June was a bit nuts in regards to the traveling piece. However, it fits us. We spent most of the school year staying put, and then by June we are ready to head out. The first part of June took us to Nebraska. We had a friend's wedding and a family reunion, with lots of fun in between. As always, we never have enough time in Nebraska to see everyone we want to see. 
When we returned from the family reunion, I was able to go to a national conference in DC and present with a team of awesome colleagues from my school. It was such a great professional experience, and we managed to have a ton of fun too. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to be acknowledge as a crucial team member at my school. It also felt awesome to go present about the great things we are doing, and then get to talk individually with people about how they can implement the same things back at their schools. DC definitely left me wanting more time to go explore, luckily we did take a night tour which allowed us to see many of the sights. Someday Russell and I will take the kids, and make a week of it!
After DC, I did a quick turnaround and flew out to see my bestie Ern. It has been forever since I had been to her neck of the woods. It was so perfect to spend time just with her, floating in the ocean, seeing her puppy and house, and taking in the sights. I soaked up the time with her, and enjoyed being completely present and appreciative that I was able to do this excursion. I was also thankful for Grammy and Russell who took care of the home front while I was out and about. In July/August, Russell will take his time and be gone on three business trips. We also plan to get some mountain time in!
I truly love the summertime!
