Dear Summer,

PLEASE don't end.
You have been really good to me this year and I wish you could stay longer.

Here are a few pictures to prove it...

spent some time with this little rascal

got a picture with Sheri Dew

Yes, I'm wearing a sombrero and yes, it's stabbing her in the face

spent time with the family, Jerusalem friends, and went to a few Bee's games

played with fireworks

went to thee Goonies house

hiked to some waterfalls

kissed this little girl to death



saw one of my best friends get married

went to Legoland with some of my favorite people

went to the portland temple with my parents

drove the old man crazy

went to pikes market for the 1st time.

p.s. I loved the pacific northwest!

spent a lot of time with this cute guy

put my running shoes to use

watched these cute girls + their 4 brothers
(and spent a lot of time working in the office)

did some camping

.....and now I'm currently in Las Vegas for a girls trip before school starts in 11 days.

Thanks for sending me sunshine and happiness for the past few months. I feel very lucky and blessed. I love my life. My only hope is that I feel this same way about the fall!

xoxo, ALI

p.s. I hope those 11 days approach VERY slowly.
