faint whispers from summer

This past summer was the best summer of my entire life. I made so many great memories that I will savor forever. As we start to get back into our school year schedules and usher fall in, I'm sitting here fondly remembering the good times I had this summer. I'll admit that I'm a little hesitant to let this summer go. I wish summer would continue forever. But, I know that fall has its own blessings and I'm sure I'll make many new favorite memories.

Sometimes, when one season of your life is so great, you wonder how anything will ever be able to compare to that. That is how I feel about this past summer. It was filled with so many new experiences, new friends, times of laughingsohardyoucan'tcatchyourbreath and then you can't quit letting out random spurts of giggles, deep, heart to heart conversations, strengthening old friendships, and just so much greatness. God's going to have to pull out all the stops to make this school year even begin to compare. Just sayin'. ;)

Anyway, I hope to post a few recollections of summer posts over the next month or so. Both my ten year old brother and my seven year old sister played baseball/softball this summer and a good majority of my time in June was spent going to many games. Squinting against the harsh sunlight, squatting down low to capture the best angles of the fields, and barely keeping track of which team was winning due to being so focused on capturing the best photos + also trying to keep up with the various conversations my family was holding around me.
