noteworthy events, thoughts, etc...of June...so far

Went to Yuma, AZ...it was hot...but always worth it.

Drove back to Salt Lake from Yuma, AZ...it was a long drive...but worth it.

Ate In-n-Out burger in San Diego and Las Vegas. Yes, I realize we now have In-n-Out in Utah, but I mean...I got to be in San Diego and Las Vegas...and for some reason...it tastes better there (however, if anyone wants to go to In-n-Out in Utah...call me...I'm in)

My mom finished her second Master's degree program and can now Vice principle the students she once taught...as some of you may know, my mom is my greatest hero...and I can't really begin to express how proud I am of her...I know it was very stressful and frustrating...but she did it. I love my mom for so many reasons...but I will spare you all another post about her...for now anyway. But she is FAB-ULOUS!!

My friend Josie just had another baby...CONGRATS. The story of the birth, as written by her husband, is quite humorous...and when I grow up to be a mom, I hope that along with my own mother's mad skills, I can learn a few of Josie's as well. She is one bitchin' mom.

Going to opening day of the farmer's market...I've been drooling over thoughts of cantaloupe, corn on the cob, cherries, black raspberries, blueberries, radishes, breads, humus...and all other manner of delectable eats found at the farmer's market...not too mention it is prime people watching. Rain of shine...I will be there tomorrow morning.

Enjoyed many early morning breakfasts on my veranda (that was for you mom) also known as my balcony...seriously...if you want to start your morning off right...come eat breakfast on my balcony...any morning of the week...I'll whip up something delightful.

Finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird for the nth time...I really don't know how many times I've read it...the first time was in junior high. My mom says it is a book that should be read about every four years because each time it will mean something different...so true. Loved it just as much this time as when I was 12...in fact I may love it more now...and definitely appreciate it on an entirely different level.

So far I feel that June has treated me well...we shall see what the rest of the month brings...I'm very much looking forward to July with it's concerts (Brandi Carlile and Lilith Fair) and plays (Hair)...and any other surprises!
