There are so many fun things going on in the next month. In less than two weeks, I’m going on a much needed vacation to the beach! I can’t wait. I haven’t been on a vacation longer than a few nights away in over four years, and I’ll be away for an entire week! My boyfriend, his sister (my close friend) and I rented a condo with a community pool at the beach. I can’t wait to swim all day in the ocean, get in the pool and bar hop at the boardwalk at night. I think my sister and her husband are joining us for part of the week! My brother-in-law is a talented cook and promised he’ll make us a nice meal while we’re there.

After that, the festivities begin for Aubrey‘s wedding. First, she’s having a co-ed bridal shower BBQ. It falls on the day I get back from my vacation, so I’m hoping I can swing it after traveling. She just nailed down a date for her bachelorette party. This should be a crazy night because Aubrey knows how to party. A week later, she gets married in the park.

Somewhere in there, Aubrey and I are having another photo shoot during which her fiance will be taking pictures of us and making videos. As seen in the pictures in this post, he has proven to be a talented photographer, even with no previous experience.

Finally, I’m closing out the summer by celebrating my boyfriend’s 40th birthday. I believe he’s buying himself a boat and I love the water, so I’m very excited about this. He’s been looking at sailboats, which is cool because I already love spending time on my parent’s sailboat.

I’m happy this will be an active summer.
