Summer Highlights.

I am not a fan of summer. I simply do not like to sweat. I abhor heat and humidity. However, overall, this summer was really great. Nothing more "fun" than a bulleted list.

• Starting sewing classes! I have longed to learn to sew forever. Thanks to my good friend Heather, I finally took the steps toward learning. Plus, I purchased my own snazzy sewing machine.

• Beginning of the basement improvements. Goodbye yellow linoleum. Goodbye white paneling. Goodbye "Too Close for Comfort"-esque painted stripes in the laundry area.

• Abby's Art Class. My girl loves to paint and create. (I'm not-so-secretly thrilled about this!) She loved the summer class so much, we signed her up for the fall sessions too.

• Deciding to be a one car family. We sold my older, no snazzy upgrades car. We sold it to our neighbors, so it's still sitting out front of my house. With the money, I got a kick ass camera, and we could redo the basement.

• Ocean City, NJ. Abby had a blast! The first time on a beach and in the ocean and she loved every second.

• Taking pictures for and getting paid by Fairmount Fibers.
