It is officially summer. I am officially a quarter of a century old. This baby is officially occupying a majority of my abdominal region and just won't quit it.
Summer is a lot different as an adult. And by different, I obviously just mean no three month summer breaks from work. I remember when life was so hard as a kid, and now every year older I get, I realize life was just so sweet before high-school ended. Don't get me wrong, I love getting older and all the growth that comes with that. I wouldn't go back. But oh, to live without responsibility for just 1 more year...or even just like, 1 week would do.
This is my last childless summer, so I am savoring the time to (mostly) myself, enjoying the last couple months before my schedule will no long be wide open: blueberry picking*, yard work, day trips with dear friends, outdoor movies, solo pool time, impromptu outings with Kevin, going to Target by myself... You know, the finer things in life.
I hear children make things much more fun, getting to explore the world through their perspective. I know that comes with its share of trials, but we are trying to welcome it the best we can.
I'm confident every summer will just keep getting sweeter and sweeter from here on out.
*I cannot recommend Thunderbird Berry Farm enough. I have been twice this month for blueberries, and I plan to go back in July for their raspberries and blackberries. You just can't beat $ 3.00 a pound!
