All about Jeff.....

These past couple of weeks seem to have flown by. I have been looking forward to going home for a REALLY long time and now it's just a week away. I seriously CAN NOT wait. I think my homesickness has set in a little more these past couple of months since I have been so sick. I used to be the one who was calling my mom telling her all the fun things I've been doing, and now, she's the one calling me telling me all the fun things her and my family have been doing... That is partly my fault, I haven't been up for doing too much lately. Ask Jeff. Needless to say, I am very excited to go home.

Last week Jeff was playing basketball with some guys from church and he called me about a half hour after he left and said... well, I'm on my way home, I cut my eye pretty good. Somehow him and another guy (I won't say any names Devin) :) ran into each other and happened to both get a big gash by their eye. Jeff probably should have gone and gotten stitches but we quickly discovered that option was a little too expensive, so we settled for some steri-strips to hold it together.

This is a couple of days after the fact... he got a pretty black eye.

Jeff finally finished tiling our bathroom... here is the end result.
He did a pretty good job if I do say so myself... especially for a beginner. I forgot to get a before picture which I am mad about, but just imagine ugly linoleum. The base-boards have since been put on but we need to repaint them and touch up a few paint spots on the wall from pulling off the baseboards... and then we really will be ALL DONE... for now. :)

Also.. since this post seems to be about Jeff, I can't forget to mention that he PASSED his boards!! We are so thrilled... and even more thrilled to have it all behind us. What a relief to know he doesn't have to worry about them for a few more years.

School is back in full swing, but so far I haven't heard Jeff complain once about how hard his classes are, nor have I witnessed him studying... he seems to enjoy this semester and is always quick to remind me on the days he doesn't have to be to school until 1... or the days he gets done at noon. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it continues to be an easy semester.

Last weekend we had some people over to watch the BYU football game. BYU FOOTBALL you ask??? If you know Jeff at all, you will know that he is NOT a fan of BYU football, or BYU anything for that matter. But we're always looking for an excuse to have people over, so we did... on ONE condition.... he puts up THIS sign...


Of course everyone who came either went to BYU or was rooting for BYU, which only lights the fire more for my husband who will happily cheer on the other team. Unfortunately for Jeff... BYU came out with the win. I'm sure my dad was gleaming with joy. :)

As always at football gatherings... the girls will be in the other room with the food...


And the boys will intently be watching the game...

Just as it should be....

I have another Dr.'s appt. this week and hopefully I will be able to schedule my ultrasound appt to find out the sex. I can hardly wait!

Until next time...

I love the separation of boys and girls. So funny. Unfortunately, I think I'd be in the other room watching the game. Not that I don't love you girls, but I love me some cougs. :)

We can't wait to see you guys... make sure you save us a night for games!! Poor Jeffy and his eye... but yeah for the bathroom and the test... and for you feeling somewhat better! Love ya

LOVE your new bathroom floor! I had no problem picturing the before picture since we live in an entire city filled with ugly bathroom floors (and random toilets in the basement?) Oh, and Jeff does a really good job pretending he hates BYU :)

love the football pictures. regardless of whether or not there is a game, if there is food, that is where you will always find me!

I totally second Meredith's wise comment: Jeff does a good job pretending he isn't a BYU fan. :) Thanks for having us over - that night was a ton of fun!! I just copied the pictures off of your blog!

Oh!!! I can't believe you get to go home and you're not picking us up on the way!!!! I'm jealous! But happy you get to go home for your sister's wedding! I think the dislike of BYU is inborn if you are a Wegener... And gets stronger the older you get! Then might wane just a bit when you live far from Utah and realize how affordable BYU. My kids all want to go to USU, so hopefully were safe! Tell Jeffy congrats!

So sorry about the eye--it really wasn't my fault to telling to to be careful when you played basketball! The bathroom floor looks great. Hope we get to check it out in person sometime soon. Congratulations on passing your board, Jeff. Anxious to see you two next week!

the byu sign is great. of course, dan would like to rip it up in jeff's face, but he won't because he is too nice. ;) also, i think jeff needs to stop playing church ball...doesn't he know only apostates still play church ball?? the spirit goes to bed before church ball starts...that's why there is always bad feelings and injuries as a result of playing. ;)
