Facts about Summer

Where to start, where to start. This summer has FLOWN by.. too fast for comfort. It's sad to say that I am going to school this summer - that is a main reason why my favorite season has felt like it has ceased to exist. Dah! But, I am now 1 year done, 1 more year to graduate with my Masters in School Counseling degree! (This is where angels sing and Johnny Depp winks at me). It's all coming together. I am learning so much material, and I truly am excited for my future. New beginnings are always unsteady and full of discombobulation, but they are necessary and gratifying. 

Awesome is as awesome does. Summer is as summer does. 

School is as school does. 

( I could go on and on and on)

Summer Fact #1: 

Summer + me = FREE stuff. 

It's safe to say that I love free stuff. 

Especially if they come in slurpee form. Thank you July 11. Thank you for existing.

Summer Fact #2:

I love camping!

Camping got a little crazy this year... due to the crrrrr-azy weather we have had. 

The skies were blue, the temperature great, and the tent almost set up. 

Then it rained... and continued to rain. After we were cold and soaked,  our fire ruined and a possible broken tent, we were tempted to leave. But then, out of nowhere, the blue sky appeared, the fire roared up flames (so we could cook our tinfoil dinners) and the zipper on the tent felt like working, we STAYED.

Fact #3

Bottle me up some of that water.

I love water... oceans, lakes, ponds, rivers, dams, puddles, you name it.

I could retire on the beach somewhere and just listen to the calming ripples of the water.

Can I get an AMEN, please!? 

Summer Fact #4

Wishing farewells and good cheer.

Saying goodbye to the cute Ferney family,

who is moving to China for 2 years! I will miss you guys! 

I love Asia, and secretly wish I was the one going...

Summer Fact #5

Sisters are awesome! 

Those days not devoted to work or school is spent 

hanging out with my Meems and her little button, Harper.

Summer Fact #6

Young at Heart.

I find acting rather silly keeps my attitude fresh and my spirit bright.

Rolling down the hill at Liberty Park is and always will be A MUST.

Young at heart also includes gathering with old friends and explore new surroundings.

Summer Fact #7

Love trees with friends

Trees are nature's way of saying, "Thank you" to humans.

Trees are practically begging kids and adults to climb them.

And... climbing trees with friends is the summer way to do it.

Summer Fact #8

Red. Vines.

The. End.

Due to brevity: 

I love summer because I can bask in the warm sun, get tan, cool down with an ice cold glass of water, listen to music with my windows rolled down, sleep outside and stare at the stars and relish in adagio breezes wafting of charcoal and propane.... awe, so nice.
