Goodbye Summer

This summer really has flown by. I remember being a student and always counting down the days until the semester was over so that I could do nothing all day and just lay by the pool to get my tan on. This was my second summer as an 'adult' and I actually didn't have much of a summer at all! I remember this past February when Adam and I actively started going to the gym and I told our personal trainer that I needed a hot bikini body for summer. My body was in a bathing suit for a total of about 6 hours this summer.

Even though there wasn't much pool or tanning time I did have a great summer. Here is my end-of-summer recap.

• four trips to NYC
• 18 days in Los Angeles
• trips to Chicago, San Fran, Seattle, Atlanta, and Orlando
• Adam spoke at three seminars
• celebrated our one-year wedding anniversary
• made a trip to the largest water park in North America, Schlitterbahn! (my one time in a bathing suit)
• had a feature story published in the sixth largest newspaper in the United States
• saw three Gay Pride parades in three different cities
• hiked the Austin Green Belt
• went to my cousins high school graduation and had a mini family reunion
• had my bestie come visit
• housed up to 6 house-guests at once (lots of visitors!)
• finally saw the bats on Congress bridge
• went out to Lake Travis on the 4th of July
• took on 4 new instructors and 3 new interns for our company

While it doesn't seem like anything too earth shattering or exciting happened, it was pretty non stop which is how our life seems to always be. I do love fall and now that summer is over I'm excited to see what this season brings! What was your favorite event or activity you did this summer?
