Too many things have happened and months have passed for me to fairly blog about it all separately. So here's one giant blog post about my lovely summer. This has been one of the best ones I can remember, and now y'all can hear all about it.
(This post is really quite long. Feel free to skim.)
My brother graduated, and we all got to dress up fancy
and cry about him growing up.
I ruined an already awkward picture.

I cut my hair for the first time in three years, and I love it.

All of us girls went on vacation to Galveston.
Walking along the beach with Peyton.
Exploring in town.
We went on a little tour boat thing, and we saw dolphins!
Our Peyton turned five. <3
I tried to be artsy and get a cool picture of myself. Sitting. On sand.
I GOT MY BRACES OFF!!!!

My mom, Reagan, on of my good friends Jerah, and I all roadtripped to Kansas.
WE WERE HEADED TO THE OYAN SUMMER WORKSHOP!
Where I got to spend a week with these lovely people.
Learning, critiquing, and generally having the best week ever.
Taking comfort the last day by... Laying on the ground.
And using each other as pillows.
We called it the Stomach Train.
WE HAD A 20S NIGHT!
This is me and Delaney, her being our lovely prohibitionist.
Me and the beautiful Elly. I missed her so much.
We were roomates again this year, and it was so much fun. One of the best things about the week was staying up way too late and watching Newsies with her.
I love ya, Pond.
KIERA!
Hugs on the last night. <3
The Frodo to my Sam.
I missed her so very much.
Nori. <3
All the rawr.
This lovely group of people who stole my sour candy.
Emma and Mariesa as Jack and Davey on Newsies day.
AREN'T THEY FABULOUS!

Lying in the grass with friends. :)
Unintional shoe matching with Carlie.
We end up dressing the same so much now it's getting creepy.
Carlie and me on the Fourth of July. <3
Watching the fireworks with these lovely people.
Keeping cool.
Jackson about to leave to Brazil for 3 weeks.
Katherine and I had our own lil' photo shoot.
All of us crammed onto a little bench to FaceTime Jackson.
Kathering competed in Nationals!
She placed really well.
And as you can all see, I'm obviously the flexible one in the family.
We went to the city and ate at a cute little cafe.
I GOT MY PERMIT!
Here you see me trying out for the part of "Off Balance Mannequin."
We attended the wedding of an old family friend.
And had quite a lot of fun with makeup and dresses.
And now you're caught up on my summer, as I'm sure you were dying to be.
It's been excited and gruelingly hot and lots of fun. I still have a few weeks before school starts, and dare I say I'm ready for it?
I hope you've all been having an amazing summer. Keep on smiling. <3
