July, Prep Time and Vacation

July is when I'm neck-deep in stuff at work. July is when I submit my speaker proposals for the HOW Conference. July, this past year is when we went on a 9-day road trip. The best part? Well, ok, there were loads of best parts, but I'll save the bestest best part for last. We drove to California via the southern route, kinda Route-66 style. Spent a day in Monterey, a day exploring the giant sequoia trees up in the mountains, part of a day at the west rim of the Grand Canyon. Saw an old friend and visited my old high school grounds. But the best part? Introducing my kids to my favorite aunt and uncle. They were the normal family in my abnormal childhood. And they know how to love! I can't wait to see them again soon and, thankfully, my kids feel the same way.

Thanks for reading,
Cami
