Ok.. time to be honest.... this is how my 5 Things Friday post began:
***********************
Every year I try to convince myself that Fall isn't so horrible. I try to point out the positives of Fall. I try to fool myself in to believing that pumpkin spice in my coffee is somehow better than a glass of wine on the porch. Or that putting on a hoodie and watching a football game is really better than putting on a swimsuit and heading to the pool.
Every year I try... and every year I still end up depressed when the weather changes and in a pissy mood until I just accept that its dark all the time and cold and just miserable...
SO this year... this year I'm just going to tell it like it is! No more sugarcoating it! Here are the 5 things that suck the most about Summer coming to an end:

Then I sat back and thought.... wow.... that was so negative!!! So lets regroup a minute....
Ok, 5 Things Friday - It still sucks that Summer is over, but instead of hating on Fall, lets remember my 5 FAVORITE moments from this past summer!! :) We had a full schedule this summer, so there is a lot to pick from!
1. Watching Lyla watch fireworks for the first time. It was so sweet, she got so excited about them and just in complete awe. I was too busy watching her to even watch the fireworks myself!
2. Going to the beach. I LOVE the beach! It was so great to get to go this year. I hadn't been to the beach in five years, so I was way overdue to go!
3. Bruno Mars. What an amazing concert! I am so glad that I got to go. He is a fantastic performer and so talented, I can't wait to go see him again some day!
4. Play dates with Amanda and Becca. I am so thankful to have these two in our lives. Lyla and Becca are the cutest little BFFs you have ever seen and I just adore Amanda! We spent so much time with these two over the summer and I loved every second of it!
5. Spending time with my friends. If I named all the things we did with our friends this summer, I would have a lot more than 5 things! I have great friends, the best if you ask me! And any time that I get to spend with them makes me a happy girl! Kicking off summer with everyone at our house for Memorial Day to seeing old friends at Erin & Andy's wedding to making new friends by being in Ashley's wedding. My friends are just so important to me!
