holly hearts summer.

I will give no excuses for my blogger neglect/hiatus for the following reasons:

a. This summer has been quite marvelous.
b. Why would I be blogging when I could be
doing things that I'm about to tell you about?

*touche Holly, touche*

Is it weird that I seriously can't remember much of what went on in June? Most likely.

But here's what I actually have pictures of. Not that the rest wasn't fantastic. :) Because, well, this is the best & happiest summer ever had.

Fairmont Princess Resort.
4th of July weekend.
Three Dog Night. Five for Fighting.
FOOD. {Best chips y salsa i've ever had}
pool.pool.pool.
ma + pa + ryan = best company!

This is Claire. We're kind of bff's.
She models Holly's Headgear, I speak kind words to her.
I sing songs to her on her hard days.
See? Win-win! {name that movie}

EFY with Tina... hands down,
the most lifting, confidence-boosting, spiritual, happy experience.
EFY is an inspired program.
It's something life-changing that I wish
everyone had the opportunity to participate in.

Post-EFY temple square walk!
I love this place.
Can't wait to go inside someday. :)

{p.s. The organ recitals in the tabernacle are gold. Go.}

Disney Leadership Workshop with Stuco... pure amazing.
I can't get over how fun this was!
We spent two days in Disneyland
& lots of time at the beach.
{Let me just say... Disney is magical. More than ever.}

And this is most likely the most hilarious
picture from the whole summer.
Meet Dillon and his hairless cat, Benjamin.
{which is a girl, btw}

It's nearly impossible to explain how seriously.incredible. this summer has been. So much happiness has been revamped & found. It's been one of those times that I have been recognizing {so much more fully} how blessed I really am. It's been soul-searching & refining. Definitely not perfect, but just.what.I.needed. And hey, guess what! Heavenly Father answers prayers. That's all.
