July was a huge adventure for us. The fourth was the first anniversary of my sisters death, so we wanted to be with family in Arizona. We spent the day slip and sliding, barbecuing, and watching fireworks. We also visited Bekah’s grave site and took her roses. It was a wonderful day full of fun, the way she would have wanted it. After the fourth, we were able to relax a little. We spent a few more days in Mesa, hanging out with my family. I spent one day shopping with my sisters. We just relaxed and talked and had a great time. After a few days in Mesa, we went camping with Jeff’s family at Black River near St. John’s. We spent more time relaxing and talking. Jeff took the kids fishing and almost everyone caught a fish. It rained, on and off, almost the whole time, but not so hard that we couldn’t enjoy ourselves. On the last morning the sun came out long enough for us to take down the tents and pack up the cars. Once we got all loaded up to go home, the rain really started. We were grateful that it waited until we were in the car and on our way out before the sheets came down. Overall, we had a great week with family and have lots of memories to look back on.
