How We Spent Our Weekend...

This picture about sums it up for me...



Jeff was extremely helpful, cleaning out a closet, washing the car, etc. (in between teasing me about the teenage, vampire, love-saga I was engrossed in!) We had a couple of great dinners out at Dragonfly's Rolls & Bowls and Leonardo's 706. Both were very tasty and we'll be visiting both again! All-in-all, a great weekend!

Can you believe I'm going to Paris in 10 days!! Whoopee!

And so it begins...

Jeff has his first dental school interview (at UF) next Friday, August 8th! I'm so proud of him! Hopefully, it will not be the only one! Prayers, good thoughts, positive energy, karma or whatever would be appreciated!

First, Happy Birthday, Dad! We wish we could be there to celebrate with you! Have fun with your gift but beware the Wii-njuries!

Second, we wish our friend, Cassie, a speedy recovery! She had her wisdom teeth taken out this morning. She was a little worried about the surgeon hitting her nerve so, she had us take a good look at her smile last night just in case.

Lastly, have you all seen this You Tube clip!?! I thought the Lion was attacking those men but really he was just happy to see them! They featured this on the Today show and said that this lion had been raised by these two men. After they had released it into the wild, it became the head of its pack and the men were just checking up on it. Well, it recognized them! What a great reunion!

Great Flick!

We saw this movie on Saturday and LOVED it! Health Ledger is an amazing Joker and Christian Bale is definitely my favorite Batman!

Time to Vote 4 Titletown!

Dear Readers,
For those of you who are Gators, the choice is obvious. For those who are not, you have my sympathies. You'll just have to trust me...Gainesville definitely deserves to be ESPN's Titletown. Vote today! GO GATORS!!

And on the 22nd Day...

...the Lord said, "let there be another Tobler female!" And He saw that this was good!

Congratulations, Kyle & Kim, on your forthcoming baby girl! Another Tobler girl...YIPEE! (Jeff is really starting to worry...two in a row!)

A New Sport is Born...Sort of

After five days of head cold...I'm feeling much better! I was going stir-crazy at home, not feeling well enough to be productive. The highlight of my Friday was a drive around Gainesville (running a few errands) with Jeff and some soup at Crisper's. We did manage to have some fun on Saturday--probably a little too much for me, I was in bed all Sunday!

A couple of our friends had their dental school white coat ceremony, celebrating their half-way mark in dental school and the beginning of their work in the clinic. They threw a great party at our condo's club house that evening and we had a great time. The boys started playing football in the pool after dinner and since the football was too slippery when wet...Jeff grabbed our big watermelon and jumped in. Thus the beginning of watermelon football...






Tossing the "ball." Apparently, this was quite a work-out!



Getting tackled



The boys and their new "ball." Unfortunately, the game had to stop when it cracked!

Nothing Like a Cold to Slow You Down!

I've got a head cold that's kept me home from work yesterday and today. Yuck! I'm so bored!

Gainesville 4 Titletown USA!!

So, Gainesville is up for ESPN's "Titletown USA" designation. They had a segment on Sportscenter last night where Erin Andrews and Tim Tebow made the case for why Gainesville deserves to win. I got chills just watching it! I'm *so* excited for football season to start and I'm *so* thankful that after 10 years I'm still here! It's home to me and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be!

Anyway, voting begins July 24th!

It's all fun and games until...

We are still on our racquetball kick! We played Friday and Saturday night with Cassie and Craig. I'm getting better but I think Jeff may have regressed a little bit. He doesn't seem to be able to stay in his space (he's all over the place!) and he kept trying to take his teammates (Cassie's) head off with his racket. They had a few collisions that could have been disastrous and he did manage to whack her real good on the arm. She has a nice welt and forthcoming bruise to show for it! I took a racquetball to the nose--it went numb, bled and is little sore now! After blood was drawn we decided to stop and go to dinner...nothing a little (or a lot) of pizza can't fix!
