Dear Summer 2015,

I hope you are doing well; I am extremely excited to meet you! I have spent all year thinking about the memories we will make. I know that you will be here before I know it, but when you come there are a few things that I would like for you to bring:

1. Friendship: I hope you bring the opportunity to make new friends, and the blessing of keeping old ones. I hope that the time we share will be ample and sweet.
2. Family Time: I hope that you will bring time for my family to share together. I hope that we are able to bond and grow as people together.
3. Adventure: I would love for you to bring adventure! I hope that I can try new things, explore new places, and make new memories.
4. Love and Laughter: Above all else, please do not forget the love and laughter. I hope that you bring a smile for everyone. Please fill our hearts with love and our ears with the sounds of giggles.

Thank you so much, Summer, for everything that you are going to bring. I can promise you a few things, too:

1. To smile on the sunny days: I promise to take advantage of the sun and the good weather! I promise to play outside and to appreciate the blessing of the sunset.
2. To smile on the rainy days: I promise to listen to the thunderstorms and awe at our earth. I promise to play in the rain and love every second!
3. Acknowledgement: I promise to take the time and realize the amazing things we will do. I will remember to thank you each day for the memories we create!
4. Love and Laugher: I promise to remember to bring my own love and laughter. I will keep my heart full of joy and a smile on my face. I promise to be kind to my friends, my family, all others, and myself.

I can't wait to meet you, Summer!
