June Wrap-Up Post


June was a interesting month for me. It wasn't the best month, and yet there were some moments that were awesome. To be honest, most of this month was a struggle. It's hard when everything is going on, and nothing seems to be going right. But I don't want to dwell on the not-so-great things of June... so lets look on the bright side. 

My family is all healthy. The sun shines when its not raining. And even when it is raining, our garden is growing because of it. Family is everything. Cake is good. Books are a good escape. Road trips are fun. 

Now, who's ready to hear about my month? *looks out at all the hands raised* Ok, good! Keep reading!

    The pictures and everything in this post were all so good!! It sounds like you've had an amazing time! ^^

    Our June was...crazy crazy crazy crazy!!! (You'll get to read about it on Friday. Let's hope I get the post up. LOL)

    Ummm, not sure about the posts. I'm kinda brain dead, and haven't been reading people's blogs like I should! *hides in shame*

    Ummm, sorta. Maybe survive? I'm supposed to take it easy on the goals because the stress of getting things done isn't helping my gut heath any, so yeah. Fun times. xD

    Don't give up, no matter what. And just to let Him orchestrate your life. Goals aren't near as important as you think unless God's in them. Just, don't stress about it!

    Love this post!! <3 <3 <3

    I enjoyed this wrap-up just like any other month! *smiles*

  4. it has been a interesting month for me. I have been on a self care break from my position as a Crisis Councilor so this month has consisted Mental Rehabilitation and keeping up with my 2 summer classes i'm taking. I Had a few unwanted suprises , but I managed to for the first time in awhile go and hang out with friends before she went to college.... i've been growing things also. Begonias, to be exact. I am probably going to soon re pot them and bring them into my indoor garden. I also have a Aloe Vera plant that grows in my room year long. Your road ya take home looks REALLY pretty! Sorry that you had to say goodbye to your cat : (

  8. What a fun wrapup! Are you growing cactus from seeds? (do they even grow from seeds? I'm assuming they do???) I've never heard of doing that before!!

    I spent a lot of my June visiting my friends and extended family, which was fun.

    (Also, hey! I've seen you around the blogsphere but have never checked your blog out. It seems like we have a ton of mutual friends/participate in a lot of the same blog tours :) I came from Abigayle Claire's post. :)

    1. Thank you! Well, yes, I was trying to grow cactus from seeds, but apparently they don't grow when watered with vinegar... lol, oops! I actually never have seen cactus seeds until recently, so I had to get some and try it! They took special dirt to grow them in. Maybe I will have to try growing them again. XD

      That does sound fun!

      (Hi! I have seen you around too, but never checked your blog out either. Well, I'm so glad you stopped by! *scurries off to check out your blog*)
