Celebrating Summer

Summer is upon us my love. Soon the girls will both be out of school. The weather is changing again. This season and the fall are really the best times in the midwest. It is my favorite time of the year. Not for weather purposes, but because we start spending such quality time together.

The summer represents lots of grilling, chilling and fun for the two of us. It has already started. Sunday was really nice. We worked hard on the patio and planting plants. Then we did what I enjoy so much. We broke out some beers, some chips, some salsa and then the day just started getting away from us. It is so nice to spend that kind of time with you. We just sit, talk, enjoy the weather and enjoy being together.

I kind of thought back through our past and this isn't a new thing for us. We have always been summer people. Our first date, which by the way we celebrate a 23rd anniversary of on Sunday, was in the summer. We got our first baby in the summer. Our second baby came at the technical beginning of Texas summer. We had pool fun, park going fun, picnic fun, soccer trip fun, we always had the boys around more than usual in the summer and we always have each other. The summer is essentially our time. The season we have spent some of our best times.

Our best vacations have been in the summer. Hilton Head trips, Maui, Cabo San Lucas, Cancun with friends/family, Dells with friends and the few car trips to places like dinosaur valley or wherever in the early days. We always find somewhere to go or something big to do. Summer is our time.

You always look your best in the summer. You were a tan better than anyone ever has worn one. It brings out your dazzling smile and perfect eyes. Plus tan lines are so sexy! But I'll keep the blog at least PG rated this time.

So as we head into what may be the last really normal summer we have for some time, let's make it a great one. Let's make every Sunday grill and chill day. Let's find a day trip or two (Door County maybe?) to make with the girls. Maybe later this summer we splurge and take us all somehwere, who knows? All I know is I get to spend my 23rd summer with the person I want to enjoy life with the most. I can't wait. I hear a cold Miller Lite, some great music, some cool talk and can see that gorgeous face of yours now. Welcome back summer! It is officially hammock time! Want to share a sunny nap with me?

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
