August.
Already.
How could it possibly have happened so fast?
I’m not complaining – August is my favorite month of the year! I love August. It smells of blinding sunlight and chlorinated swimming pools, tan lines, baseball, steaming asphalt, and ice cream, It wreaks of sunscreen, barbecues, camping, and last-ditch road trips to the lake house. It screams of sleepovers, late night movie marathons, and the final, precious days of the freedom and glory of a sweet, sweet summer. It smells of back to school and the lingering thoughts of a new fall wardrobe, eye exams, dental appointments, vaccinations and haircuts, class schedules, homeroom teachers, and fresh school supplies. Mmm, office supplies…
August also smells of my birthday (It’s a big one folks – quarter of a century!), Ted’s birthday (30 again!), my mom’s birthday, Ted’s sister’s birthday, Ted’s brother-in-law’s birthday, my sister-in-law’s birthday, my nephew’s birthday, a cousin’s birthday, my grandma’s birthday, and the birthdays of a ton of friends as well. I sincerely hope I left no one out. As you can see, it’s a packed social schedule.
And this year it’s an especially amazing month.
I’m stoked to be hitting the big 2-5, going on a wonderfully relaxing and exciting honeymoon, choosing new digs to call our home for next year, and I’ll be getting started working with a great theater position I have lined up.
I’m in awe of what life dishes out.
August, I am so ready to enjoy the heck out of you!
This August is going to be Epic.
