“So long sweet summer
(So long sweet summer)
I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays
So long sweet slumber
(So long sweet slumber)
I fell into you, now you’re gracefully falling away” — DC

Can you believe that it’s *almost* the last day of summer? This warm and carefree season seemed to come and go so quickly this year, just like the sunlight now that feels so fleeting each day. While I’m obviously ready to jump full into fall, I thought I would send off summer with a little ode to all of my favorite memories it held, and that includes…

… making our house a home and summer nights in Springfield MO. Sipping on iced coffee, seeing the statue of liberty and driving up and all around the state of Colorado. Singing at the top of my lungs to my favorite summer song (My Heart Beats 4 U by Rooney — in case you’re wondering), and being silly with the one I love. // Now it’s your turn — share with me a few of your favorite summer memories that you know you won’t soon forget! 

This fall is set to be a full one, but I’m ready for it and can’t wait to get started (and with a girls trip for my besties bachelorette next weekend!). Scott and I have a few fun things up our sleeves, like two handmade markets with Citizen Home Decor in mid-October (Pineapple Triangle & the Mesa Bazaar), and we’re pretty stoked to celebrate ten years of love toward the end of this month! Fall 2016, we’re ready for you!

Are you ready to kiss this summer goodbye, or are you clutching onto those last few days, hours, minutes for dear life? I’ll be back soon, but for now — so long sweet summer!
