Herron to Rivera

Whew. It sure has been a hot one. It's also been a quick minute since this has been updated. Whoops. #sorrynotsorry. The days have been long and the weeks short, and holy moly we are already almost to August. I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself, but there are so many fun things to look forward to this fall! I really can't wait to bust out my boots again (and to not worry about whether or not my legs have been shaved ;)), football season, fair season, birthdays, holidays. It's my favorite time!  I'm tying to soak up the last of this 100-degree weather, but it's not easy. It's physically draining just walking to and from the car. I ended up having a 100-degree fever last night, complete with chills and achy-ness just out of the blue. I feel somewhat fine today, but that was so random and with the heat, almost unbearable. I didn't feel like doing anything, and this heat just isn't what I thought it would be. And I used to play soccer game...

Yayy for Birthdays! Especially the ones that determined oh so long ago how our country came to be to this day. It's easy to forget the real meaning behind the Holiday, but I am forever grateful that I am fortunate enough to have lived in a such a place where spending time out at the lake with my friends and family, drinking and eating all sorts of yummies, and enjoying the simple things in life has been made possible.  So! Lake! Sunshine! Family! Friends! It was a glorious (and short) 3 day weekend, but it was a blasty blast (not just from the fireworks though). My sister and her boyfriend got to come out and spend the weekend with us, and joining not long after was Robert's sis and HER boyfriend, AND my parents. Full house, and couldn't have asked for anything better! The food was yummy (I may or may not have eaten dessert all day long since I made it on Friday morning), the drinks were drunk, and good times were made.  Hope...

Or should I say May.... showers .....? And fortunately enough, I have only seen maybe one June bug so far, and it was back in May. Knock on wood. I'm still not used to this bright yellow thing in the sky that gives off heat. 2 months under constant cloud cover and rain/storms/tornadoes/more rain- it's like a whole new world outside! I can't believe it's already June! A summer month, even if it's not "technically" summer just yet. 4 years ago it meant no school for almost 3 whole months, full of days filled with sunshine and laying out by the pool with a good book and drink in hand. Siiiiigh..... ....And back to reality. Here's what I'm hoping to accomplish on my Summer 2015 Bucket List: - Get a tan . Since the wedding, I froze my skin cancer inducing tanning membership in hopes that the months following our Honeymoon would be filled with sunshine and bathing suits. Mother Nature just laughed at me when I thought of that. - Get a snow cone! ...
