The End of Summer...

As I sit here on this Sunday night, watching NASCAR, I started thinking about my summer...and how it has pretty much come to an end. Then I figured, "hey, this would be an excellent topic for a blog". That thought leads us to where we are now...a new post (finally)! My summer hasn't exactly been anything out of the ordinary this year. I didn't go on any life-altering journeys where I had to "find myself". I didn't climb a mountain, or swim across a lake, or anythign like that. But it's been one of those summers where I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've done. I think this is the perfect night tonight to just sit back and write a reflection on some of the things I've done and accomplished, and just some general thoughts about the summer of '07.

The biggest difference this summer when I compare it to past ones, is that I've had almost 5 months off from school. Brock finished in April, and we're going back to school on Thursday (September 6). It's really weird having so much time off. At first, I really had no idea what I was going to do with all the time I had, but looking back at it now, I wonder..."where the hell did the summer go?". Sure, I spent a fair amount of time working and doing that sort of thing, but I mean...I still have no idea where the 5 months went. Other than working, I pretty much just hung around with friends doing normal "summer stuff".

The other thing that was phenominal about this summer, and I really couldn't write a summer blog without mentioning it, is that I spent most of it with the most amazing girl in the world. It's been 8 months and a bit since me and Morgan started dating, and I can honestly say it's been amazing from the get-go. There's not a single girl/person who I can think of that I'd rather have spent the summer with. She was there in the good times, the bad times, the happy times, the sad times. She was there for all the ups and downs, right by my side, and me right by hers. Love is a very surreal thing to sit down and think about, and if you would have asked me last summer if I thought I'd have ever found such an amazing girl and friend like I have with Morgan, I'd have thought you were absolutely crazy. She's made this summer so good, and I wouldn't change anything we did for the world. We did so much stuff together, and every single minute of it was just amazing. I'm so in love, and it's the greatest feeling in the world. (I guess this is quite a change from the last "Morgan blog" I wrote...haha).

Anyways, all-in-all...it was a really good summer. I did pretty much everything I set out to do, and enjoyed the majority of it. I'm going to try and update this thing regularily throughout the school year, so stay tuned!
