Before I start talking about my favorite summer moment I just have to say congratulations to….
Lindsay Otis!!!!!!!
For winning the 1st day back giveaway from last Monday!! Yay! Shoot me an e-mail, Lindsay. And everyone else…thank you for entering the giveaway 🙂
It’s officially the last day of the summer months and to be honest i’m not mad about it. There were a lot of favorite moments this summer, so i’m just going to highlight everything because I just want to remember it all and I couldn’t pick a favorite one anyways 🙂
May
Dad took me to Boston to see our Sox play the Yanks at Fenway. BEST way to start summer.
Emily and Tyler came home. Tyler brought his roommate and the 4 of us were together basically all week.
Emily and I celebrated our siblings at their senior day.
Reeana and I went hiking over Memorial Day weekend.
I celebrated my sweet friend, Valley getting engaged at her Bachelorette party.
I took my dad and brothers to a Rangers/Red Sox game in Arlington and met Shay there! 🙂
June
Morgan graduated high school and Ry graduated middle school.
Valley and Trent got married and had such a beautiful wedding!
Multiple Tuesdays were spent having $2.00 margaritas accompanied by chips and salsa with Emily.
I took two summer classes. (I shouldn’t have added this one 😉 I wouldn’t mind not remembering this).
And I did a 10 day sugar detox with the co-hosts of the Today Show and made some healthy recipes while I was at it.
July
I spent as much time with Morgan as I could. Even if she was sleeping while driving.
Ryan celebrated his 14th birthday at Dave and Busters.
Emily and I had a delicious margarita on the fourth with Tyler.
Em Jowers and Carli drove to Dallas to meet me for lunch one day. So happy to see them after months of not seeing them.
And we spent a couple weeks in Iowa just tipping back bottles of Vodka 😉 (it was a joke), four-wheeling out on the farm, playing with puppies at my aunt and uncle’s dog farm, and playing with my little Tommy.
August
Rick turned 16 and got his license.
I bought out the entire frozen coffee section at Kroger 😉
And we surprised Morgan before her first game as a collegiate athlete.
…all before driving back on campus since April.
I’m pretty bummed about school starting but i’m almost done and fun things are going to be happening in the next couple months. Here’s to a great summer and a great fall coming!!

I love that picture of you at the wedding! You look stunning and I love that dress on you! It looks like you had a full and fantastic summer! Isn’t is crazy to look back and see all that you did in just 3 or so months? I hope the fun only continues for you into fall! Silly question but I want to know what your favorite pens are that you included in your giveaway. As a therapist, I write ALOT and love finding good pens 😉

Oh my gosh, thank you so much. That just makes me smile 🙂 It is crazy because I feel like i’m going to blink and it will be time for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not a silly question…they are called Staedtler triplus fineliner and I love them…they are the only pens that I use that are dark enough for the scanner at work to read. And they are thick but still thin and don’t bleed through when I write in my calendar. Here’s the link to find them…I usually get them at Target! Hope that helps! http://goto.target.com/c/106331/81938/2092?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fstaedtler-10ct-black-fine-tip-felt-tip-marker-pen%2F-%2FA-14790209%23prodSlot%3D_1_40
