Jay and I like salsa. We have been making salsa for years. In Utah we would wait until the tomatoes come on the end of September and make at least 30 pints of canned salsa. Since we have moved to Arizona getting tomatoes by the bushel is very difficult. Therefore we are stuck with making fresh salsa by the batch. I love Jay's salsa and the fresh uncooked is so good. It is different than what we used to can but is still delicious. The only problem, I am allergic to fresh tomatoes. As I sit here looking at the big batch of salsa Jay is making I know I will eat a good amount of it and end up with a mouth full of cancors for it...... Ok, there are two problems, I also have no self control when it comes to Jay's salsa. I could eat the whole batch before the kids get back from shopping. I better not or they might throw me in the pool.
Salsa always reminds me of Fall in Utah. The cool crisp air, smell of falling leaves on the ground, and the frequent breeze blowing through Pleasant Grove. In Arizona we can have salsa all year round but it isn't the same. Makes me kind of home sick.
As for what's going on.... Jay just got back from San Francisco for business and will be heading out for Portland Oregon in the next week. At least they are only day trips or over a single night. Jace starts college back up this week. He is only taking the standard English, Math type classes with the exception of Japanese. He is really excited for that class. Got to take something fun to make it through each semester.

August!
August is always a busy month for us with School starting, our anniversary and my birthday all lumped together. This year didn't change that. Jaron started school on August 6th. I can't believe it is so early. I hate that we don't get at least 1/2 of August as summer. But he is there now and dealing ok.
Two days later was Jay and my 21st Wedding Anniversary..... I can't believe it has been that long. Of course, if I tell Jay that he reminds me that it is actually 25 years we have been together. He is so helpful sometimes. We both worked so we didn't do much for the anniversary but we are proud. It is something to be proud of to know that we have worked so hard to keep our family together. I am dang lucky to have a man willing to put in so much effort. And everyone thought I was the one that would have to work at being calm!!!! If you only knew.... hee hee hee
Last weekend we finished our last tile job in this house. Jay has wanted to do it for a year but we always seem to do it in the summer. It is great to be indoors then. It looks good but I am glad it is the last one. I think I have sore muscles where I don't even have muscles to begin with.
Jace starts school next week then we will all be back to the grind stone. I will not have my own live in maid anymore so it will be hard for me too. Of course, I won't have a 19 year old home making messes all day either... hee hee hee

Not Ready Yet!
Jaron came into me today while I was working and mentioned that he starts school next week. NEXT WEEK! Today is August 1st and by Wednesday of next week Jaron will be in school again. I am so not ready for this. I am not ready for him to be back in school. Not that I mind him going to school every day but the constant worries about home work, grades, fashion, friends, etc. I am really not ready.
Jace doesn't start yet at least so we have a while for that but August is supposed to be my month to enjoy my birthday, and anniversary. Now we will have school going before either of those happen. This really bites!
