June has always been a pretty busy month for me. Looking back on my life, many of the major events happened in June. There are the standard June events–high school and college graduation. I also got married in June–hubby and I celebrate our twelfth anniversary at the end of the month. The first house I purchased, we moved into in June, then out of in another June five years later. (To move into the second house we purchased…in June.)

The biggest and most important day in my life also happened in June. I became a mom on June 9, nine years ago, to the most amazing kid on the planet. To celebrate, we’re going to dinner tonight–sushi–my son’s choice. Then tomorrow, I’m taking the kidlet to Disneyland for the day. He doesn’t know about it though–it’s a complete and total surprise. It’s hard to keep anything a secret from him because he’s pretty smart and aware, but I’ve managed to plan the trip without him figuring anything out. My entire family’s attending, as well as my bestest friend Wendy, who’s driving in from San Diego with her son. I remember my parents surprising me with a trip to Disneyland when I was a kid–it’s one of my favorite memories–and I wanted to give my son that special memory as well.

Happy birthday to my beautiful boy. I love you, sunshine. You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and my best, proudest accomplishment.

   Aw, happy birthday! I’ve got a June birthday boy, too, though it’s a little later in the month and he’s a little older.
