July is...

This time of year, seriously. There's nothing like it. Jerret and I pulled an opposite by leaving cooler weather to endure some valley heat this weekend; and it was totally worth it! Being surrounded by family, friends and some killer BBQ, I couldn't help myself but write down some thoughts on this AWESOME month.

July is watermelon dribbling down a child's chin.
July is reconnecting with those we don't see often
July is making s'mores in the backyard
July is swimming in a pool warm as bath water
July is watching a monsoon from the porch
July is red, white and blue everywhere you look
July is explosions of every color filling a night sky
July is the ringing in your ear after the firework show
July is a trip up to Snowflake
July is the excitement of the Taylor night rodeo
July is the sweet scent of popcorn and snow cones, filling your nose
July is appreciation of our troops
July is freedom

We played card games, ate like kings, took a trip to Sunsplash, watched movies and said some goodbyes. So much FUN fit into a couple of days. I'm so grateful for Jerret's family and all they did and continue to do. I am truly the luckiest.
