(these are a few of my favorite things)

I’ve decided that July is my favorite month of the year (sorry, October). With family reunions, lake days, and camping with an almost 4 month old, this past July in particular has felt like a 31-day-long holiday. As the celebration comes to a close, I want to pay tribute to the good things I experienced. There are so many things to be thankful for. Here are some of them:

• Gas stations in the middle of nowhere.

• Sweatshirts that smell like campfire smoke.

• Loud country music.

• Sandal tan-lines.

• The smell of sunscreen.

• Juicy, flavorful watermelons.

• Dirty shoes.

• Home projects. 

• That book I can’t stop thinking about.

• All-day hikes.

• Sunsets in the grocery store parking lot.

• Winning Settlers of Catan fair and square, Corbin.

May your summer be full of your favorite things too.

Thanks for reading!
