Our New Home

2010-09-12T17:33:00.000-07:00

As some of you know, we have moved in with Jacob's parents. We live in the basement, across the hall from his sister Elisabeth and her husband Alex. This is a wonderful opportunity. It's a great blessing that his parents were willing to provide a place for us to live while Jacob and I are in school! I can't even tell you how much we had to spend on books this semester alone, because it's absolutely ridiculous! Not only has this been a blessing financially, it is great to have support and kinship from your family. It's not like there aren't any new challenges with our new circumstances, but it's just like everything else in life. You do the best you can and enjoy life! The blessings always outshine the challenges!

We were so excited when our room was finally "done" and set up. We're still trying to find space for a couple more picture frames, and my tons and tons of pajamas that I can't seem to part with. It's a weird fetish I have, so we will find a place for ALL of my comfy clothes! :) But the room is for the most part how it'll be for at least the next year or two. So come take a look!

Labor Day & Our Trip to Washington

2010-09-06T10:46:00.000-07:00

LaBoR DaY!We went boating! Believe it or not, this was our first boating trip all summer! sad but at least we got one good run in! Jake loves to knee board and ski! He is pretty good too. He can do some cool tricks!

I got a new wake board last summer. I tried and tried and tried to get out of the water on it, but was out of luck. When I did get up, I was up for about 3 seconds before I fell. But this weekend it happened! The first try, I popped right out of the water and stayed up for longer than 3 seconds! I was a little overly ecstatic about it!

The water was FREEZING! But we had so much FUN!

BeAuTy PaRloR!

This weekend Elisabeth and I decided to play beauty parlor with our nieces, Lexus and PorSha. We even cut Lexus' hair! We also did their makeup.

Lexus had a lot of hair! Her hair is still long, but we chopped a lot off!

Elisabeth on makeup duty, Jake on picture duty, and me on styling duty.

The final Look! Her new hair looks so CUTE

wAsHiNgToN!!!

We have had a wonderful summer, jam-packed full of fun! This August we took Alex and Elisabeth to Washington to experience the fabulous North West! :) Jake served his mission in the Tacoma mission in Washington. I grew up in a suburb of Seattle, so we wanted them to see how absolutely amazing the evergreen state is! We may have done them an injustice by letting them experience Washington, because who wants to go back to the desert after you have experienced the luscious green beauty of the North West?

Us on top of the space needle!

Pregnant??? Nope, just full of poulsbo pizza...

One of my favorite past times, picking wild blackberries! So fun, and so yum!

Hiked part of Mt. Rainier! Taylor came along too, which made it a hundred times better!

Took a tour of the "old" Seattle, which is underground. We found Jake's hotel!

Fremont troll

We had a blast! It was awesome to see my family! It was fun to do the tourist part of Washington. And it was wonderful sharing a trip with Alex and Elisabeth.

Paradise!

2010-07-26T13:51:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad Hoffmann took us to Hawaii in June, with our brothers and sisters! It was a blast, and the trip of a lifetime! We wish we could share every amazing thing that we did while on this trip, but that would be quite a long post! So, we picked a few of our favorites to share with you!

Jacob got to go golfing with some of his brothers the first day we were in Hawaii! They had a ton of fun!

(Alex, Jake, Ben, Jason)

Our second day on Kauai we went on a helicopter tour of the island.

Captain Jacob Hoffmann of the USS Missouri. This was probably one of Jake's favorite excursions that we went on. We saw Pearl Harbor and toured the USS Missouri in the same day, and he was on Cloud 9.

We played on the beach, went boogy boarding, and found a new friend!

We were able to enjoy seeing the grounds of the Laie Temple. Unfortunately the temple was closed during our trip, so we were not able to enjoy the inside.

We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and played all day! We learned how to do a Tongan dance, play local games, throw spears, and make coconut bread. We went to the dinner and show that the PCC provided at the end of our day.

Jake and Josh are putting our spear throwing lessons to good use!

The Dole Plantation, where we were able to sample tasty pineapple. We also picked an oyster and got a pearl while we were here!

Para-sailing was AMAZING! We even got a dip in the ocean on our way back to the boat!

The Hilo Burger Joint is a local joint in... you guessed it, HILO! They have games for you to play while you wait for your meal... Jacob's practicing for his next surgery!

We saw a few beautiful waterfalls. We took a small hike to see this one.

I decided to take the path not taken... Flash back from my barefoot days of running around in the woods as a kid!

The Black Sand Beach, where the sand really is black! This beach was gorgeous!

And people wonder how Jacob fell in love with me.

This was on of my favorite activities! We snorkeled in Maui.

Jacob absolutely loves Forest Gump! How fitting!

We also got to spend some time with our nephew Grant. CUTE! Baby Grant added so much fun to our vacation!

We really did have a BLAST! We can't wait for our next Adventure! Thank you to M&D Hoffmann for this wonderful opportunity! Hawaii is amazing, but even better with family!

What's happening at the Hoffmann house

2010-06-06T18:56:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-03-29T15:15:00.000-07:00

So this is my first time blogging and E says that I need to "get in on this", so here I am "getting in on this". We had the coolest Valentines day ever!!! E bought me (us) tickets to see the best comedian of all time,

This was one of the greatest gifts I have ever received!!! We went to dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ, courtesy of ma and pa Dillie's gift card from Christmas-thank you, and then to the the main event.

We had more fun than a fat kid in a candy store!!!! He was the greatest and so worth the money. This was a dream of mine for many years, yet I never thought I would have the opportunity to see him perform. All of this was brought to you impart by my loving wife!! She heard the advertisement on the radio and went for it before the tickets were sold out. She gave them to me for Christmas, so the hardest part was waiting for the time to finally arrive!! Now it's my turn to surprise her, don't know with what yet, but it will come to me; insperation happens to be my jar of pickles!!

24 This Year!

2010-02-07T18:53:00.000-08:00

This is what my sweetheart surprised me with for my birthday this year! He wrote a poem about us and framed it with our picture! How thoughtful and sweet! I love it! He really knows how to melt my heart!

This poem is the story of us,

It's the story of you and I.

And because of our temple marriage,

It will continue even after we die.

Our lives were forever changed,

As you introduced yourself to me.

We were in college at the time,

We soon knew it was meant to be.

We had many memorable dates,

I had the thought that "this could last."

We each had previous relationships,

But both of us soon forgot the past.

We threw pennies in the well,
Danced and had our first kiss.

If I had nothing in my life,

It is you I know I would miss.

As we stood there embracing the moment,

Looking up at all the stars,

Our love for each other was too great,

To fill any number of jars.

As time went on our love grew,

Something we thought could not be done.

Each day we spent together,

Our love increased one whole ton.

We spent many days together,

And so very few apart.

As time went on I realized,

You had secretly unlocked my heart.

You knew you wanted marriage,

Even after dating six months.

It took me a little longer,

I was the world's biggest dunce.

You calmly stood by my side,

And patiently waited for me.

It took me over two years,

To open my eyes and see.

You are the only one for me,

No one else in this world can compare.

I hope you still think I'm good looking,

Even after I've lost all my hair.

We got married for eternity,

And started this journey together.

When things get tough and hard,

It is the storm we must weather.

For when we have our children,

God's blessings they will be.

Our family unit forever,

You mean the world to me!

by, Jacob Hoffmann

A new semester!

2010-01-15T19:06:00.000-08:00

I have started a new semester! I am taking anatomy as well as nutrition. I'm excited for nutrition because it will help me to remember all of the things I'm supposed to be doing to stay healthy! Yum... now I actually have to buy all those delicious foods... and better yet remember they are there and need to be eaten.

Nutrition is a passion of mine. If I didn't want to be a nurse so bad, and If I wanted to stay in school for four or five more years... I would be a nutritionist!. Speaking of passions... I am SUPER EXCITED about taking anatomy. It is going to be a challenge. However, I find the human body fascinating! The fact that our cells just know what to do. That 2 simple cells can get together and duplicate over and over again until they created a fully functioning human being! CRAZY! Heavenly Father really knows what he's doing!I've learned that Da Vinci was a brilliant anatomist. He studied the human body to improve his art work. I get to study a cadaver during my anatomy lab this semester! This will be a new... completely AWESOME experience for me! I can not wait till we start studying with them!

All the while my J has been amazing. He picked me up for lunch today so we could have time together. If that surprise wasn't enough, I came home and the laundry was done and the dishes were in the dishwasher! I couldn't ask for a better friend and husband! I really couldn't do this without him! J will start school FULL TIME in the fall, and then we might have to find someone else to do the laundry and the dishes... ;)

Happy Holidays!!!

2010-01-10T18:31:00.000-08:00

So this may be a little late... better late than never. We had fun with family for thanksgiving! and Jacob had fun at the annual neighborhood turkey bowl.

And then Christmas came. Note: Jacob and I are firm believers that Christmas should not start until after thanks giving, so 2 days after the day of the grateful, we decorated for one of the best holiday's of the year! CHRISTMAS!!!

Yes it looks like J is the only one actually decorating... Keep in mind I'm the one with the camera.

Christmas eve dinner was very glamorous! We gad grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (My favorite) with sparkling cider (Jacob's favorite). We had a nice relaxed eve and watched the one and only The Christmas Story!

Christmas day was spent at Jacob's parents house! We spent the day playing games and relaxing. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

My Cinderella?

2009-11-09T18:43:00.000-08:00

This is a big THANK YOU to my loving hubby! When I was making the big decision of wether or not to continue with school my J told me that no matter what my choice was he 100% supports me! When I made my decision, to stay in school (for what seems like forever) he kept his word. This is how he spent his weekend.

He cleaned our house, and even scrubbed the floor by hand with a rag. (we don't own a mop.) I had to sneak a picture because he was working so hard... and he really did remind me of cinderella while he was scrubbing the floors.

As if scrubbing the floors wasn't enough...

Jake and Ben took my VERY OLD break pads and rotors off and put new ones on. (I don't really know what rotors are for or if I even spelt it right. But the boys worked hard and made a big difference!)

THANK YOU JACOB! I couldn't do it with out you!!!

Pumpkin Marathon!

2009-11-08T18:55:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween!!! We had a pumpkin marathon, and Jacob won! J loves to carve pumpkins, and he got really creative this year!

This is J with all of his AWESOME pumpkins! He is so creative and artsy! I'm amazed at his talent!!!These are his pumkins! Yes, he did four!

My pumkin.. it's Boo from monsters inc.

Elisabeth and I were witches

Happy Halloween from us!!!

more motorcycles

2009-10-21T12:04:00.000-07:00

Jacob's brother (Ben) and sister (Rachel) have bikes too. We all went for a ride and we thought these pictures were fun!

Left to right: Rachel (yes they painted her bike pink! A girls gotta have a bike that matches all of her cute pink gear!) Jason (he's Rachel's beau) Ben and Angela (she's Ben's girlfriend) on the red one, and us on the far right!

Alex and Elisabeth drove behind us and took these pics! We were all headed to Leatherby's for some DELICIOUS ice cream!

New Toys!

2009-09-16T19:03:00.000-07:00

New toys are always fun! Especially if they are big, fast and powerful, according to Tim the tool man taylor. Jacob was super excited to finally have his motorcycle He loves it!

Notice he still has his bandages from the crash? We must be insane!

Battle Wonds

2009-09-14T20:24:00.000-07:00

Jacob says that I'm accident prone... But I say he's accident prone, I'm just oops prone. I'm known for things like almost always spilling my glass of juice on the carpet, dropping a vase and shattering it, etc. in short I'm a klutz. BUT Jake is amazing at getting in big accidents! It seems that he's always getting hurt! He's just your classic boy, who works hard and plays harder! So, here's our most recent adventure!

Long story short, Jacob was riding home on the scooter and some kid didn't bother to look before he changed lanes and moved right into Jake's Liane and almost hit him. Lucky for us, Jacob knew what to do to avoid getting hit. Unfortunately it didn't keep him from crashing! So, here's some pictures of his road rash. We had already started cleaning before we took pictures. I wish I could have gotten a few oozing bloody ones for ya! Sorry! It still looks pretty cool though.

During and after cleaning

this one is his tricep. It doesn't look too bad, but this one hurt a bit more than the other ones in the beginning.

Elisabeth and I cleaned him up with Hydrogen peroxide! Can you see all the bubbling down his arm? It's hard to see, but the road rash in these pictures goes from just below his elbow and then tapers all the way down to his wrist!

FHE Idea

2009-08-09T19:37:00.000-07:00

We went to the Ogden Raptor's Game a few weeks ago! America First Credit Union (that's where Jake works) gave us free tickets. We had lots of fun! But that is not the FHE idea... scroll down.

When we got to the entry gate and showed our tickets, the ticket ladies handed us these cute little "Carmel Cob's" It's just carmel corn shaped to look like corn on the cob. So, here comes the FHE idea..
If you have little ones, cut out some paper in the shape of corn husks and let your kids color them while you (and maybe the older kids) make the carmel corn and shape it. Once the corn and the husks are done, place the corn in the husk so it looks like a corn on the cob. You may want to put the camel corn on a popsickle stick and then wrap the corn husks around them... this will probably be easier for the kids to hold and keep their hands from getting super sticky. That can be your entire Family Home Evening or you can end it by watching a movie with your kids and your cob, or playing fun farm games.

We aren't blessed with children yet, so we haven't done this FHE. If you try it, let me know how it goes! I'd love to know what went well and what might need to be changed! Hope you have fun!

Wow! Summer is going by sooo fast!

2009-08-09T18:46:00.000-07:00

In July we celebrated our 2nd anniversary! We spent the day with Alex and Elisabeth (they were celebrating their first anniversary) We went to the Zoo, dinner and a movie. After we split up we went to a cute little bed and breakfast in the Avenues of SLC.

Do we really have that much in common??? ;) Or maybe it's just what Jacob and the Monkey's have in common.... :)

This guy is the Hoffman sloth... we thought they'd let us take him home... since he's ours... but the zoo keeper took him back before we could get him in the car. Really though... he wasn't in a cage or anything, he was just chillin in one of the buildings on a tree. we walked right under him!

We saw these cute little monkey's! JB put his hands up to the glass and this little guy came up and put his hands wherever J put his! Cute. So I tried too!

We went to Idaho twice this summer. The 1st time was for Ryan and Katie's Baby blessing. They blessed cute little Nathan Allen Curtis! J stood in the circle and I'm the designated scribe. We've had the same jobs with both of their kids so lets see if we can keep the tradition alive! We stayed the night at Grandma Dille's! It was nice to see her! THEN we drove up again for the family reunion, which was tons of fun as it always is! On the drive home................................

OUR TIRE BLEW!!!

Lucky for us Jacob was driving and knew it happened right away, while oblivious me was sitting there wondering why in the heck we were pulling over! AND GUESS WHAT! There isn't a jack in my car! CRAP! So a BIG Thanks to Jacob's awesome cousin JASON who came and rescued us!!! Also lucky for us our tire was still under warranty and we got a new one Free! Plus DISCOUNT TIRE employees are GREAT and pointed out how horrible two of our other tires were (they were pretty darn bad) and switched them for us too! Always an adventure!

Firsts

2009-06-22T18:07:00.001-07:00

Yes we have more firsts! I'm super behind on our blogging... so we'll count this as catch up!while we were in Washington (yes, I know that was forever ago) J had his very first Cinabon! mmmmm, yummy! and he loved it!

And I made my very first Turkey! Thank you to Mom and Karina for letting me constantly pester you with my worries! Thanks to my Mother-in-law Jolene for her Turkey advice as well. The Turkey turned out great, AND we still had a kitchen after the fact... so it went pretty well. :)

I also ran my very first 5K race with Elisabeth! We had a blast! We beat our best time by 10 minutes. We were super pumped for the Race for the Cure! We have made a goal to do a 10K and hopefully a half marathon!

The Museum of Flight

2009-05-16T12:29:00.000-07:00

While we were in Washington, we went to the museum of flight! It was AWESOME! They've added a lot of exhibits since I was last there, when I was in elementary school... I will say this, If you go visit Washington, the museum of flight is a must see! If you live in WA and you've never been.... SHAME ON YOU! :)

Thank you Dad for being able to get us in for free and being our tour guide! We had so much fun spending the day with you! It was great!!!

I just thought this little car plane was the cutest thing ever! This one on your right is one of

J's favorite planes. I believe it's called a corsair... But you'd have to ask him! It's pretty sweet looking though.

This is his corsair again. and the little yellow one is one of my favorites from the day of seeing a ton of cute old planes!

We went to astronaut school and we were so darn good that they sent us out to space that day! I think Jacob's air tank broke... that might be why he's holding his breath! Or if you've seen Rocket Man, that might explain it too... hmmm.

Grandpa Randall served in World War II as a pilot in the Air Force. This is a B17 bomber, the plane he flew in the war. They actually offer rides in this one, so out of curiosity we asked how much it cost for one person to take a quick trip. Can you guess??? $430.00 Crazy!

Have You Ever Had Lobster?

2009-05-16T10:26:00.000-07:00

We went to Washington to visit my of the family! And Jacob has never had lobster! So my parents took us to Red Lobster, so Jacob could have his very first taste of those delicious little creepy sea animals. It was very nice of them to pay too.

We went to dinner with Michelle, Nick, Landen, baby Grant, and Mom and Dad. We gave Grant's baby blanket to Michelle when they got there. I was so EXCITED! but you'll hear more about that later.

He got so excited that he tried to shove the entire thing in his mouth at once!!! ;)

And there it is! His very first, and possibly last (money doesn't grow on trees you know!) Lobster!

Coming Soon

2009-05-13T14:54:00.000-07:00

We have been super busy, so brace yourselves for a giant update! Coming soon to computers near you! Ha Ha Ha, Cheesey we know... but that's the way we like it!

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig!

2009-04-05T15:17:00.000-07:00

Vegas was lots of fun! We left on thursday and came back Sunday. Thursday Night we walked down part of the strip. We went to Ceasar's Palace and had dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory.

We planned this trip with Elisabeth and Alex, and we're so glad we did! That just made it all the more fun!

Then of course we had to go play at FAO SCHWARTZ!!! Although not as big or as fun as the Seattle version... it was still entertaining!

The next day we went up and down the strip and tried to see a bit of everything!

Everybody loves M&M'S... We just happen to really like the blue ones! ;) Unfortunately, blue got away before we could get a bite!

And we finished the day at The Hard Rock Cafe.

Jacob's always pulling face! and there's never a dull moment with him!

On Saturday we went to a CHEAP shoe store where J got some tennies and I got some killer boots! We also went to the outlets for a little bit. However the highlight of the day was going to the Temple! The pics are on Elisabeth's camera so I'll try to post those when I get them from her. The temple is BEAUTIFUL!!! Yes, that's obvious, but it was more beautiful in ways I had not expected. It was a great experience, and probably my favorite part of the trip! We went to the famous Ci Ci's pizza for dinner and then back to the Sahara hotel where we relaxed and played games.

Las Vegas Here We Come!

2009-03-25T18:01:00.000-07:00

Yes, we are headed down to Las Vegas Nevada tomorrow morning! WooHoo!!! We are in desperate need of a vacation, so this will be nice! I will (hopefully) find the time to write about it when we get back! Don't miss us to much!!! ; D

A.F.C.U FOOTBALL

2009-01-18T20:25:00.000-08:00

This is J in all of his gear! J and Al were really excited to play in this tournament. Or really just to play football in general!

It was COLD so Elisabeth and I bundled up to watch the boys

Needless to say... Jacob, going long for a pass.... I think...

Oh, yes they even have matching jerseys! You'd think these two were twins if you didn't know better!

I wish I had a picture but I can't find it... so I'll describe it. Although they were playing flag football, most of the men there didn't exactly seem opposed to tackeling each other. Jacob was the receiver of a few tackles, one of which his face was involved! I know I shouldn't laugh but it was pretty funny! His lip was all swollen and bruised... I think he was pretty proud of all his battle wounds though.

Better late than never!

2009-01-18T19:56:00.000-08:00

This all started on Christmas day! Rod and Jolene (Jacob's parents) handed all of us a gift and said that we would all have to open them at the same time... Problem is, they turbo taped ours and probably didn't even tape theirs. Well they BLASTED us with silly string! So the war broke out and we all had a great time! They thought the war was over... But they were wrong! Alex, Elisabeth, Jacob and I spent new years eve with them. The plan was to blast them at the stroke of midnight! And we got them good!!! They leaned in for their new years kiss and we silly stringed them!

And yes we made them stay that way until we could find the camera!

Jacob and Alex.... definitely gloating.

Elisabeth and Elaina enjoying the pay back!

So we spent the rest of the night playing games and eating junk... We stayed up till 3:30 or 4:00 am. We had so much fun! That's what the holidays are for!

Whats new???

2008-11-15T15:02:00.000-08:00

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

2008-09-14T14:13:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-17T15:56:00.000-07:00

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!
