June is a busy month for me this year! First up, is a trip to Orlando with my friend Liz to attend the 2025 National Conference for Surgical Technology.

We started this month with a wildfire in Boiling Springs Lake which is only about 7 miles from us. It burned around 1500 acres and luckily no homes were harmed!

This weekend I flew to Fort Myers, Florida with 5 of my friends. We found nonstop flights from Wilmington to Fort Myers on a budget airline for $70. When I say budget, I mean BUDGET.
