JUNE Happenings

Image
Our 11th Anniversary Our wedding anniversary is June 11th, but on that day we attended the funeral of Cadon Buttel, son of Candice & Benzo Buttel. Benzo became one of Aljay's good friends when we moved here. His son Cadon was 19 when he had drowned. We wouldn't be anywhere else but at the funeral. After the funeral  service we took the kids to a nice family dinner.  Got to see Uncle Milton and Mileen Tyler and Juanita moved into Vineyard (which is our ward boundary). We took over some dinner and got to hang out little bit :) Always good to see family! Father's Day Just before Father's day both Aljay and I started feeling sluggish, bloated, and blaah. So when Father's day came around, Aljay wanted simple. So breakfast in bed was relatively light. Meatloaf, potato mash, green salad, and fruit for to'ona'i, and brownie sunday's for dessert.

It seems like every month spurs on a new challenge.  Racism & Black Lives Matter  ❤ Right now, the Black Lives Matter Movement is taking center stage. The media is flooded with riots, protests, looting, uncertainty, misinformation, pain, hatred, misunderstanding, anger, with a few sprinkles of happy and uplifting stories.  But overall, the atmosphere has been heavy and gloomy. This image pretty much sums it up my social media feeds.  My heart has been so heavy this past weekend. I've been been sad, angry, anxious, confused, uncertain...all the things. I've been on social media wanting to stay informed and up to date on everything that is happening in this country and in our own state, but often going down a rabbit hole of sadness, pain, and fear.  If you need a reminder of what current events I'm referring to, click HERE .

5/1 | Moving from Red to Orange I've been more conscious about having to date everything. With quarantine living our days seem to just blend into each other. It's such a weird time. Sometimes it feels like time is moving soooo slow and then all of a sudden it's May and I can't believe all the time that has passed! Anyways...this month our state started to slowly and cautiously start opening up again. We've gone from High Risk to Moderate Risk. Non- essential businesses have opened up with proper precautions put in place.  5/7 | Happy 6th Birthday Viiga!
