June

June 28th finds me on the couch in my PJs reeling from the month I've just had. I don't know if I've ever experienced a month quite like it. So many milestones, events and getaways crammed into 28 days and it's still not over! This is a small taste of our experiences of June 2010.

June 2nd - Hazel's 1st birthday. Swimming, eating, and joy-ing for our 1-year-old.

June 4th - Hazel has a scope and biopsy done on her esophagus, stomach and intestines showing that she indeed has eosinophilic esophagitis or EE (as we suspected all along). 7 long hours at Primary Children's Hospital. She was so cute in her little gown and such a good girl.

June 8-11 - Annual getaway to Park City. We stayed at the beautiful Westgate Resort in the Canyons while Jarom attended the annual convention for Secondary Principals. Shopping, eating and shopping some more.

June 10th - Celebrated Jarom's 30th birthday in Park City with a BBQ and cake.

June 12th - Successfully planned and carried out a surprise party for Jarom's 30th birthday. He was actually surprised. His family came from California, we danced and ate nachos and chocolate cake. Many long-lost friends came and it was a special night. Thanks to those who came and made it special. And my apologies if you weren't invited. I was a wreck for the whole month before and I know I left some out that he would have loved to see there. So glad it's over!

June 15th-16th - Beehive campout. Cute girls+s'mores+tinfoil dinners+wind=successful overnighter.

June 16th - Cannon's 3rd birthday. Jumping, left-over nachos, cake. So much fun for my little boy!

June 17-19 - Trek. Jarom and I were a "Ma & Pa" for 10 kids for a handcart Trek through the mountains. 20 miles, exhaustion, dancing, eating, pulling, hiking, dirt. We came back exhausted, sore and forever changed.

June 20th - Father's Day. I love my father(s) and the mystifying father of my babies. I'm sad we didn't really get to celebrate, but I hope that the 3 fathers in my life know who they are and that they are loved.

June 21-27 - Wright Reunion/Becar Family Magical Mystery RV Tour. 7 days in a giant motorhome with my little family was amazing. We traveled to Lake Woahink just outside the coastal city of Florence, OR. We boated, ate, talked, shopped, 4-wheeled and enjoyed our awesome Wright family (My mother's side). I'm planning a full post dedicated to this trip. A highlight for me was definitely being on the tube with Jasmin and Kristin. We were pretty much assaulted and abused on the tube and my neck hurt for days but I've never laughed so hard in my ever loving life.

June 24 - Celebrated 6 years of marriage! We snuck away from the reunion festivities for a quiet dinner at a sleepy little seafood place and a walk on the docks where the fishing boats were resting. I had oysters for the first time and discovered my unquenchable LOVE for clam chowder. Holy heck, fresh seafood is freaking good stuff. I vow to someday live where it's readily available. Jarom had a double cheeseburger, of course.

June 28 - Nap until July.

This does not include the doctor appointments, physical therapy, packing, unpacking, repacking etc. I'm not doing this to brag (not sure if advertising my inability to say "no" and clinical insanity is really considered bragging). But, I'm in awe of the stuff we were able to do in one month. I'm not necessarily someone who loves having a lot to do. In fact, I really like my down time. I plan on having lots of downtime the rest of the summer. I do feel incredibly happy that I have the opportunities that I do. I guess in short, I love my crazy life.
