The June Highlight Reel June 21, 2026

This will be a highlight reel of the many, many celebrations and activities we’ve been a part of recently. Remember that highlight reels are the “highs” of life. They are not the full picture. Not pictured in this post are the headaches, light sunburns, bug bites, seasonal allergy attacks, broken AC, or canceled plans. Nothing too major; just the normal stuff of life. I often focus on the positive moments in this blog. I love sharing our adventures and I would like this blog to be an encouraging place. The internet has enough negativity; I don’t want to add to it. (I also value being authentic in my writing, so it’s definitely a balance!) God is good! We have a very good life. But, in case you ever wonder, we have bad days and hard moments, just like the rest of humanity. If we don’t have the lows, the highs wouldn’t be as amazing. Okay, now that I have the fine print out of the way, I hope you enjoy our highlight reel!

Also Not Pictured: our yummy Chinese food from a favorite restaurant, the many variations of pizza we ate over last weekend, the multiple house tours we gave to collogues and out-of-state family members, the two full carts we checked out with at Costco, the number of greeting cards we signed, chatting at the dining table with a good friend, various games played, making smores in the backyard, and all the changes of clothes I packed for our adventures (just in case we needed them)! It’s been a full couple of weeks. June was definitely a month about people. We’ve had so many meals, celebrations, and adventures with oodles of friends and family. We are super thankful to do life alongside such a wonderful community!

The Scott brothers did a fantastic job throwing their parents a 50th wedding anniversary party! The room was filled with hundreds of photos from over the decades. Everywhere you looked was a testimony to the legacy of love Bill & Debbie have built for this family.
Super proud of both boys for performing a few piano pieces they’ve learned with Nana to honor her.
So many pictures all around the room!

Spent the “work” day with Jeremy and the Bethel staff at the Mariner’s game on Thursday! It had been over a decade since I’d been to a game. It was a lot of fun and the Mariners won. Good times!
Going to the ballpark is all about the food… oh wait… I mean baseball… Nope… I mean the food!
