Looking Back: Summer

It's very bittersweet for me, watching this summer come to an end. To be honest, I didn't really do much, if you are thinking big trips or plans. I guess I just enjoyed living day to day. Embracing that feeling of not being sure what day of the week it is and not quite caring. I have to say though, the amount of nothing on my schedule really allowed me to do a lot of things I needed to do, not just to check them off, but to get a chance to enjoy them. Here's a little list and some photo highlights to close this summer off on a sweet, albeit melancholy, note <3

what I did:
visited my grandparents
watched One Upon a Time with my sister
DREW SO MUCH--finished my art journal and started a new one
read some Rainbow Rowell and Sarah J. Maas
volunteered (a lot)
wrote 100 pages!!!!!!!
texted my friend
wrote to my Pen Pal
blogged
dreamt
saw a shooting star
talked about deep stuff with my small group
listened to Stand by You by Rachel Platten and a lot of Twenty-One Pilots
prayed
snuggled my pups
beached/pooled
enjoyed California sunshine
jammed in the car
I DROVE A CAR GUYS-- got my permit :)
ran
had my friends from NY come to visit
cleaned out my room
rode my bike to the beach

I had so much fun sharing my summer with all of you <3

      Aw thanks! I got it from Michaels-- it used to have a little photo of a tree on the cover but I pulled it off and replaced it with the binoculars haha :)

    Ah, yes, summer is slipping away so fast. This part of the summer is always incredibly bittersweet.

    And is that bubble soccer I see? I've been wanting to try that for forever--it looks like so much fun!

    SO much fun! My summer looked about the same. Minus the permit thing... I'm having to wait another year for that.

    Great post, and ADORABLE DOG!! ♥
