Why Women Are Jealous of Me...

I am married to Heber, that's why.  I love Heber.  He is super.  Let me give you 5 reasons:

5-He listens to me.  I chat to him all the time, switching from one topic to another and back, and he keeps listening.  I don't always talk about deep things, but we can converse on whatever level.  It is so nice.  I have a true friend in Heber.

4-He is practical.  He wants to do things right.  Be it work or play, religious or temporal...Heber likes to do it realistically and RIGHT...

3-He constantly works to progress and be better.  Even if being better is choosing not to stress about or overdo it.

2-He is soooo funny.  I don't think anyone has any idea how funny he is.  You have to live with him.  It comes in the little comments.  His "wit is wet!" and oh so funny.  This is one of my favorites about Heber.

1-He is handsome.  He is so handsome.  Just look at him.  He is so handsome.  He is perfect for me!

I Love You, Heber.

New Job

I got a job!  Isn't that great?  I will be working very part-time at the American Fork High School teaching ceramics and study skills.  I am pretty excited about it.  It is perfect for me.  I can still do home art--freelance work, and I can  keep up with the little errands that always plague us, and still work a little.  My first day is August 18th.  It is a little scary to be with HS students, but at least this time I won't be one of them!  I am hoping Jared will teach me how to scare them real good, so they will be nice!  Anyway, I am excited about this, so I thought I would share.

AST 2008 3v3 Basketball Champion :)

I just started work at a company called Applied Signal Technology, and started just in time...to participate in their annual 3-on-3 basketball tournament

We played the tournament outside in the HOT sun, and I got a bit too much sun..

But it was well worth it, as our team won first place and each team member got one of these high-quality trophies:

It really was a lot of fun to play some basketball at work... and I even got to hit the winning shot in the last game :)

Our New Computer Program

We haven't figured out how to make this unfragmented, but here is a video we made for fun anyhow.  I know I sound like  I am going to die--I will keep working on my acting! Jenni  

Graduation Time, Come On! Let's Celebrate!

Hi Everyone!

He did it! He did it!  Yeah! Heber just graduated from BYU with a degree in Computer Science!  Whoopee!  He also had a minor in Psychology---he chose some tough curriculum for himself, and he did it!  He graduated.  We are very proud of him at the Sheffield house.  He did a great job.  I sure love him! Thank you to all for you love, prayers and support!  

One other exciting thing is he bought "Me" a  graduation gift!  Well, we are both sharing it, but he bought us a new Apple desktop--pretty darn nice!  

So Heber starts work full-time tomorrow for a company in Salt Lake.  It is called Applied Signal Technology.  He will be doing more computer programming.  I have also been looking for jobs.  I have this boutique (for more info, go to elephantshrunkart.blogspot.com) I am working on for Saturday, but other than that, I am looking for work...  We will see what happens.  Thanks to all.  By the way, both Heber and I will be walking for our graduations in August.  I decided to wait and walk with him, even though I graduated last December!

Stress

Hey All (meaning Aunt Arlene, Amy, Linzy, and Maybe Cody, Mom and Barb---the ones who will actually read this!),
Heber is on his last semester of classes, and we are very grateful for that. However, We are also stressed out, soooo please give us some of your prayers. Just take a second and pray we will get through this without too much anxiety and major stress. He has some huge projects and they are all compacted into a short spring semester, so help us out!
Thanks!
I am working on my art pretty full time. I have been disciplining myself and putting together a logo and researching the market and doing the story time felts job, so hopefully, I will be able to be a full-time free-lancer. I am also getting a job as an art teacher, hopefully! We shall see.
Hope everyone is doing good!

Yard work: hard work

Jenni and I are starting to work out the details of our yard. Here is a video I made while playing around with Google SketchUp. File size is about 1MB, so it may take a minute to load...

Our Date

Hello Out There!









Heber and I just returned from our hot date. We started by going to Los Hermanos and eating some semi-mexican food. Heber got his usual Smothered Burrito, and I tried something new--Chile Relano (sorry if that is spelled wrong--I'm more of a French speaker and a Spanish eater). I liked everything except the batter it was cooked in- it was soggy! Next, we went to the Dollar Store to kill sometime. We found all the things we didn't know we needed, including a big fat eighties belt for me. Finally, we went to the new movie, Emma Smith. It was excellent. We really liked seeing and learning more of her story. What trials. My life is way easy compared to hers. Everyone should see it. It really is a good, uplifting movie.
Now we are back home, and I thought we would post some pictures! We are still happy and married!

Jenni and Heber

No work and all Clay

We had dinner with Ryan & Kara a couple of times in the last month. Each time we played with clay after - it was great fun.

Kara and her dog!

Ryan being modest about his SENSATIONAL teddy-bear body (the clay one)

Jenni made a cute bird ;)

This 'aint no half-baked idea - they're done.

Doing Great!

Heber and Jenni are doing wonderful. We love married life and each other. It is really nice to have your best friend forever--literally! I had a good cry into Heber's lap the other day (just having a bad day), and I realized that having someone to cry to is a first for me. I usually just find a corner. I really love Heber. He is so good to me. He helps me cook and clean and fixes up stuff all over the house. And don't be telling me it will stop because his Dad still does it! Anyway, I am working at getting an art business going, and Heber is finishing up school. He will graduate now in June (cross your fingers). We are doing very well! Jenni
