Well I did it. I think I can safely say that I savored summer until the very end which is officially tomorrow. I haven’t put out one fall decoration and I have restrained from tasting all things pumpkin. I know summer is my favorite season but I truly think this has been one of the best summers. We’ve made a lot of memories, did a lot of dreaming and I dare say I might have even done some growing :-)
So what did this summer hold - lots of pool time, crafting (painting, sewing, and stitching), memorizing Psalm 16 with my summer stitching club, reading of course, a trip to DC, spending time with old friends on the 4th, time at the Cape x 2, puzzles, baking all things sourdough, meeting my favorite podcaster Annie F. Downs, seeing LeAnne Morgans comedy show in person, and let us not forget learning to play Mahjong!
As I looked through my pictures over the summer the majority of them came from time at the Cape. It’s no secret I LOVE the beach but that place in particular well as I have said before it just feels like home. We did take a trip to Hilton Head in late May/Early June but that is not technically officially summer. I really believe we need to change these official summer start and summer end dates but no one is really asking me. Here are a few of my favorite summer moments with the indulgent SC trip photo!
Not officially a summer pic - but a cute beach one with my prince of a human at the beach :-)
Took this cutie to DC for a specialist appointment and she was just so happy to have her IPad with her. She thought she had forgotten it and let me tell you and you will just have to believe me when I say that that was a whole moment in itself….
This year at the Cape we had the amazing privilege of watching a mama sea turtle lay her eggs and then head back to sea!
This poor dog - she puts up with so much. We sure do love our Bailey boo!
My girl doing her thang -collecting every seashell possible on the shore!
Y’all it is soo rare that we are all riding in the same car together now that all these people (minus the cutie cakes) drive! This was such a super little fun outing complete with those boys making fun of me every chance they could get and I will forever treasure it in my heart. Hands down a favorite picture/memory of mine from the summer
THIS VIEW!! I am typically a sunrise girl because I love to get up and get going in the morning but those Cape sunsets…. Y’ALL!!!
Yes I 1000% was a fangirl the night I got to meet Annie - she is my friend and funny enough she would say the same thing - I just love her to pieces and LOVE that she is always pointing me and countless others to Jesus!
My Psalm 16 project. I loved this so much. Two of my dear friends stitched this same pattern with me and we memorized Psalm 16 together. It really was the sweetest. (Confession - I would often stitch on Sunday afternoons while watching reruns of Greys Anatomy .. just keeping it real over here lest you think I am all good)
Yes this is my new favorite game. Yes I will play with you any day of the week, multiple times a day.
And quite possibly my favorite photo to end the summer - this was the best of both worlds colliding - college football and the beach - need I say more … but yes, yes I did straight up watch the GA/UT game on the beach. And yes when they won in overtime during that gorgeous sunset no less I might have gotten slightly loud on the beach.
WHAT A SUMMER!
This summer season has been infinitely sweet to me. What a gift! God is soo soo good to me but HE is also kind and I felt every bit of HIS kindness this summer.
