I’ll admit, watching the calendar flip to June sparked a bunch of different feelings for me. Our June is usually full of exciting events, celebrations, and vacations. It has always been a go-go-go type of month, one that’s equally exhausting and exhilarating but one that truly fills my soul. So when I looked at our largely blank month ahead, I was dishearted.

Even so, there are joyful things ahead this month that I am trying to keep my focus on. My 27th birthday is this week, Jody and I will be celebrating our 3rd Wedding anniversary later this month, summer officially begins, and our state has begun reopening. We are hopeful of being able to see our friends and family and enjoy outdoor activities – things we will never take for granted again!! As I look toward my goals for this month, my overarching goal is to savor the days of summer and to make the most of my time during my favorite month of the year!
