Jeff is home...and studying?

For those of you who don't know, Jeff has finally started his real job with Ernst and Young. His first day was July 6th, but he had training in LA and actually flew out on the 5th. He stayed there until Friday night (the 10th), came home for 36 hours and then flew out for more training, to Chicago, until the 16th. Poor kid had a rough and boring time. He had meetings all day, a kind of crazy roommate in LA, and the hardest time getting to and from Chicago. Jeff's plane was scheduled to leave for Chicago on Sunday morning at 10. First it was delayed until 11:30...then 2:00...and then canceled all together. He then was put on standby for the 5:00 and 7:00 planes, but didn't make either of them. He finally managed to fly to Minneapolis (while his luggage flew to Chicago with out him) and stay the night there and fly out quite early to get to Chicago in time for meetings. I figured it was the Lord's way of making Jeff and Matt (the other new hire from Salt Lake) not have to work on Sunday. Then, to top off getting to Chicago, when Jeff opened his bag, he found out that his electric razor had been turned on and died and he didn't have his charger! He had a long week but about died when he tried to check in to the airport Friday night to get home just to find out that his itinerary had been canceled. Talk about heart attack! He wasn't very pleasant to anyone at that time, but they managed to get him on the overbooked flight anyway.
So, he did make it home and Chloe and I are very glad to see him. Don't get me wrong, we had a fantastic two weeks mooching off Mammy and Pampa and partying all the time with Lucy and Jack, but it was nice to sleep in our own beds with Daddy near by. Saturday morning we decided to go swimming at our complex's pool. Chloe loved it! She was so cute in her little swimming suit with her turtle floaty! But, now that Chloe is sleeping, Jeff has decided to STUDY! What the heck? He graduated in April, but here I am doing nothing because he has to study for his CPA exams. What is the world coming to? BORING!!! We are a lot closer to being real people then we have ever been in our lives but man is it boring. Good luck to those of you on your way to being grown ups...it stinks!

P.S. The new background is for my husband, Jeff! He told me that one of his conversations in Chicago turned to Twilight and Jeff told everyone that he was "Team Jacob." He really has no idea what he is talking about when he says that, but he loves to see the reactions of people around him. He is the funniest guy I know! I love him so much!!!
