Ethan left in the beginning of the month.
Our family had scheduled Dad’s birthday celebration by doing a family trip in San Saba for the weekend. Where is that? No clue. We literally looked all around to find a place that worked for us. Personal pool was a must!
June and I did not end up going so we celebrated Dad’s birthday a day early before they all left for the trip. Ethan helped me decorate. Ugh, such a cutie pie.
June and I didn’t go because she had just gotten her port put in and her first round of chemo. She didn’t ask anyone to stay back, or tell us to cancel the trip and knowing her, she’d hate if we did so I opted to stay back.
I took off work for her port insertion day and her first round of chemo. During her port insertion day, there was a gift shop selling jewelry and other things so I walked around during her surgery and bought some earrings, a romper and a tweezer.
The location where she was getting all this done was at the hospital she worked at during COVID. She had told one of her old coworkers to maker her treatment since she trusted him.
And during her first round of chemo, I just talked to her as much as I could. We even brought Krispy Kreme donuts to her secondary pharmacy where she worked during COVID. She got to choose who made her treatment and it was nice seeing people pop in and out to say hi to her. We were even able to video chat with the kids since Dad was up there with them so time passed by fairly quickly.
She had two additional rounds of chemo this month. Prior to showing up for her labs before chemo, we would sometimes grab food and drinks. Thankful for my manager for understanding and letting me work from the hospital.
It was pretty easy in the beginning but started to get a little rough the next couple.

Frankenstein got free tickets from one of his coworkers. Dang good seats too. He brought his camera and we stuffed our faces with Shake Shack. The pics are taken from him. Such detail. He had a good one with their arm all funky.

Blood donations with Mallory. We got free towels. I also came home with cookies for winning a baby shower game through online.
June 11, 2022
Mallory and I threw Beth an ice cream baby shower. We had games and a whole lot of diabetes (cookies and ice cream). I made the poofs look like mini ice cream sundaes with a shower gel on the side as party favours. I’m so late at posting that Caden is already born.
That night I went home and built my bed frame. Loving it so far! So does Rizzo. He wouldn’t leave. I guess he likes this more than sleeping on the floor.

They needed an extra for Bunco at Mallory & Beth’s neighborhood. I won $20! I do love this neighborhood. They have so many things going on. Sadly at the moment, it’s too far away (and getting too expensive to move there).

Frankenstein was on my side of town for his internship class so he decided to make time for me by literally waiting over an hour at Memorial City Mall while I finished up working, got ready, and drove over there.
We walked around a bit and I bought puzzles because SALE!
Then headed to Mikoto for dinner. All you can eat. We laughed so hard at his two little flavoured sashimi compared to the regular sashimi. Can you find it?

Since Frankenstein’s Aunt and Uncle had a surprise vow renewal this weekend, I went over a night early to have a little date night. He was stuck at work when I got there so I walked around Bravo, a party store nearby, and then headed to his place.
This is the first time Artemis was so loving (because Frankenstein wasn’t around!). She even laid next to me in bed while I realxed.
Once he got home, we went and watched Top Gun Maverick at Star Cinema Grill. We ordered ALL the foods and a giant pitcher of sangria. It was our first theater movie and he even got the whole experience where I cried pretty much non-stop through the movie. So much feels. I’ve watched it a second time since and it’s still just as great.
We played some games at Dave & Buster’s nearby and had the funniest experience taking pictures because it was SO horribly executed. When we were walking back to the car, I accidentally dropped it and his response was “just leave it” because they were so bad. But I loved it because the memory is too hilarious not to.
June 25, 2022
We ordered The Flame Tacos for breakfast/lunch and later got ready for the vow renewal at Poretto Beach. We met others at the Tremont Hotel for the bus ride to the beach and my goodness … it was SO gorgeous. We spent a lot of our time afterward at their rooftop after having some finger foods at the reception hall.

I took Emmy & Ethan to their first Chuck E. Cheese experience. Ethan was scared of the mouse but overall they loved it and asked if they could go back again. They also ate more pizza than I thought they would! Not having kids, and maybe never having kids but having this experience made it feel like I did for a split second. Great memories I’ll remember forever.
We had many adventures together like making crystals, eating ice creams, bath bomb surprises, and more. These two are so fun and I always wish they would move closer.
Some puzzles I finished this month. Manhattan Skyline, We Bare Bears Vacation Car, Majestic Cafe, Friends The Experience, Pickler’s Haul. I might have made some of these names up but the Majestic Cafe is the most pieces I’ve done … 2000 in two days isn’t too bad.
