Summer is FLYING by faster than I thought it would and way faster than I would like it to. I know it's not even July yet, but it is the end of June which means that nearly 1 whole month is gone. We have already had an awesome summer, and it's really only been 3 weeks! The first week was the week of the wedding. Does that even count as a week of summer???? I'd prefer to not ever re-live the craziness of that week, but I do have to say we handled it like champs and with minimal Bridezilla moments. Thank you, color-coded checklist and schedule! Week 2 was wedding recovery. So many things to put away and organize. {Which, by the way, I'm still not done with...oops!} Not to mention an incredible amount of sleep to catch up on. So really, this is the first week of my vacation and it's already almost July! Point proven that summer is going by WAY too fast!
So, our 5 greatest moments this summer (so far).
1. Our wedding. Of course it was number 1 - I don't think this one needs much more explanation. We'll share links to more photos and videos once we have them.
2. Our very last minute mini-moon. We still have high hopes of making it to Hawaii for an actual honeymoon sometime in the next year-ish, but for now the Wisconsin Dells had to do. I think it was Wednesday when we decided that we needed a getaway and it was 20 minutes later when we realized that if we didn't go this past weekend we wouldn't get to go until August. That's not even an exaggeration. So, to the Dells we went! It was the most planning I could handle in the shortest amount of time. But, we were determined to make it awesome and awesome it was. Shopping, dinner, and massages! And, the cutest baby tiger cubs in the hotel lobby!
3. Nightly porch time. We made it our goal to spend time each night together hanging out on the porch. It sounds lame, but it's the only time we get to spend away from the rest of the word. Otherwise we're in front of a TV surrounded by phones, computers, homework, and not actually interacting with one another. This way we get to relax and have meaningful conversations. And laugh at the dog barking at fireflies.
4. Paul's school schedule. I don't think many people realize how much time PT school demands of him...and us. I know I've mentioned it before, but he totally impresses me with the amount of time he dedicates to school and how he's stuck with it. I would have quit a LONG time ago if it were me. In fact, I've threatened to quit many times and I'm not even the one in school. BUT he attended his very LAST first day of school last week. Luckily their summer class schedule is pretty sweet. Home by noon Mon-Wed, and no class (for now) on Thursday and Friday. We can handle that! It's even better knowing we're this close to graduation in May!
5. Naps. Afternoon naps, morning naps, evening naps....naps whenever I want. With or without the dog sprawled out next to me. It's pretty awesome to get all of the extra snuggle time.
We're looking forward to many more top 5's as the summer goes on and can't wait to share them with all of you!
