Step 1

So you know your husband is studying for Step 1 if:
-you wake up to a strange woman's voice and then realize it is his alarm clock and it is talking about endotoxins and e-coli
-during sacrament meeting he leans over to you and whispers, "do you know what the kidney disease is that comes after e-coli 0157:h7?"
-you are constantly being interrupted (during a story you are telling about YOUR day)by him quizzing you about subject matter that your story reminds him of even though he knows you will not know the answer
-you turn down a girl's night to hang out with him and then he says, I have to finish taking a test first
-he starts using words like mittelschmertz and spinnbarkeit not in the context they should be (I will let you look them up!)
-you look over at him and he has a pen behind one ear and a highlighter behind the other (this is the case this very minute in fact)
-he is growing a hideously sharp beard/molesterstache......sigh....one day I will get my husband back!

On-yong

So today the Anderson's left us....they just packed up their huge yellow Penske and drove away. We will miss our late weekend chats, watching Pete try to teach Chris how to play Halo (but Chris failing miserably), hearing Emily saying funny things like cash money, and seeing cute Abby who I am still convinced eats 24 hours a day! We just had to watch the season finale of Survior without them. As Heather would say, BOO! Good luck in Ohio, we will miss you!






We had a BBQ to say goodbye to all our wonderful friends and neighbors who are moving away this summer. Nick and Natalie were too good for our good old George Foreman grill, so they brought a real one to show us up. It was fun, but it sure is sad to see such wonderful people go.
