Here are some things that have made June awesome:
1. Getting Elliot's pictures taken professionally for the first time for his birthday party invitations, which turned out adorable.
2. We had a family reunion (on my mom's side) and I got to catch up with relatives I haven't seen in a long time. I also ate so much watermelon I had a stomach ache.
Oh, and I did this:
which for me is pretty much the ultimate state of being.
3. I found some sheer curtains to hang over our kitchen slider! The best part is that I only paid $15 total for two panels and a scarf that altogether would have originally cost $240! That might be one of my best scores ever.
4. Elliot celebrated his first Father's Day with his daddy on Sunday. It was special watching Elliot walk around with his unending smiles saying "da da" and "daddy." So much has changed so quickly.
5. Seasons 5 of Psych and 4 of Leverage, both were excellent.
6. My beautiful mother turned 50 years old yesterday. My family celebrated with a delicious dinner of BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, salad and iced tea. Josh and I brought her a pretty bouquet of chrysanthemums, carnations and snapdragons (some of her favorites) and I am working hard at finishing her present, which will hopefully be finished soon so I can share pictures! I'm pretty pleased with it.
7. Yesterday also was 5 months to the day since my miscarriage ended in January. This is very exciting for me, as this means my body is healthy and healed enough that we can try to have another baby. It feels like these 5 months have dragged on and have been a test to my patience, but here I am! I am excited to see what the rest of this year will hold for our family.
