6 Months!

Today is our 6 month anniversary!  To celebrate we went to church, came home and had left over Papa Murphey's Pizza, and I watched tv while Jer did homework all night!  Great huh?! And still after 6 months I get excited that at night we don't have to go home to our different apartments!  Pretty retarded . . . I know!!

Awards Banquet

Jeremy is smart. He is so smart that the past few years of his engineering degree he has earned straight A's. Because of his smartness and hard work we were able to go to an Awards Banquet at the U for the Engineering Department. You could say it was a room full of nerds. . . I mean smarty pants.




He is smart AND good looking!

This is just ONE of the THREE times that Jeremy's name was listed in the booklet for scholarships. I counted, I think just one other boy's name was announced 3 times like Jeremy's was that night! I know what you are thinking . . . . and yes, you are right . . . he is the smarter one out of the two of us, and don't worry, you didn't hurt my feelings!!

A Mountain of Rolls

This is what happens when you leave your rolls out to rise too long! They still turned out good . . . . after we poked them a little to make them go down!

Maren's Birthday/Halloween Party

Ward Halloween Partay!

The week before Halloween our fantastic ward put on a fun Halloween party!  We had a great time dancing, eating and chatting with good people!

I am the Secretary in the Primary Presidency and the ward activities committee asked us to dress up as Wicked Witches of the West to pass out candy to all the kids!  I think we did a pretty good job!

Primary Children's

Jer had angioplasty done over his fall break.  He has a stent in his heart and since becoming married and now insured ("you're welcome" says your full time employed wife!) decided back in August to make a visit to his doctor which is at Primary Children's (since he has had this problem since childhood).  After a few hours of tests and procedures the doctor felt it would be best to do another angioplasty to really see what was going on.  So we scheduled it for a couple months later and just waited.  The surgery came and went great and the doctor was really pleased with everything he saw and was able to ballon out his stent a little bit more to hopefully help his blood pressure.  Jer spent the night in the hospital and I was able to take him home the next afternoon!  After just a couple days he was back to his "normal" self! All in all the experience went well (minus the fact that he passed out on me and the nurse after 6 hours of laying down and then getting up to go to the bathroom. . . . talk about a fast way to get 5 nurses and the doctor back in the room!) 

Thanks to everyone who thought about us that day!

The best part of a 25 year old being a patient at Primary's were all the comments I heard. Such as . . . . . "Wow that is a tall patient" as he is being rolled by in the hall in his bed. Or when the nurse was taking me into the recovery room while he was waking up after surgery saying to me "Come here sweetheart, I will take you to your boy."  I replied and said . . . "Oh well he is my husband, not my son!"  . . . we had a good laugh . . then joked about how all men are just little boys!  And lastly even 25 year olds get to leave Primary Children's with a blanket that someone made for them with love!  (I did give it a good couple washes before using it at home!)

The staff there were all just so wonderful and I hope that we never have to spend anymore time at that hospital. . . it was sad hearing crying babies and seeing all the children who were patients there, how lucky we are for our good health!

This is the only picture I got . . . . I sure do love "my boy!"
