Do you know what I love about summer?

I love tangled, colorful gardens full of veggies and zinnias.

I love celebrating birthdays.

I love catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.

I love journaling every other day, whether my words are eloquent or not.

I love shooting in film and being able to remember every single frame I shot.

I love long road trips and watching Kansas pass by my window, listening to Relient K and dreaming like crazy.

I love camping trips and the mountains and the way the stars look up there.

I love chasing my goals and dreams and making them happen.

I love hanging out with my favorite baby boy and watching him giggle and grin.

I love froyo dates with friends and reading junior high letters and laughing so loud that everyone stares at us.

I love adventuring to our secret tree, tromping through waist-high grass, talking about God, and eating biscuit cookies. (I’ve got about six dozen battle scars from this particular adventure… I must’ve been sitting in a tick nest or something.)

I love taking nighttime adventures to the City, telling random stories, listening to new music, and sometimes to the silence.

I love watching old shows and reading children’s books and escaping to the back porch and making memories.
