My Love of Summer

Having an early July birthday has only fed my love for summer. My mom told me countless stories of going to my grandparents cottage a few hours north of Central Wisconsin.  This cottage was and still is my favorite place in the whole world.  I would beg my grandparents to take me every chance I got.  It is nestled on a quiet lake on a quiet road.  Oh how I love it so much.

I distinctly remember being in the water constantly.  I live for swimming or boating and my favorite was floating in the float boat or pontoon.  Bert and Fred’s love boat.  Oh how I cherish those memories.

So once the weather gets warmer, my body craves the sun.  My skin gets tanner and my need for summer fun increases.

I try to pack as much as I can into the 12 or so weeks we get. Thankfully this year, the beautiful weather started last week and has continued.

My summer bucket list:

Fish with my daddy

Tubing down the Wolf

Pontoon- sand bar

Great America

Mount Rushmore

Horseback Riding

Bike into town

Skinny Dipping (you are never too old for that)

Bon fires

House parties

Fall in love (😂😂I know- single4life but maybe I’ll fall in love with myself again!)

Wake up at 5am and actually work out instead of thinking about it

And finally have fun every opportunity I can.  Saying yes to things that make me happy. 

I’m so blessed to say that every year has been better than the last.  Though I’ve had some tough summers in the past few years, I’ve overcome my obstacles and made the most of my situation.  And I will continue to do that this summer!  Woot! 

What are you looking forward to this summer?
