June was a very chaotic month for me. Yet somehow, in the midst of the chaos, I still managed to find quite a few things to love and some of these things helped me get through the month without having even the smallest form of nervous breakdowns, despite wanting to. Without further ado, here's the things I loved the most for the month of June. Hands down, the best event for me, was a visit to my hometown of Siler City, North Carolina to visit my grandparents, my dad, my sisters and other family members. The weekend we went was their 50th

This is their large. Notice the size compared to Jeff's hand. We split that among three people. Now we're on our way to see I Love You, Man. So I'm blogging from my phone because I don't think I'll be home in time today. I just wanted to share the size of that pizza. AND its delicious!
I have a pretty wicked headache and am utterly exhausted. I've got no energy to write anything tonight so I'll just leave you with some local pictures. These are normally what I see on my morning commute and now that it's getting darker later, I have the opportunity to get some nice pictures before the sun goes down. Week = halfway done! Bring on Friday!
It’s okay for me to post this now, ten days late, because my decorations are still up!
Aside from EVERYTHING else, one of the worst feelings I had when they diagnosed me with the blood clots was the idea that I might miss Christmas. I had no doubt in my mind that we would still celebrate but I was very unclear as to what capacity I would be able to participate.
Thankfully, after a week or so of intensive treatment, my condition improved and we slowly got into the Christmas spirit. And I couldn’t have been more grateful that on Christmas morning, I was healthy enough to go to my parents house and eat delicious food, exchange gifts and watch movies with my family.
The thing with being as sick is that I was forced to reorganize my priorities. In years past, I’ve stressed myself out to the point where I couldn’t even enjoy the holidays because there was baking to be done, cards to be completed and mailed, presents to buy, travel plans to fulfill and just general chaos surrounding what was supposed to be a joyous and heartwarming time. But this year – this year I had an amazing holiday! I had to step back and pick only the most important things because my body wouldn’t let me push myself to that breaking point. It was already there.
