Love is... visions of my summers

This lovely morning I was listening to the play list on ipod called Sand and Sunsets and the song "Here in this Diary" by the Ataris came on and I totally took a walk down my memory lane of summers. Don't you just love summer? Some of my best life memories are from summer... bonfires, fireworks, water, swimming, EFY, friends, summer loves. Summer is just GREAT! So I decided to go the nostalgic route and post pictures of summers gone by.




The irony of this picture gets me every time. Mostly I just posted it because cool 16 year olds hung out at grocery store during the summer.


The of '05 I sang in Europe

...and traveled on a bus

cool 16/17 year olds also went bowling

Senior summer at restaurants

and dances

and end of school sunsets
1st summer with the BOY!

Summer concerts like Kenny Chesney... I have been to many summer concerts. 2 of which have been Jack Johnson. Coincidentally, I took boys I liked to both of those and neither of those relationships went very well. SO! No more Jack for me.

Trek with the family

and friends! Oh trek.... the memories, right JJ?

Summers in Montana... there's no place like it

Twilight concerts

Ahh.... Summers in Provo. I will always remember my summers in Provo. I loved it there. There is no place on earth I would rather be.
P.S. Meet Spencer Ottley

and our cool kids club

Bonfires at Utah Lake. There is a Rascal Flatts song called "Summer Nights" and this song perfectly describes how it feels at the bonfires... and everyone really does feel sexy.

More summer concerts... like James Taylor. I know it looks like I am high. I am not.

Summer weddings!!

Missionary goodbyes


Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
and that unspoken feeling
of knowing that right now is all that matters.
All the nights we stayed up talking
listening to 80's songs;
and quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it...
[Chorus]
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right.
Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
and wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top's singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under this moonlit summer sky.
2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it's time to go.

Come on ladies
It's time to pop that top
And fellas, I know you're ready to rock
We went crazy cooped all winter long
And school is out, so let's get it on
Flip flop tans and some white sand
I know the perfect spot
Well the sunset better set soon
So we can get in the mood
Things start getting all heated up
When it starts getting cool, yeah
Summer nights
Everybody, are you with me?
Let that igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights
Everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
Come on.
Now fellas, you better watch your step
Don't let them teeny french bikinis
Make you loose your breath
Back to the ladies
Ya'll keep doing ya'lls thing
'Cause everything about you makes me wanna scream
The sun is getting low
There it goes, here we go
Here comes the moon, yeah
Things start getting heated up
When it starts getting cool, yeah
Summer nights
Everybody, are you with me?
Let that igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights
Everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer night
It's a party down in Padre
Big bonfire on the beach
It's Coronas in Daytona y'all
Well it's wild and it's free
Summer nights
Everybody, are you with me?
Let that igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights
Everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
Come on
Summer nights
Everybody, are you with me?
Let that igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights
Everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
