Summer Nights

Finals are done, the books are put away, daylight lasts longer, and the weather is finally staying warm. Summer is officially here. I absolutely love summer. Yes, the heat can be a bummer sometime but all the other good stuff about summer definitely outweighs that slightly disappointing aspect. I've already been to several open houses so far, and there's plenty more to come! Some of my favorite things about summer are really the more simplistic stuff though. Things like: watermelon, corn on the cob, sand volleyball, swimming, melting ice cream, sprinklers and trampolines, sleeping in, stargazing, late nights out, driving with the windows down and music blasting, the smell of freshly mowed grass, sizzling homemade hamburgers, wading in the creek, endless photos, being outside the whole day, sleeping with the windows open, spending the day at the lake, chasing fireflies, listening to the crickets, spending the days with friends, playing piano for hours upon hours, reading countless books, smoothies, a new swimsuit, picnics, and of course many, many more memories. Of course there will be the working in between, but for the most part my summer is wide open. I love this time of year. The windows are open, there's a gentle breeze blowing, the stars are out, the moon is bright, Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute is playing, and I don't want to go to sleep. I look forward to many more of these nights!
