June Is Here!

So far June has been hot and humid and wet. A couple weeks after having surgery we escaped to the ocean where we can hear the waves crash and the seagulls sing. It was a much needed getaway. Those 65 minutes away from home was the remedy that I needed after being cooped up in a room with four walls. The kids forgot how the sun felt on their face. Their cheeks turned red within seconds but as we continued to walk further into the beach feeling the sand in our toes they forgot about the scorching heat. And ran against the waves and tagged each other back and forth. All Jon wanted to do was relax and lay on the sand but to no avail. We sat and stared at the sun on a bench where Chelsea captured our smiles. He didn't mind. He was just happy to have been at the beach with us where packages aren't delivered. It was a beautiful pre-summer hot day and fun family beach day and we look forward to more days like these this summer! 

Happy June! Enjoy the picture vomit! 

A Thank You Letter To My Friends & Family.

Having gall bladder surgery was something I was not expecting to have this month. Or ever. Having throwing up for four days straight and not able to keep anything in and waking up to major pain on my right side one morning was something that concerned me and luckily my husband took work off for three days to make sure it wasn't anything serious. Well, I guess having my gall bladder lit up with stones was pretty serious for me and although it took the doctors a day and a half to make sure everything else in my body was working properly went ahead and scheduled the surgery for later on that night. Like 11:30 at night! I was not afraid but curious. Wondering how this was going to turn out in the end. I've never had surgery except to have c-section babies and that is it. I have always been a healthy woman but I guess when you're nearing 50 (I turn 50 this September) your body will have begin to have age relating issues. And this one really snuck up on me! Luckily I had no other serious health issues. They ruled out stomach ulcers, and I did have a belly hernia which was fixed during surgery. Don't ask me what that was because I don't even remember the doctor's answer when I asked him.
