Time Flies When?

Time flies when you're having fun right? Right, but that's not the whole story, time flies regardless of what you are doing. Here we are July 27th and just yesterday was the first time this summer that Janelle, Aunt Sharon and I swam across the cove, in fact it was Aunt Sharon's first time in the water at all!!

Next week is my last week interning with Senator Dodd's office and then it's just 2 1/2 weeks until I move back into school!! Things have been somewhat stressful and very exhausting at home, but regardless I wouldn't want to spend my summer any other way. This summer I have become incredible close with my family, having spend little to no time with anyone outside of my family and it has been great! This summer has been filled with stress and difficult moments but the closeness I have found with my family is priceless.

If I won a million dollars

Not that it's news to me or probably to any of you either but family is the most important thing in any one's life. Those of us who are lucky enough to have a family like mine, where we can stick together through thick and thin are the luckiest people on earth.

Of course I would love to win a million dollars, wouldn't you? It doesn't matter in life how much money you have but rather how you spend your time, money, and how you share your love. Those who know me know that I would describe myself as motivated and driven to achieve success in my life. Those who are close to me know that my number one goal is to make enough money to fix up my family's lake house.

We spend weekends, holidays, and really as much time as possible at the lake. It's my favorite place to be. Whether it's a rainy day and we watch a movie or play board games or a sunny day that we spend in the lake, laying in the sun, or taking crazy rides on the jet ski, the lake is always GREAT! This is a great place because here I am surrounded by family. I love my friends, but when push comes to shove family is all we have in this world because they will always be there for you.

So to my family, all of you, no matter how crazy we can all be at times, no matter what we are there for each other and because of that I love you all!

So what would you do if you won a million dollars?

summer weather

Today I heard reports of a possible high of 90 degrees!! If it hits 90 today that will be the first time this summer!! It's hard to believe that it has been such a cool summer, wearing warmer clothes every night almost and wrapping up in a blanket, at night when the windows and fan were all on.

Although I love the warm weather and am lucky enough to have a relief from it at the lake, the humidity that often follows it here in New England is not always welcome, especially by my HAIR!!

Looking at the sunshine out the windows here in Hartford, I can't wait to jump into some shorts and head to the lake house tonight!

Fridays :)

It's Friday and I had to get up earlier than I would have liked to go to Hartford for my internship, but I woke up to the smell of homemade breakfast! Mom is home because she has Fridays off and breakfast is always a nice surprise :)

Off to eat breakfast and get ready to hit the road. Watch for more updates throughout the day from Hartford.

Summer is upon us!

Today was the first day that I was hot enough to bring up the air conditioners!! It was incredibly humid out today when I took my Gramma shopping in Manchester for a birthday gift for my Mom, who will be 50 on Monday. After that I met my mom and her friend John in Niantic for lunch before heading back to town to hang out at the lake for a while. Now I am back home after a quick swim at Gramma and Paka's pool listening to the crazy weather outside.

We are having quite the thunderstorm. The lightening is pretty impressive. I am looking forward to less humid air tonight and tomorrow after this storm passes.

Tomorrow I will be interning all day in Hartford (which means there will probably be more updates) and then possibly spending the night at the lake with Janelle.

I am off to watch the news before heading to bed. Good Night :)
