him to it. Right then, Ian got a distinct feeling to head in a certain direction and then go down a specific aisle... As he was walked down that aisle, he stopped, looked around and then felt a little sad because he still didn't see anything. Then he took another second to look down and there was a big trampoline box right in front of him! He actually found the very last one that was there that night! We couldn't believe it. He thinks someone left it behind or decided not to get it because it was in the most random spot, near a bunch of soap he says. =P So Ian grabbed a cart and purchased it, brought it home and didn't tell me until the next morning that he got one. =) So, I got to wake up to a great surprise in my car! I don't know why Heavenly Father cared so much that we got a trampoline, but it was so great to think that he cared enough to help Ian and answer his prayer and provide this great toy for our family to enjoy for the next couple of decades. It was so awesome to have another reminder of how much Heavenly Father loves us that he even helps us with the silliest little requests. =) Thank you Katie and Caleb for getting us this great present! Here's some pictures of our whole family putting it up at our new house!

Eva, Morgan, Elizabeth, Jordan, my dad, my mom, Julie, Emily, Kenny, Ian, me, Kira and Zoey were all there that day to put up the new trampoline. Kenny also helped Ian mount our tv onto our living room wall, Julie helped me with curtains, and there were lots of other projects getting done around the house with so many people there to help out and enjoy the projects and company of family.
