What's happening at the Hoffmann house

Life gets busy but it's always full of fun! So here is an update of what we've been up to lately!
We have found that we love to cook together! Jacob can crack an egg with one hand and not get any shells in his mix! I can't even do that with two hands!It's a good thing I made us some aprons, because you will rarely find Jacob cooking in something other than a white shirt!
J is a much better baker than I am so I usually let him do the baking! And his cake was DELICIOUS!Rodney (My dad-in-law) taught me how to do some Utah gardening, which you'll see from the pictures of the green beans we planted, is a lot harder than gardening in Washington. it seems like things just like to grow in WA but they have a harder time when planted in rocky clay soil by inexperienced hands. Rod did one row and I did the other... that way we would be assured that something would grow ;)
Can you guess what row I planted? Yes, that would be the shabby one with the giant gap in the middle! I'm so proud of my little bean plants even if I only got a few. They're about 2 inches tall now, and believe it or not several more have popped up and are starting to catch up with the othersYesterday I ran the Nestles 5K in Springville! I made pretty good time... for me anyway. I ran the race with Janni which was super fun! It was nice to have a running buddy, especially for the GIGANTIC hill we had to climb!We're just so excited that we actually made it up that killer hill!
We forgot to tell you that Jacob had surgery on February 18th. He had a warn rotator cuff that just wasn't getting better with physical therapy, so surgery was the next step.
I'm pulling off his original bandage so we can get him cleaned up and put a new bandage on. and boy was that stuff STICKY! OUCH!

After a couple weeks of healing he went back to physical therapy to fully recover.

Crazy that we are so close yet we have no idea what is going on with eachother until we blog. Good thing we are friends and so that kinda stuff doesn't matter. Can't wait to have you as neighbors (almost)

He cleans and cooks! You guys are so cute! Did you do the etching on your dish? You may have to show me how to do that while you're here. I'm extremely impressed with your gardening skills. I've probably killed more plants this year than you. :) The pic where you're pulling off Jacob's bandage... GROSS!!!! I miss you! You can talk my ear off anytime you like. Can't wait to see you!

Michelle- No, I didn't do the etching. Jolene went over to Bob and Glenda's house (next door neighbors) and made them for us for Christmas. and Yes Jacob is amazing! I'm so lucky to have him! Love you! 12 MORE DAYS!!!
