Photo Credits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

School has been out for almost a month around here but today is officially summer! It is summer and we haven't yet turned on our air conditioner (woohoo for low electricity bills), though I have a feeling it's right around the corner. What does summer mean to you? Any fun plans for this summer? Have you turned on your air conditioner?

Happy Summa!

Summer, you are welcomed

Summer is almost here, summer is almost here! I'm ready. This is how I know summer is already being welcomed here by yours truly.

I lightened my hair. And I have already gone to a wedding (my bro and new sis-in-law's wedding). This photo is by April Smith & Co., she's amazing, go check her out and all the rest of their wedding photos. My mom says this photo remind her of us when we were little, awww!

I've been to a graduation.
I've made a very summery meal. Skirt steak with a tomato balsamic topping, papaya avocado salad, and watermelon. Yum!
I've ate watermelon like its going out of style. I pre cut all my fruit so its the first thing I grab for in my fridge.

And I have traded my Converse for flip flops. (I may not be all the way ready...i need a pedicure).

Summer, you may not officially arrive till June 21st but you are already welcomed here in my book!
