tomatoes

so i am not too good at keeping this thing current. i'll have to work on that.
so since the last entry... rylan and i ran two more races. he ran the christy matthewson 6K and took first in his age group. just so you know, a 6K = 3.75 miles. i ran the mile run and beat my time. even without the fire engine and marching band behind me!

we also endeavored to make tomato sauce last week. and it was a disatser. we scorched the bottoms of the tomatoes, thereby making the sauce taste like and smell like cigarette smoke. so we had to toss the entire batch. it was sad. and frustrating.

since then, we celebrated our third wedding anniversary. yay us! we ate chinese food and watched the Village. it stil gives us goosebumps.
had a meeting at the college where i'll be teaching in the fall and met with teh otehr new teachers. i think it will be a really good experience. and i have an office!!! with a key! and a desk! and bookshelves!!!! yay! at the other school i carry everything around with me like pack mule. i need a chiropractor so badly.

but made tomatoes today. actually canned tomaotes today. we knew we we're going to lsoe them if we didn't do it soon.. our friend christine and her son hunter came over and we spent all day canning, she, rylan and i. and you know, they look awfully pretty in their jars afterwards. (after the all day process..) it takes a while. but it's good to know they will be put aside for the winter, for when we need them. one less thing we will need to buy. another way we can save up our garden and preserve it for later use. so that's a happy thing.

tomorrow, we leave to go to dc, to the temple there. i always look forward to going to that temple. it is where we were married and sealed for eternity. the feeling of peace that exists there is beyond belief.
am still reading les miserables. still loving it.

in the ensign this past month, maybe this months? presidnet hinckley has challeneged everyone to finish reading the book of mormon by the end of the year. he said if you read a chapter and a half a day, you can do it. so we're going to do our best to achieve that.

not much else going on here. perhaps that's why i haven't written much.
