this june...

It's June! Summer. Evening sun. Friends on the weekends. Patios. There's this quote by {none other than} Winnie-the-Pooh that perfectly sums up for me this feeling...

\\ "Well," said Pooh, "what I like best...." and then he had to stop and think. Because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment in which just before you begun to eat, which was better than the eating itself... but he didn't know what it was called. //

People, that's called the beginning. That anticipation of what's to come and what has already begun is an amazing feeling. 

Take, for example, Jared heading to Phoenix to visit an amazing friend in his new journey down there. Then embarking to Florida for a favorite Sports Information Director conference {with his brother this time!} and having a blast. Runnin' a race, and leaving the day he gets back for "man camp" weekend with the boys. Getting rained on and coming back a day early without telling their wives {ahem}. Golfing. Sleeping in {a little bit}. That's what the beginning of summer looks like. 

Girls weekend. Sleepovers like 12 year olds in the living room. Thunderstorms. Happy flowers. Patios and sunshine to kick off weekends. Brunch. Gilmore girls marathons. Earl Grey lavender tea. Smoothies. Peaches + cherries. Weekends in Rochester for a wedding staying with friends. Rhubarb, rhubarb shakes, rhubarb ...... mmmm Summer.

And coming up super soon... we leave for Cali! Jared and I couldn't be more excited to get away. It's been an awesome month - very busy, a decent amount of time apart - so getting out of town TOGETHER is looking pretty good right now. :)
