Our June

Now that it's August, I suppose I should back track to our June, so that I can also post our July! Half the time I don't even know what day it is right now. I keep saying that I feel like I'm in the twilight zone and there's no sign of that ending anytime soon. But none-the-less, we've made memories and have cute pictures to share!

Most of our month was chaos between getting the house ready to leave, our travels and me being gone!

(can you spot the kitty in the fort?)

Grandpa and Grandma came to help us get the house ready!

The boys (and Phoebe) did an incredible job on our trip up to NY! We let Phoebe out of her carrier for the first time and she sat so well and quietly in between the boys. Normally she cries the whole time she is in her case. We purchased a DVD player and it was the best $60 we ever spent!!! That and snacks helped us all survive! 👐👐👐

Hotel life.......

I've had this post drafted for a while as I tried to figure out what to post about the people we said goodbye to. We didn't have a huge crowd, but we had our people. Which is just the way I like it. I don't need to have a mass surrounding me, just a few tight-knit friends who do REAL life together. Who get me. I had that....and I'm thankful that I'll always have them, no matter the miles between us. It's those friends that go the distance and last a lifetime. Our foundation is built on the good, the bad and the ugly. They've seen me at my worst and at my best. They've celebrated with me in the blessings of life and picked me up from the pits of it. Saying goodbye to them has been one of the hardest things I've done. The tears I've cried in the months leading up to it, during and after have been many and this transition has been incredibly painful. But.....then again, to the people who truly have our hearts, it's never goodbye. You know who you are - and you are loved. And missed dearly already.
