Summer Fling

Dear summer,
Where have you gone? You left in such a hurry. I thought we had something really special, butI guess I was wrong. You snuck out this morning before I woke up. I thought maybe you had gone out to get some donuts, but you still haven't returned. I should have known, what with your warm, beautiful sunsets and the way you made my garden grow. You were too good to be true. You were just a fling.
But we were so good together! The warmth, the brightness, the flip flops! Well, fine. I don't need you anyways. I've got jackets, you know. And blankets and hot cocoa. I even have a snuggy. That's right. A SNUGGY! Those are my true friends. They're always there for me.

But if you ever decide to come back, I'll be here.

once again i am laughing my butt off.. too bad it's not my trampoline of a stomach {as we were discussing yesterday}! you are always so darn funny. i always laugh out loud when i read anything you write!!!! i'm with you one hundred percent. i have had to wear real shoes for the last week {well this is due to the cooler weather and the fact that my toe nails are unpainted, which without getting into too much detail- i don't usually leave the house without them painted}. i even put my flip flops in my closet, which is huge, because they are usually right by the front door- oh well. i do like the crispness in the air. in fact i got a pumpkin spice latte today at starbucks and they have their spiced apple cider now too. here's to keeping warm and embracing the cooler weather! hope you sick kiddo gets to feeling better. jordan was excited about watching your baby wrats!

Thanks Shara. Jantzen and I were super bummed out about having to cancel tonight. We'll be sure to call her next time we need a sitter.
