summer is upon us...
finally. my favorite season.

all of the following give me that warm, fuzzy, feel-good feeling.

sweet tea. lazy mornings. front porches. back porches. sun tans. sun burns. cold beer. sno-cones. fireflies. sunrises. sunsets. slumber parties. popsicles. holding hands. beach trips. sparklers.  lazy afternoons. sprinklers. lemonade stands. roadtrips. the grove. aloe vera. heat lightning. grilling out. lazy evenings. acoustic concerts. weekends at the lake. ice-cold watermelon. slip-n-slides. tan lines. late nights. firecrackers. honeysuckle. porch swings. bare feet. sandcastles. s'mores. bonfires. afternoon thundershowers. flip flops. kites. pink lemonade. hammocks. mason jars. picnics. lanterns. june brides. wildflowers. fresh-cut grass. summer loving. carefree days. happiness.

Skydiving is amazing. You'll love it. And, it's one of those great experiences that pop up in conversations and you get say, "oh, skydiving? I've done that. No biggie." And people are like "whoa." Have so much fun!
