Wow. How did an entire month go by without any blog posts? June was an incredibly hectic, albeit fun, month. Here's a summary of what ensued:
First week of June: Drove to Fort Worth for my friend Kendra's daughter's second birthday; went to party; spent night at Billy's cousin's house in Dallas; drove home. Went straight to high school graduation party for another friend's daughter. Got home. Went to work.
Second week of June: Worked; packed for Belize; Billy's mom got delayed getting into town; my mom watched Will the first night we were gone until Billy's mom came in. We left on Thursday; had glorious times in Belize (and for those of you wondering, we did fine leaving Will. We called home a couple of times and he was fine--having a few Belikin beers while lounging on the beach also helped alleviate nerves); came home Tuesday. Went to work.
Third week of June: My sister from Portland, Paula, and her family came into town for a week; my sister from Dallas, Pam, and her family also came into town; they stayed at my folk's place in Georgetown; went back and forth to visit. Went to work; went to Six Flags; went to Sea World, went to work; went to Main Event; went to work. Sisters left. Went to friend's 40th birthday party at Salt lick; had new and old neighbors over for dinner. Went to work.
Fourth Week of June/First week of July: Dear friend Jen's wedding (for which I was a bridesmaid). Rehearsal dinner Thursday night at Lambert's; spa day Friday with the other bridesmaids and bride; Threadgill's and Broken Spoke Friday night with wedding party; wedding, reception and general debauchery until 4:30am Saturday (Sunday?). Picked up Will at my folk's place Sunday; got home; took three Advil. Crashed.
Overall it was a really fun month with great friends and family, but it's nice to be back to a semblance of normal. Here's a summary of the month in pictures:

Day two of wedding festivities at the Broken Spoke:
People complimented us on our dancing. People have no idea how much we fake it (or maybe they were just being nice):
Wedding day! The beautiful bride with her bridesmaids at Shoreline Grill:
This is basically how the rest of the evening went, hence the need for three Advil later:
