As this weekend comes to an end, so does the official "end" of summer.
All schools will be back in session after Monday, whether it's their first day (at my town) or classes are resuming after a nice long weekend.
I would just like to take this moment to reflect and thank Summer 2016 for an awesome summer with so many memories.
Starting right out of my freshman year of college, a week later I was on a plane overseas to Spain for 10 days. That in itself provided many amazing opportunities, memories, and new friends. Then there was work, which may not always have been fun, but money is money. Another amazing vacation with the family to Disney World and Universal. Being around my family is never dull so a week and a half together plus other Disney friends made for another great vacation together. There were the many adventures through town and parts of New York while also playing Pokemon Go. Last minute trips to DQ/game nights with friends/bonfires. . . you name it, being with friends and family is all a girl needs in life.
And if all that wasn't enough, this past weekend I had the pleasure of taking one last little vacation with my parents despite school having started 2 weeks ago. My high school football team traveled to Florida for their first football game of the season and I was lucky enough (and free) to be able to travel with my parents and be able to go and support my little brother and my high school. We may have lost the game, but to be in Florida, walking on beaches in the beginning of September . . . nothing can really describe or beat that feeling.
So once again, I don't thank Summer 2016 all that much, but I want to thank all of my amazing friends and family who joined me on my various adventures throughout the summer and making it one of the best ones yet. Next is an amazing school year!
