July

I've still got two more days before I completely miss posting in July, so hopefully I finish this tonight.  I have had an incredible month, starting with a trip to Cali to see Grandma and some well-loved family members of mine.

 

Taking the train down.  I think it's the first time it's actually been on time, and we got there early!

 

My "burger" at an awesome place in Roseville where we got to customize everything.

 

It's the attack of the crochet club! This is in front of a yarn shop, and apparently appeared overnight.  Go yarn bombers! :)

 

Mom in front of her favorite roses :)

 

 Fireworks in Sacramento at the mall.  The traffic was so bad Mom and I got out and walked around for a while, but they were pretty :)

 

Ben's awesome "bear den." Berkley is pretty neat, and has awesome food on every corner, but I don't think I could live there.

 

What the start of every meal looked like- "Quick, take a picture!" Haha

 See!  See!

 

What we did on looooong car rides...

 When we weren't being a little crazy ;)

Cute :)

 Really yummy, especially the asparagus.

 A fun visit to Auntie June's :)

 Mmmm

 I want more!!!

 And my latest project (no, I didn't make it, I'm just fixing it)

  Oh, and I don't have any pictures, but my room has a lot more floorspace than it did.  When Mom and Dad (and Lara) were here they helped me move a lot of my stuff over to Monmouth, and then we took apart one of the beds.  It's yet to be seen if I can keep it uncluttered now, but it's been nice to be able to move.  I sure does seem empty around here though :-/

  The Oregon Jamboree is this weekend, so cops and crazy drivers everywhere in this normally sleepy corner of the universe.  I'm not going, but I did some volunteering at the craft fair, and so got to witness some of the madness first hand.  And now preps tomorrow, and Saginaw coming up fast!

 And a couple more:
-smacked myself with a hammer for the first time
-bought a doll house
-tried (and loved) gellatto
-ate a lot of frozen yogurt
-played volleyball in 90+ degree weather
- locked my keys in the truck (and had an awesome conversation with a random stranger while waiting for grandma to rescue me)
- learned to sing alto an octave up
- decided to learn to play the piano
- registered for too many classes (Ahhhh!) haha
- I can't think of anything else

I'll try to update a little more frequently this month, and hopefully even eloquently or something ;)

Happy Mom? Haha
