dear sweet summer,

thank you for all of the wonderful adventures.

thank you for making it so the whole family could be together to take these sweet shots.

thank you for the wonderful birthday spent at a brad paisley concert with some of my favorite girls.

thank you for the santa cruz beach boardwalk in all of it's wonderful glory.  thank you for the ferris wheel that made it possible for me to capture this.

summer, next year can please you make it so there's a major stud sitting next to me in that ferris wheel?  seriously, don't forget.

thank you for the fabulous 4th of july weekend spent up in arnold with my lovely friends that i've missed so much.  

thank you for keeping my bruises, cuts and scrapes to a minimum after our adventure at candy rock.

thank you for all of the celebrations, like jennifer's 18th birthday party.  i will never pass up an excuse to eat something incredibly delicious with homemade ice cream.

thank you for the trip to utah with my favorite sissy.  it was wonderful to drive 95 MPH on the highway and not get any speeding tickets.  also, thank you for making it possible for me to get a haircut by the fabulous jenna layne - it was much needed.  i'm so so happy the red hair didn't turn out to be too tragic of an experience.

and last but not least, thank you sweet summer for bringing letters from the cutest missionary ever.

oh Summer, how i'm sad to see you go.  good thing fall and i are such good friends.

i can't wait to see you next year,

jana
