June showers are gone and July sunshine is here!

It's amazing...the weather has changed...the attitudes have changed....and we have had an AWESOME first 7 days of July!

July 1st brought a new dark and sultry look to Stacie's hair, a high and tight cut for Rich, and my maiden trip to Wingdome in Greenwood. We spent the evening with Brandon & Courtney, and Kelby the 5th wheel (as Ryan was at softball). Good times...3 words "Bag of ...." I will just refer to that as "Bag of Meat"...hahah!

July 2nd was full of work and relaxation...in preparation for our long weekend away!

July 3rd - 5th was spent with our 4th of July Family (Alex & Co.) for a little food (understatement of the year), drinks (2nd understatement of the year) and LOTS of fun and fireworks! Chukar was able to roam the apple orchards, play in the canal, meet a few other bird dogs (and even another Brittany). Such a great time!

July 6th was back to business and training for me all day...then a few hours in the office to get caught back up. Of course, we are never all work and no play in this house, so we headed to Taco Tuesday in Ballard with Heather and Adam. Can't beat $0.50 tacos and $3 Pacificos, and the GREAT company!

Today, well, well, well...today has been a roller-coaster of emotions. More class! More sunshine! And my parents reaching their destination on their road trip...Jenn's! Still trying to digest how that went/is going, but I do know that healing takes times and they are all working on it. For me, I'm still figuring out how things are going to be...and how they will ever feel "normal" again? Is it possible? How do we heal? How long will it take? What is the next step? How can people take sides on something so personal? Are people allowed to have opinions when they don't know the whole truth? Why do I still feel like the victim? Whose choice is it? Amazing the amount of emotions that can just flood through you at a time like this. I'm so blessed to have such an AMAZING husband who knows when I need a hug and knows when I need to be alone to digest everything. His support has carried me today...and faith in us is amazing everyday!

I'm excited for my parents to be back home on Sunday and get to celebrate them bringing Maggie Mae home...and Chukar getting to meet her! LOVE it!

Tonight...Kelby is heading over and we are meeting up with Heather, Adam and Amanda at Novelty Hill for some boccie ball and wine (it's the Wednesday Wine-Down, of course).

We have a few more weeks until we head to Cali to visit Rich's sister and family...and need to get some time with Rich's parents on the calendar ASAP. So grateful for family...and getting to make the most of the one's who love us unconditionally....it truly is amazing that we both have parents that continue to show their love for us.

The rest of the month continues to bring the best...our 1st anniversary is just the tip of the iceberg!
