Ok so I want to try blogging again!! I thought that I didn't really have anything to blog about but as i sit and think about it I'm usually up to something! I also had forgotten my password so I was unable to log in until I took the time to reset it, its such a hassle! Right now we are living in Lawrence Kansas and we LOVE it! We live in a super cute duplex that has a garage!!! We've never had a garage of our own and its amazing! No kids yet to fill our spare bedroom but our animals are doing well, Meela turned 1 in August and I think has finally hit about 80lbs!! hopefully she has more growing to do. Kyle is attending the University of Kansas and doing great in school and I have taken a job with the Government I'd tell you what I do but I can't because its confidential!...Actually I work at a health clinic that serves Native Americans and Alaskan Natives! I really enjoy it because there is something new to do and see everyday. I aslo am slowly getting my name out there as a Massage Therapist which is what I would want to do full time if I had enough clients.

My mother in law gave me a steam bath cooker thing so lately lisa and I have been canning lots of yummy things! We purchased 100lbs of tomatoes from the Farmers Market and made a ton of spaghetti sauce and salsa! We also did Black beans and I am looking forward to canning Dilly Beans, which is my favorite!

I also am pathetically training for the Kansas City Marathon which is October 16th. I was very enthusiastic about running it the day I signed up but now I am regretting that impulsive act! However I know that when Race Day comes adrenaline will be rushing through my veins and I will enjoy every step for 26.2 miles! Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment when you realize you just did something not very many people will ever do! (No offense to any reader because I know there are things that you do everyday that I will not be able to accomplish in this lifetime)

Well theres a little update on the fam! Hopefully I'll remember the password this time and continue to blog, even if its just to post a recipe!! JK! I actually love those blogs and feel as though I dont make anything daring or fancy enough to compete but maybe every once in a while!
