We started off the month of June by celebrating my brother-in-law's birthday with a family dinner. It was a fun evening.
Later that week, I went to the wine bar I went to for my birthday with a couple of friends. We had a really good night just catching up on life and enjoying yummy food and drink together.
The next week, K.W. and S.W. came over for dinner and we watched the Bachelorette and Pretty Little Liars together (well, at least the females of us watched those together. The boys hung out in another room). We had a fun night. S.W. and I spend a lot of time texting each other to theorize about Pretty Little Liars.
The next week, I had a wine night with my wine ladies. There weren't very many of us able to make it that evening, but we still had a great night with good conversations.
The next day, I celebrated my friend S.C.'s birthday with a fun group of ladies. Since it was too hot to do our original plan of s'mores around a bonfire, the birthday girl decided to do make your own sundaes instead. It was delicious!
The following day, we headed to our favorite place: Disneyland! We were able to spend our first day there with K.W. and S.W. and their sweet little man, as well as a couple of their friends (the little man didn't stay with us all day. S.W.'s aunt came to pick him up in the afternoon). It was so fun to be in the park with friends again.
We also got to enjoy a special treat that day: we got to eat lunch at Club 33! If you've never heard of it before, it's because it's a pretty secret, super hard to get into restaurant located in New Orleans Square in Disneyland. I can't say how we got in, but it was a big surprise for us, and we found out only a few days before we left that we were going to be going there.

The rest of the day was spent going on as many rides as we could and squeezing every last minute of our time together enjoying the parks. We also got to see the new fireworks show and it was incredible!
The next morning, Josh and I headed to the park for a couple of hours before going to a baby shower for S.W. Even though their cute little man has been out of the womb for awhile, her family was unable to do a shower for her earlier. I was so happy to be included in the festivities. S.W. and her little family got loved on in a big way. After the shower, we headed back to the park. We watched the fireworks again from a different spot and were able to see things we didn't get to see the night before.

And the following day, we spent a couple of hours in the parks before we headed home. It was a long, but super fun weekend, but it's always so nice to be back home.
A few days after we got home, we went to see Jurassic World. We both really enjoyed it! I thought it was really well done and was a great sequel to the first movie (the second and third are definitely not my favorites).
Later that week, I had another wine night with my wine ladies. We decided to have two this month since not everyone was able to make it on one date. We had a much bigger group this time and had a really wonderful evening catching up on life.
The next day, I was able to have a coffee date with L.B. and her girls. We always have the best conversations when we are together.
The following day, we went to see Inside Out. Such a cute movie (oh, and you may want to bring some tissues. It's a Pixar movie, so you know there's gonna be some moments that bring on the waterworks).
The next day, we celebrated my dad with lunch at my parents' house. My grandparents were also able to join us, which was really nice. We had a good day spending time together and watching a movie together.
Later that week, we went out to dinner with some friends and discussed plans for a fun trip happening in the near future.
The next day, Josh and I went to a fundraiser event for a board he is on for a local ministry. It was one of the hottest days we've had this year, and the event happened to be outside, but thankfully we were able to hang out in the shade.
The next afternoon, I had a coffee date with L.B. It was so nice to be able to spend that time with her.
The following day, K.M. and I went and helped a friend make centerpieces for her upcoming wedding. After that, we went out to dinner with some of our other friends and played games after. It was a really good night.
And we finished off the month with having K.W. and S.W. over with their little one for dinner and PLL.
Other things that happened this month:
I chatted with my BCBs about The Girl on the Train. Crazy book, but it was a good mystery! I read the whole thing in a day and my brain felt so fried afterward. We also read Looking for Alaska, which I enjoyed quite a bit. It was definitely a bit on the sad side, though.
Church has been really good lately and we had an awesome guest speaker in the middle of the month. My Bible study has also been going great. We are just over halfway done with our study of Gideon and it's brought up some great discussions in our group.
And that's a wrap!
