Good AJ's first sleepover. AJ stayed the night with his grammy. They were both excited the whole week leading up to it. He had a really great time. They went to Thanksgiving Point for their summer fair. My mom sent lots of photos.  My first book club. It wasn't a great book, and we talked about lots of things besides the book, but it was still pretty fun. Just four of us total, which I actually think was good! I didn't know any of them but felt totally comfortable. I'm excited for more book club interactions. Garden. Bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, broccoli all thriving. Cucumber has yet to fully grow fruit. It probably needs more water. We've had sauteed broccoli and grilled zucchini from the garden, and both were SO good. Blackberries are coming in hot as well, which we didn't plant. So that's fun.  Neighbors. Our neighbors really helped us out when our fridge went out (see below). Lois still has some of our food in her freezer. Greg let us use his dolly...

6/1 I went back to the gym for the first time since before surgery. I didn't go too crazy. I had new hire orientation at work with a quiet group which is kind of challenging. I picked up AJ from daycare at Katie's, as she's our backup daycare this week. AJ was SO happy after being at her house. After dinner we gave AJ a bath and did bed time.  6/2 I didn't get up for a workout. I've been waking up so sleepy. Work was kind of busy--a 1:1 and some ESL meetings with managers. I picked up AJ, and we had dinner at Hire's. We went to Hogle Zoo for the Sunset Safari. We left about 7:45 as we never know how AJ will do when it gets late. We did bed time.  6/3 I slept in for the gym but got up to do a work out in the basement. Work was fun as we went to Disrupt HR in Lehi, an event our CHRO puts on. It's a fun time. I picked up AJ and made shrimp Alfredo and veggies for dinner. We spent some time outside, and did bath and bed time. AJ was very sweet and loving, saying...

5/1 I went on a run. After working a half day, I drove down to Provo for my pre-op appointment. I went to Costco and got a four pack of plants - strawberry (1), bell peppers, chamomile, and zucchini. I started some laundry and cleaning. I got a hair cut at Cameo College. I picked up AJ who was very dysregulated. Matthew made dinner for us. We jumped on the trampoline and did bed time. 5/2 I went to the gym in the morning. Then I worked my tail off in the yard finishing tearing out the weeds. We went to the Milkshake Factory for their grand opening. We stopped at Walmart to get some plants. I got three kinds of tomatoes, a strawberry plant (2), marigolds, a broccoli plant, and lots of seeds. We also bought a blueberry plant, and a honeysuckle plant. I got everything but the blueberries and honeysuckle into the ground that evening.  5/3 we went to breakfast at Penny Ann's since we had a BOGO. Then we went to Kuwahara's for some plants, and stopped at Megaplex for fresh popcorn. I...
