Everything is reminding me of summer, lately. Blame it on my tired school brain or the fact that this is the busiest and most exciting summer of my life, but I've been ready for summer since the beginning of May. Over here, we've been going barefoot for weeks, and the first campfire was enjoyed - complete with s'mores. Plans have been made for the first trip to the lake cottage. I'm flying by myself for the first time. Friendships will be strengthened and more friends made. The garden is planted. Shorts and bathing suits have been purchased.
After three finals and five classes on Monday, this summer will be mine. A job, photography sessions, gardening, traveling, lake house weekends. It's all on the very v e r y close horizon. And every time I think about it, I am overwhelmed with excitement, happiness and thankfulness.
Every thing has lined up perfectly so that these months are a perfect balance of fun, work, and fellowship. It's going to be a good few months.
I am kind of in love with the first picture... super bokeh-y! :)
ReplyDeleteyour summer sounds exciting! I can't wait for summer either... I'm going to Italy as soon as school gets out and I've been counting down the days since September!

ReplyDeleteI'm leaving the country for the first time! I'm going to England for a mission trip. That's really the only thing I have planned for summer besides swimming. Lovely photos by the way! :)

ReplyDeleteHey Olivia, I asked you before about how you take selfies, and I have one more photography question. What photo editor do you use/do you use one? Which ones would you recommend or think would be good?
