What a July it’s been! Let’s keep it short and sweet, shall we?
Week 1: The first 4th of July holiday spent away from the Northwoods, we stayed in Seattle and celebrated the holiday with friends. A boat ride, paddleboarding, a parade and a few firecrackers and sparklers in the backyard after grilled chicken and a nose bleed.
Week 2: My mom got sick, had surgery for a ruptured appendix and spent a week in the hospital. We flew back to Wisconsin a day early to bring some love to her and enjoyed time with my sister and her family as well. My mom is doing great and we’re so thankful for all of the thoughts and prayers from friends across the world.
Week 2, Part II: We visited Mike’s family in Minocqua, went to a party, lived on a boat and had dinner on an island in the middle of Lake Tomahawk. The temp didn’t drop below 85. We got sunburned. We loved it, despite the worst flight home in the history of flights (picture a certain one and a half year old overtired and…overtired)
Week 3: A business trip to Chicago began with a great visit with the Shah family and their newborn baby girl, Naya followed by a Cubs game and an unexpected visit with old friends from Milwaukee and Chicago on a rooftop across from Wrigley Field. A pleasant trip overall despite another very awful flight home due to a 7 hour delay.
2 visits to the Midwest in the course of 2 weeks has me homesick and nostalgic.
I wonder what the remainder of the month will bring?
