finally...

It FINALLY feels like SUMMER! praise the Lord. I feel like I have been waiting forever for this blessed season to arrive. Right now in California, the sun is shining warm and bright.

Last night I went to a concert in the park with Rachel and Megan. We ordered salads to go from Olive Pit (a delicious Mediterranean restaurant) and then headed to Tri-City Park to set up our picnic. I have a ridiculously LARGE hot pink blanket that makes every picnic just a little bit better! Rachel brought the wine and we settled right in. Laughter resonated throughout the evening and I am absolutely certain that fun was had by all. While sitting in the grass enjoying sweet friends and looking up at the gorgeous skyline fluttered by giant trees and slowly changing clouds, it finally felt like summer...
