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!

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!"

Carmel Popcorn

We decided to make some carmel popcorn for a treat one Sunday night.  Then after eating it and LOVING it, we decided to make another batch and run and take it to our home and visiting teaching families!  The night was a success with no cracked teeth (that we know of!)

Whats been going on!

The past few weeks have been busy and great!!  We are enjoying the fall weather and everything that comes along with that. . . . . minus the cold!  Here are some things that we have been doing!

Not only does Jer work SO hard at school and work, he takes care of our cars, fixes little problems around our apartment, goes to the grocery store with me (usually on a weekend night . . . I guess that has become our date night now that we are married!), teaches the 11 year olds in Primary each Sunday . . . . . and he likes to COOK!  We are always trying new things and one night he wanted to make homemade pizza, it turned out GREAT!  And I think he is pretty great!

One night we went for a drive up the canyon and saw the view!

Utah is just so gosh darn pretty!
