Kids are back in school, so here’s a look back at a summer full of mud, laughs, adventures, and moments that made it completely unforgettable. This summer, we really killed it. Usually, I work straight through these months and make excuses for not wanting to travel, but this time we said yes to last-minute vacations, Dollywood adventures, deep-sea fishing. And honestly, it wasn’t the things we did that made it special, but the moments in between: the funny looks, the snarky comments, the sarcasm, the serenity, the holding hands, the quiet breaths we stole together. In the middle of our crazy adventures, life also hit me with its s**t stick: I lost someone I loved, faced challenges with someone else I love deeply, and every time I turned around, there was something else reminding me I had to make a choice, to keep moving forward and truly enjoy my life. So just a little reminder: these pictures capture magical moments, but they don’t tell the full story. From river dinners to polka-dot days and everything in between, we made it messy, magical, and completely ours.
