Here’s the clichéd phrase that my summer just flew by. But it really did. And honestly I’m okay with that. I like summer and all it entails: beach days, flip-flops, iced coffee, and everything else. But I love fall and sweaters and scarves. So I’m excited for fall. But I digress. I wanted to celebrate my last summer as a student with some of my favorite memories, in no particular order.
1. Beach days with my friends. I didn’t go on very many beach days, but the few I did were so relaxing and sunny…and just perfect. And included ice cream of course.
2. My family road trip to Wisconsin. Having a few days off to chill with my parents and nieces was amazing
3. Going on a mission trip to North Carolina, building wheelchair ramps, tearing off shingles, illegal swimming…
4. Going to Mackinac Island with my friends that live so far away, taking old-fashioned, scandalous pictures, star-tipping…
5. Roadtripping with my bestie to hear amazing Irish music:)
6. Walking the pier at Grand Haven complete with giant waves that splash you when you’re least expecting it.
7. Hanging out with my favorite boys which includes wrestling matches to see who can beat me up, reading favorite stories, and them asking me a million questions about everything. 🙂
8. 4th of July celebrations. Attempting to light off fireworks while they went whizzing dangerously over our heads (unfortunately I don’t have a picture to remember this)
9. My family and I spent a week at a cottage on Lake Michigan and it was beautiful and relaxing, as it was supposed to be, complete with sand castles, good food, laughing, sunsets and so much more.
Oh and my nephew and niece were determined to catch a seagull 🙂
This summer was pretty great and filled with so many amazing memories. This was just a few of them. So here’s to one more year of school and then freedom!!
