Jet Skis, Boat Rides, Suntans, and Cookouts... I LOVE Summer!!!!

Now please, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Fall is and will always be my favorite season. There's something about the leaves changing color, the crisp air when you go outside, and all of the harvest smells that just makes me tingle all over. I feel right at home. - This is why we are getting married in October.

That being said, I haven't always been a big fan of summer. **GASP** Don't freak out. I know I'm weird for it. It always just seemed entirely too hot, I never have a good hair day, and the thought of putting myself in a bathing suit each year gives me a nauseous feeling, and then I become a bit depressed that I wasn't blessed with the metabolism of Heidi Klum or Adriana Lima.

However, over the last couple of years, I have to admit that my summers have been pretty fabulous! I guess I started to realize all of the great things that have to do with Summer. Here, I'll name a few:
~ I can wear white linen pants any day I want to
~ I don't have to scrape ice off of my windshield on my way out the door in the mornings
~ We get to go out on the lake just about every/ every other weekend
~ We get to have cookouts
~ Frappuccinos - need I say more on this one?
~ Big eyed sunglasses
~ It takes us right on into Fall
~ Turquoise jewelry
~ I get a fabulous suntan that makes me not look so sickly pale
~ We do things outside. We're not cooped up inside all the time
~ Flip flops, sandals, shorts, tank tops, etc..
~ ** This one is my favorite*** SUN DRESSES - don't know why, but there is something so wonderful about a sun dress. I feel like I'm wearing a night gown out of the house!

All of these things make me smile every time I think about them. Summer is still no Fall in my book, but it is definitely a close second.

Ahhhhh.... now that's the stuff!
