Goodbye June............ Welcome July!

Oh how I loved the month of June. June was a good month and I'll give you the top 10 reasons why I just loved it.

1. Wonderful weather!
2. Celebrated Father's day
3. Went camping
4. I'm gonna be an AUNT!!! 
5. Went to Zion's park
6. My princess went from sharp to square.
7. Eclipse
8. Got an Iphone
9. I finally have a normal looking bed
10. Enrolled in school again

Now let me go into detail and show you some pics.

1- I love nice weather and although I can't say it was nice everyday most of it was and that is good enough for me. I just know it's gonna get pretty hot and I'm gonna hate it. I wish I was on a beach right about now and believe me I wouldn't complain about how hot it was then.

2- My girls had fun knowing it was father's day and we made (ok I made) him some blue french toast for breakfast and he had some chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows at church and had a decent dinner with the family.

3- We attempted to go camping, but was a FAILURE! we had fun though ;-) it was colder up where we went and we really weren't that well prepared. It was windy and then it rained and some of us couldn't sleep others were high maintenance with their cots and inflatable beds while three of us slept like you should sleep while camping....in sleeping bags (that was Jahvel, Mia and I by the way......oh Velani? oh she probably slept comfortably with my mom in her inflatable bed, but don't even think for a second that mom was getting away with it that easy, she's not allowed to sleep comfortable when Velani is around.

I really want to do it again, but hopefully it isn't too cold nor too hot next time we do.

4- It was great finding out. So unique and well planned out. I'm glad I was the first one to finally catch on. See this is what happened........we played some games and the girls were getting fussy and I was ready to leave, but it was not meant to happen quite yet. So Braulio and Alison got another game ready and well you have to write a statement on a piece of paper for example: what not to say to a pregnant lady ( it was one of the ones they did) and then everyone gets to write an answer example: Dang your Fat!!! (that was mine) and put it in a bowl and no one can say who wrote it. Then the person who read the statement start by guessing who wrote the answer and if he doesn't guess right then the next person gets a chance at it and so on until everyone took a turn and then we move on to the next statement and so on and so forth....did that make sense? anyways the point is that all of the statements had to do with pregnancy and none of them were the ones that we each wrote and finally the obvious statement that went "what would you get for Braulio and Alison's baby shower?" and we were all about to start writing when I was like "wait, are you guys pregnant!?" and then came the tears and hugs and that's how it went down. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to the new addition to the family. Congrats to my big brother and sister.

5-  We went to Zion's park (with some of the Relief Society sisters from church) because it was national park day.

7- We went to watch Eclipse yesterday and it was GREAT! I loved it. I love those books. I hadn't read a book since high school and Braulio, yes Braulio, got me hooked on those books. Once I started I couldn't put that book down. Jahvel made me stop every night, but he saw how I loved them and bought them for me and so now I'm reading books again. So recommend some good ones for me please.

8- I finally got a "new" phone. An iphone!!!!! My pink phone was messed up since the day I accidentally dropped it in the tub (bathing the girls) and I was really sick and tired of that phone because it wouldn't charge all the way due to a short circuit or something.

9- When we moved into our house back in Garland my in laws gave us a queen size mattress and the box spring, but we never bought a frame to go with it and we slept like that until we moved here and finally bought a bed frame. I loved having it off the floor, but it just wasn't enough and we couldn't really afford buying a new bedroom set or never saw anything that matched the furniture we already had, but now we have what I've been wanting for a looooooong time. Jahvel put it together and I am loving it, but now I need to find some cuter bedspreads.

10-  I'm going back to school and I am thrilled! I enrolled and I want to major in Psychology. It's gonna take a while and I am not gonna rush into it. I'm gonna take it nice and slow........I hope. I gotta start all over again though. Apparently the school I went to before where I got my associates in applied science isn't a regionally accredited school and so I have to take basics again. I guess since it was a technical school it's only good for a medical assistant, but that's not what I want to be for the rest of my life. I have to think of the day my children will get married and leave (that will be a sad day, but it's gonna happen)  and so I don't want to be stuck as a medical assistant at who knows what age and then go back to school so I'm doing it now (no offense to those who are older and medical assistants).

So there you have it. I do have a reason I didn't like June and that's because my Velani not only has to deal with diabetes for the rest of her life, but with Celiac disease as well. It's tough, but we'll learn and we'll do good, but hopefully they will find a cure for diabetes in her life time and get more foods out there that are gluten-free. Jahvel and I were also tested for celiac and the results came back negative, but we still have Mia to check.
