Officially Summer!

I am pretty excited because summer is officially here!!!

This summer will be amazing for a few reasons (in no particular order):
1- I live in DENVER
2- Road Trip to Cali with Deak
3- Backpacking with C.William
4- Mom and Natalie visiting Denver + Mesa Verde
5-Interning with Denver Athletics
6- Having a schedule where I can actually visit the gym regularly
7- Films on the Rocks
8- Movies in the Park
9- Hiking & Biking
10- Rockies baseball
11- Summer always means fireworks (I love fireworks)
12- reading FOR FUN
13- sunscreen and catching skin cancer

"If 13 is unlucky then so should the letter 'B' be, because it looks like a scrunched together 13.
12 & 14 are guilty by association."
