Whats new???

Things are staying pretty much the same over here in the Hoffmann house... However a few things are new. I am now working for a doc instead of the nurse practitioners! Although work is a lot more demanding of my time now, the change was probably the best thing for me.. and for J's sanity. So that is going very well. Jacob is still working at the credit union. He and Alex are playing in the football tournament that the company is putting on. So he's been hitting the gym everyday! I am now trying to train for a marathon. I just started but I have untill the summer and so far things are going good. I have a training buddy and she keeps me on track and checks in with me daily. So, in the summer of 2009 you can expect some 26 mile finish line pictures on here. And if I decide to be a quitter (becuase my body hurts already) you guys can give me crap for not sticking it out.

Our recent adventures

So we stepped in to the crazy mode of life for a little bit. About a week ago J woke up sick in the middle of the night. I woke up with him of course. We waited to see if his pain would go away but it was persistent. As I'm looking through the medicine cabinet (not able to find his very last pain killer) the pain gets worse and so we rushed off to the hospital. The docs and nurses give him iv fluids and meds, take blood, and body scans. Nothing. They don't know whats wrong with him, which has been the case in the past. So they waited for the pain to pass and let us go. I put him back to bed at 6:30 am and tried frantically to find somebody to cover the first part of my work day while I got some shut eye. I did get it covered and I also told Jacobs boss that he wouldn't be in for a few hours if at all. So we both got a bit of sleep. A few hours later, I hopped out of the shower to get dressed and ready for work and on my way to my room I stepped in a wet spot on the carpet... hmm that's weird... so we thought that my feet were still wet from the shower and I got the carpet wet... no biggy right... WRONG!!! I, in fact did not have wet feet and did not get the carpet wet. We open the door to one of our landlords storage closets and it's completely flooded. The water crept under the door and soaked our carpet from the pad up. It only got worse from there. As our landlord and her little helpers are trying to fix the problem, they are making it worse, turning that storage room and our bathtub into a fountain of sewage! SICK! So, we spent the next couple days and nights at Jacob's parents home. (THANK HEAVENS FOR FAMILY) When we came home, the carpet was not shampooed or cleaned... so our apartment reaked! I had to convince our landlord to carpet clean it... that was not an easy task.. so we spent another night at Rod and Joleen's place. Finally it was livable. We febreezed our entire house and soaked everything in bleach... and then life went mostly back to normal. So they say these things come in threes and we're hoping we got lucky and skipped the third... but we'll just have to wait and see!

Meet the Hoffmanns

Well, this is us! We have been married for just over a year, and we've loved every minute of it!!! Everyone tells us that we're so happy because we're still in the "Newlywed" phase... But it's our goal to be in the newlywed stage for eternity! We are STILL going to school. We'll probably be in school for the rest of FOREVER! Jacob is working at a credit union and majoring in Radiology Tech. Elaina is working as a medical assistant at an OBGYN clinic and will be majoring in Surgical Tech. We love to watch movies, play games, and ride around town on "our" scooter. We are actually renting it from J's brother. If he's not careful, he may never get it back... we've been sucked in and now we're addicted. More about us coming soon!
