So... It is quite obvious that I have been lacking in my blogging! It's almost been 3 months! Geez... that means that my sweet little niece is almost 3 months old, which is clearly NOT OK!
- School got out June 10th, gonna miss Team Baker.. but hoping for another wonderful group of children & parents
- I chaperoned a group of 4th-6th graders on a church camp, PassportKids in Wingate, NC for a few days
- JB & I had a "see you later" dinner with our good friend, Jen(nifer) haha... as she was about to move to Kansas. This was my first hard goodbye because of the Army, but I am SURE it won't be the last.
- JB & I went to Florida & Puerto Rico to visit the other Bakers! (another post for this!)
- The podiatrist figured out what is wrong with my feet... basically a bone is too long in both feet, causing overall foot pains/aches and specific joint pain. EW.
- JB & I took my dad on Fayetteville's own, ZipQuest Zip-lining and Water Falls, for his Father's Day gift!
- I took the position as being a CO-leader for our Battalion's FRG (Family Readiness Group)
- I worked the VIP tent with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, meeting John, Paulie, owners of Blue Ridge Cabin (who provided the home), and even getting to shoot a scene acting with Sabrina Soto from HGTV! She is the newest member of the EHM design team. Hopefully that scene will make the cut for the October episode!!
- Spent 10 days at N. Myrtle Beach with family, with JB making it for one weekend when he got out of the field
- And this week, I started to get my classroom in order, got a much-needed pedicure, had lunch with my co-leader to discuss FRG stuff, did my FRG training last night, and had another podiatrist appointment in which I got my first cortisone injection in my foot... hoping for some relief so surgery won't be needed for a LONG time!!
Here are a few snapshots from our summer :)
