All The Reasons Summer Is The Superior Season
everypixel.com

It's officially getting closer to summer, and I can not wait! I am so not a winter person and I can't wait to be able to walk outside without a jacket, feel the warmth on my skin, and chill by the pool.

The warmer weather isn't the only reason why summer is the best, but there's just something about summer that makes you feel so carefree and content with life. Here are the reasons why summer is most definitely the superior season!

Lake trips

Ever since I was little my family has been going to the lake, and it's one of my absolute favorite things about summer. I get to spend quality time with my family while soaking up some sun and relaxing.

Outdoor concerts

Whats better than seeing your favorite artists in concert? Seeing them in concert OUTSIDE! I personally love outdoor venues and I think it takes the concert experience to another level.

Hammocking

There is nothing more relaxing than hanging out in a hammock on a nice day with a cold drink and a great book! It's the perfect way to destress or take part in a little self care.

Cookouts

Food..... yes sis. I'm all about the food and just thinking about all of the bbq's I am going to get to go to this summer gets me so excited.

Music festivals 

What's better than an outdoor concert like we talked about above? An outdoor festival! Music festival to me just screams summer. They are so fun, have the perfect summer aesthetic, and you get to see so many talented performers!

Pool time

My doctor told me I'm low on Vitamin D so... I definitely need to make use of my pool time and get some sun! Going to the pool is just a fun, laid back thing to do with your friends at any time in the summer.

Ice cream dates

Of course we all eat ice cream year round, who doesn't, but it's way more fun when you can take your ice cream and go on a walk, sit at the park, or just in your car with the windows down and have one of those good ole parked car convos with your best friend.

Happy hours

Happy hours are always fun, yes, but something about being able to sit on the patio and sip on a margarita with your favorite people, after a long week at work, makes it so much better.

If you couldn't tell, I am super excited for summer and can't wait to do all the fun things I've been waiting to do! As good as it is though, it always flies by so quickly, so enjoy it while you can and take some time to relax and have FUN!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
