Summer. Sweet, sweet summer. I need to write a complete ode to you. I want to kiss your face off. Show you public displays of affection. Put my hand in your back pocket while we stroll through the mall. It’s true. I adore you and I want the world to know. Let’s make it official and get airbrushed t-shirts.
Today is our first legit, official day of summer. Harper finished yesterday and this morning we’re doing crazy fun things like…oh, well, nothing. Nothing I tell you. Nothing. And it’s glorious. We’re taking it easy. I didn’t have to get up at 4:30-redonkulous-a.m. to run. There was no packing of any lunches. No rush. No hurry. Just full on chillaxedness. And A) I actually did my devotional this morning and B) with Harper laying in my arm pit. It was nice.
We’ve got nothing serious on our agenda. We may go ride bikes at the park. Or just play at the playground. Who knows. The world is at our finger tips. We just may get super crazy and do both.
I’ve got grilled hamburgers, homemade fries and spinach salsa salad on the menu for dinner. And we may even enjoy a dessert at the ball park while we watch our favorite Full Count guys play some ball.
It’s here. It’s really here. My heart already feels a little lighter. Although our summer is going to be full and big and fun, we just have a more weightless feel to us when we’re in the easy swing of summer. Late nights and late mornings. Swimming and park playing and movie watching and wave pool rocking. Ice cream and cereal for dinner and momentarily cookie making. Tans and pruney toes. Wet hair and flip flops or straight up bare feet. Nothing really too pressing because it feels like we’ve got all the time in the world. Longer, slower days.
Yes, Summer you are my new jam. I think we will get along quite nicely.
Happy Thursday!

Happy Summer!
Spinach Salsa Salad? This sounds interesting…
Which devotional do you use? And tell us more about the spinach salad! I am so excited for summer, too!
Lauren…well I can be kind of fickle so I bounce between or hit up multiples of the following: My utmost for his highest, streams in the desert, Jesus calling and Whispers of hope 10 weeks of devotional prayer. My bedside table is a hot mess 🙂
Spinach Salsa Salad? Yumm-OH! Need recipe!
And where is this awesome park? My grandson must go there with me – STAT!
Cheryl…it’s Peay Park…over by the community center. Way fun.
Oh, I am so jealous! We still have weeks of school left! Enjoy!!!!
I believe you forgot to mention why swimming is so great ….because it means fewer baths!
Awesome, awesome and more awesome! Yes, we love summer too! Lots of fun and nothing all rolled into one fantastic summer! Enjoy every little teeny drop of sunshine!!!
The first paragraph totally cracked me up!!!! Thanks for the giggle today!!!!
