In a Jam...BLUEBERRY JAM!!!

I had a bunch of blueberries and decided to make some jam!

First I had to sterilize the jars.

There was a lot of sugar in this recipe. Next time I will definitely try to find a recipe with less!

The blueberries ready to go!

Blueberries are surprisingly red when mashed up!

The final product...DELICIOUS!

10 Things

Here are 10 things that are new with us:

1. I have an interview next Tuesday! I am so excited. I have been working PRN at Namaste and applying for other jobs. This morning I got a call to schedule an interview. It is at a hospital on the Rehab floor. I hope that it works out!
2. Scott is in Idaho! He has been able to get together with our best man and it sounds like he is having a good time an enjoying it.
3. Scott is supposed to be going to South Padre Island sometime in September. I really, really hope that it works out for me to go with him. It would be even cooler if I could meet up with Lacey while I am there.
4. Gunnison and I walked a couple of miles at the dog park today...I love the dog park!
5. Last weekend we went on a trip with the Mile High Bug Club. We saw a Coach Whip, a toad, lots of tarantulas and 2 rattlesnakes fighting!
6. I am going to re-teach myself how to crochet.
7. I am currently reading the book "The Help". I have heard wonderful things about it, but I just cannot get into it. I think that I might put it down, start another book and wait for the movie.
8. I am making a commitment to myself to workout every day. Either I will go for a really good walk and then do sit-ups and stuff at the apartment, or go to the workout room. 
9. I am either getting sick or my allergies are acting up. I am so tired and I am sneezing so, so much! Today I sneezed 11 times in a row. I think it was a record for me!
10. When Stephanie stayed at my apartment she brought us 5 pounds of blueberries. I still have about 3 pounds of blueberries in my freezer. I put them in cereal and pancakes. I am open to other ideas of what to do with them!

Summer Vacation 2011

So sorry that I have been slacking in the updating-my-blog department. We have just been so crazy busy, and it is honestly hard to believe that it is mid-August already! 

We had a wonderful trip to Wisconsin and the UP! I really, really wish that it could have been a little bit longer so that we could do more things and see more people. I think that it teased us and made us a bit more homesick for our families and the water! Here are some pictures from our trip:

Gunnison enjoying the boat ride!

The cottage is famous for its beautiful sunsets!

Beating the heat!

The dogs finally wore each other out!
