### Jen and Jeff are famous!

I was just trying to look up Jen and Jeff on Google so that I could look at the satellite pictures of their house (I'm spying on them, yes)--and I found out that they are quoted in an article from the Arizona Tribune's website! Wow! The article was about the big, extensive family reunion from Jeff's side that they went to in July, and about the polygamous nature of the ancestor's family.

> Jeff Roy and his wife, Jenafer, talked polygamy on the drive up from Queen Creek, and Jeff wonders how it would work. Could more wives coexist in their four-bedroom home? Just how many trips to Wal-Mart each week would that be? Would there be 10 children or 17, instead of their current four with another on the way? (Yes, they have a Benjamin.) Think of all the dance lessons.
> "You know, I would think that that would be pretty hard," says Jeff, 31. "I don't know exactly what the future will hold as far as polygamy goes. I don't know whether I will be doing that in the next life or not. If that's something that I am supposed to do, then it will be worked out."
> How, exactly, is not something he expects to understand in this lifetime. But Jenafer thinks she could do it.
> "With the right woman, if I could handle her," says Jenafer, 29, who is pondering both this question and whether she should buy a B.F.J. Reunion T-shirt.
> "Obviously, when I was a teenager, I never thought I'd go along with it, but if the Lord came to us and said, 'I need you to do this,' I think I could."
> So here's why polygamy seemingly cannot, will not, just fade into history: This possibility, this "what if?" still lurks. Jeff and Jenafer and the Mormon Church all agree that Colorado City is awful. At the same time, they honor their ancestors and their belief in the Mormon Church - caught between a gospel they love, a seemingly immoral code and faith that in heaven, be it monogamy or polygamy, everything will be OK.

Awesome quotes, guys. You are so cool and so famous!
