Monthly Musings | July 2014

I have decided to start a new series titled "Monthly Musings". In these posts, I will reflect on the past month and list some of the highlights, thoughts, etc that have been on my mind. This is the first of many, and I hope you enjoy it!

-Spending time with my cousins after not being all together for 2.5 years was definitely a highlight of the month and the whole summer. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family!

If you look closely at my cousin in purple, you might notice that a little one is on the way!

-There might possibly be nothing better than seeing your favorite band play a free concert on the beach. Top it off with an awesome surf contest and being with great friends and it really can't get better.

-Even though I am not a big fan of the hot California weather we have been experiencing, I am so thankful that I am not six months back in the freezing Michigan winter.

It's deceptively beautiful, is it not?

-The summer is quickly approaching its end, which means that ads for back to school shopping have been on the TV and radio. Cue the momentary panic that ensues within me, thinking I will leave for Michigan in a matter of weeks. I then remember that I graduated from college and will not ever have to go back to school again-unless of course I fulfill my grad school dreams. However, the realization that I have finished undergrad school still has yet to sink in fully.

Was this just a dream?
