I've been running around crazy for the past few weeks and finally have a minute to update our blog. June began with poor JJ finishing first grade. He was sad but I think we've got him excited for second grade finally! Joel left for his annual military 2 weeks a few weeks into June. The kiddos and I survived! (So did Joel)
After Joel got home, I was able to sit down and finish the month of sewing madness that I started at the beginning of June. After 10 dresses and 5 ties, I was done! Joel's brother Bryn got married on the 7th of July. It was a beautiful wedding although the rain didn't want us to take too many pictures!
2 days later, Joel and I attended the pre deployement readiness conference in SLC. The entire day was getting a bunch of information for families to be prepared for deployment. It was enjoyable, except the part where I had to talk. (I'm the Ombudsman for his unit which means I'm the liason between the commanding officer and all of the families) I hate talking in front of people. I was more nervous than when I played piano for Seymour Bernstein!!
We had a few days to recover, see Harry Potter, take the kiddos to 7 peaks and trafalga (both kids got to rock climb for the first time!) and I have sent Joel off again for more military stuff yesterday. He'll only be gone a few days this time but I'm pretty sure I've barely seen him these past few months! Feels like it anyway.
Looking forward to the next few weeks, I am going to training for Ombudsman stuff the first week of August (if they get my stuff done) Joel pointed out this is the first vacation that I have had by myself. Since we've met he's left 15 times and I'm always at home. I think he has a good point! I'll be back for a week of work and then our family vacation to disneyland and the beach house starts! I'm soooo excited!!
