Hello fellow bloggers and blog-stalkers! I recently heard that term and I thought it was funny. And fitting for some. Jer and I get that way sometimes, where we just keep following people's links around the blogging world. Anyway, guess we should throw out some updates on our life here in Woods Cross. Nothing too exciting but I'll do my best to make it worth at least tuning in for picture updates.

I'm still enjoying my job, and Jer is this close to quitting. If you could see my fingers right now you would notice that they are maybe a millimeter apart. At this point she is holding on until we get her work to pay us for the shots we are getting to go to Africa and our pet bills we've accumulated this year. Got to love that cafeteria plan!

We've bumped up our dates to go to Africa, so now we will be having an African Christmas! That will be a little weird I think, since it will be summer over there. We're pretty excited to go though, hopefully it all works out like we want it to. Other than that not much is going on, just the usual for us. Working, paying bills, trying to save for a house next year, and trying to make each other laugh. My new favorite time for that is while Jer is playing the organ in church. I choose to sit up on the stage with her but I hide behind the organ so the congregation can't see me. Jer can though. I like to make her smile. And snort, that's when I know I did something funny.

So, here are the pictures with a little update on what's been going on. Hope everyone is doing well!

Jer happened to get Moose with the toe polish as well, so it wasn't just me that got it. He seems to be a little more embarrassed about it though.

Jer and I watched some of her nieces while their mom and dad went to a play. We had a good time playing with the girls and watching a movie. Aria is the one that Jer is carrying around (cute mom) and Macy is showing us all her new school stuff.

This is how I babysit. I get the kid to fall asleep so I can fall asleep too. :)

Jer decided to make us some peach jam from some of the peaches we picked from the fruit trees in the back. I wasn't sure if I would like it much, but I have found it's great on toast!

Ha, scary. Jer decided she needed to dye her hair back to brown for her new passport picture. I got to do it. Jer didn't realize her makeup was smearing, guess we should get her the waterproof kind...

This is Mike. He is my friend. From forever ago. Seriously, I don't even remember when we met. He is an avid BYU fan and has season tickets. Being such a good friend, I occasionally get to go to a game with him. Thanks Kim! That's Mike's wife.

We got to the game a little early so we decided to walk around and look at the pre-game festivities. We tried the football toss but with no success. I would like to point out that I did manage to hit the picture of the receiver right in the number though. :)


Last but not least, one of my favorite foods since I got married. Jer introduced me to turkey steaks from Maddox, and since that time we have them almost once a week. Our most recent discovery is that we can make a real good turkey steak burger with fry sauce. Soooo good. On Saturday Mike came over once he got off work to watch the BYU vs. Washington game since we have cable. I decided we would be having turkey steak burgers instead of pizza for the game. Mmmm... Our other recent discovery is that we make really good chicken fried chicken with gravy. My mouth is watering just thinking about all this yummy food. Guess I should go eat something!
