Peace, Love & Summer Vacation

Tomorrow marks the first official day of my summer vacation. I am technically on summer break already, because my classes ended a week ago, but with an extra credit quiz due Friday, and a crazy busy schedule this past week, I'm just gonna consider tomorrow the start of Summer.

Summer is and always has been my favorite season. Everything about it is just so wonderful. For those of us not out in the real world quite yet, its a 4 month break from everything. No early morning classes to wake up for, no papers to write, no presentations to give, just four whole months of doing whatever you want. Sure, I have a summer job, but I absolutely love it, so going to work doesn't feel like, well, work.

I can't wait for all the adventures summer will bring...

berry picking,

picnics,

♥

breaking out my Nikon to take lovely photographs,

♥

baking lots and lots of yummy cupcakes,

the balloon festival I've gone to every year since I was a kid,

blowing bubbles,

spending time with the boyfriend,

a trip to the ocean,

and as much sun as I can soak up.

Peace, Love & Christmas Eve Again

♥

Today my mom, sister, and I are baking Christmas cookies, watching Christmas movies, eating candy canes, and making a fire in the fireplace. Who cares if Christmas was two days ago? We never got around to doing these things on Christmas Eve like we usually do, so we're pretending today is Christmas Eve. We are going to sit around in our PJs all day listening to Christmas music and doing Christmas-y things. It shall be a blast.

Peace, Love & Merry Christmas

Peace, Love & Christmas Eve

The lights are up, our tree is decorated, the stockings are hung, my shopping is finished, the presents are wrapped, and now I'm relaxing with a nice warm mug of hot cocoa. Merry Christmas Eve.

Peace, Love & Winter

Burlington is slowly but surely becoming a winter wonderland, and it is beautiful.

Peace, Love & Airplanes

♥

I love airports. There is something about them; all the people, all the planes, all the opportunities, all the adventures that await. But even more than I love airports I love flying. Just being so high up above everything, speeding through the air puts everything in perspective. You can see entire cities from there, it makes you realize how small you truly are. And it makes all of your problems seem so insignificant and easy to fix. That class that seems too hard? No worries, you can handle it. That job you’re starting to hate? Easy peasy, you can find the silver lining. That boy that’s being dumb? No problem, you can make things work out. All that weight on your shoulders seems to just lift away at takeoff.
