This last month has been NUTS! But it's okay. We're grateful for the work and school opportunities more than we are driven crazy by them. Even if we have to juggle all of these things with only one car... But we have a car! So we are grateful for that as well. =P
This month's events (last half of Aug, first half of Sep):
Jason's basketball team placed 1st in their division (B League). I got to watch a couple of the games and my husband is crazy, lol. Crazy fast that is! Which is why he can get away with not being 6'8".
We went on a temple trip to Redlands with the ward and had a BBQ afterward (yum!).
School started for me (as I mentioned it would).
We won tickets to the San Diego zoo on the same radio station we've been winning the other stuff. We love that radio station! We're not sure we'll want to go twice, as in the case of Soak City (which we will hopefully be using our second set of tickets on this Friday), so we're trying to figure out who to take with us.
Jason signed us up to run in something called the Ragnar Relay, which is a 200 mile race divided into 36 legs run by 12 people (runner 1 runs legs 1, 13, and 25; runner 2 runs legs 2, 14, and 26, etc...). It starts in Lake Mead and ends in Las Vegas. The race is mid-October so we've been training. =) A few couples from our ward and the ward that meets in our building after us are on the team, and I'm excited to get to know them better.
We went to the temple again, only this time for sealing assignments, which we've never done before. It was such a wonderful experience. There were marriages, as I'd expected, but then we also got to help seal kids to their parents, and that was the most special, happy, excited feeling of all. What a wonderful feeling. =)
Our car got a flat and it can't be repaired so we're driving around at no more than 55mph on a donut until we have a chance to get to a used tire place. <_<
I think that pretty much sums it up. I hope I didn't forget anything... We love you all and look forward to hearing from here. You should know I check this blog at least once a week to see if anyone's written, since I'm horrible at calling people (mostly because I don't think to until it's really late) but would like to keep in touch. So happy writing!
