It hit me today when I was making lunch plans with Aubrey, and we were planning a date to meet in NOVEMBER, that summer is officially, unquestionably OVER. I won't miss the unbearable heat but I will miss the warm nights, barbecues on our new patio, having an evening glass of wine outdoors with Zach and the flowers' brightly colored blooms.
Stand-out moments of this summer for us are our fun trip to Zion National Park with the Millers (before they moved to South Carolina and ruined our lives), hiking with my mom and dad at Calf Creek Falls, celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary (?!?), celebrating Sydney's first birthday with us and our always-fun neighborhood game nights and barbecues.
A few of Zach's favorite times included finally getting to play baseball again (his first opportunity since college 7 years ago), finishing the long-awaited (and badly needed) concrete at our house and getting to take a couple nights a week away from the restaurant.
My highlights included going to Europe to be with one of my favorite clients in Switzerland and then getting myself--in one piece--to visit one of my best friends in the entire world, Maegan, in Rome (three trains, four bags of luggage and numerous bumps and bruises later), cheering for Zach at his baseball games alongside my fabulous in-laws, getting to see and celebrate adorable mom-to-be Kristyn and reunite with my CHS pals at our 10th high school reunion.
I love fall but am going to miss summer--especially once winter has settled itself in. Goodbye summer, catch you in May '08.

That's what tipped you off? Not the SNOW? Or the christmas decorations for sale?
GLTS!!
Christmas Decorations for sell isn't really a tip off. Since in some stores they have been out for months. And at Hobby Lobby they are sold year round.
Sorry for the misspelling above. For Sale...
Love the pictures! You definitely have experienced a lot! I still think the pictures of you and your parents hiking are the best! Let's get together soon.
What a great tribute to summer. Made me weep just a little.
What fun pictures. I will miss the summer, but am LOVING the Fall!
I think I need a tissue...
Hey Miranda it's been fun to see what you have been up to in the last 10 + years since our Stud Gov days at CHS.
I love when people I know blog.
