Awkward/Awesome Beginning of the Summer ’22

Happy Friday friends! I’m so excited that it’s Friday and the first official week of summertime for us here in our family!

I’m not sure about ya’ll, but this year was a LONG ONE! Maybe that’s because I was a teacher this year?! But… wow!! I’m so excited for summer, for the warm/hot weather, and mostly for the time off to spend with my family and to get back to photographing family’s!

Are you ready for the summer?

We’ve already been in full summer gymnastics mode over here with hours upon hours in the gym. Actually Linc is at the gym right now and I watched him yesterday as they finished up their conditioning and I am 100% convinced that if I did their ab routine, I might just have a washboard six pack by the end of summer.

What do you think? Should I try?! I’m not sure, I think I might throw up!

Anyway… Fridays are my favorite days because I get to hop on here and share with you all the awkward things that have happened over the week; and ya’ll know I’m super awkward so there are plenty!

Let’s start it off shall we:

Awkward:

• Having to get used to being at the neighborhood pool in my bathing suit with some of my students! I actually LOVE having them there! It makes being at the pool so much more fun considering Linc is now pretty much too cool for me! However, it IS a little awkward when you just can’t find a bathing suit anymore (one piece or two piece) that isn’t cheeky! So the first few times I was a little weirded out but now I say, oh well! Let’s slide and splash and have some fun!
• Driving home from dropping Linc off at the gym and blaring Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus, singing loudly at the top of my lungs… only to realize Linc had put his back window down! Yep… that happened. I can’t sing ya’ll… like at all! The guy in the car next to me at the stop light was cracking up! I did get a thumbs up though as I casually rolled the window up.
• Working out for the first time again in forever! Holy moly ya’ll! Going from being a fitness instructor to being at school all day long and then coming home and not working out for a year. SHEEESH… that’s all I have to say! I decided to go back to beachbody’s 80 day obsession and it has kicked my tush! Tuesday was booty day and then we decided to go to the water park and walk up a gazillion flight of stairs over and over and over again. Let me just give you an image: think of me like a baby giraffe! Send help please!
• The puppy! Do I even need to say anymore! He barks at himself in the mirror (at midnight). He runs into walls (when he’s not running). He still can’t figure out that outside is where he should go poop. He hops like a bunny… at random times usually when he’s standing still. He is part mountain goat and we find him randomly sitting on top of our tables, our couch, our counter top. I mean, honestly he’s an entire post all to himself!
• How about that moment, when the doorbell rings and you aren’t expecting anyone so you are in the shower and you desperately try to get out of the shower but you are rushing so you panic and you run head first into the doorway and slip and fall onto the floor! Someone come help me please!

Awesome:

• It’s summer! Enough said! Sleeping in (except Linc wakes up super early but the thought is nice)
• Gymnastics summer training which means I have time in the house by myself that is quiet! I’ve done laundry, I’ve cleaned, I’ve read a book! It’s so nice!
• Long, Lazy nights outdoors!
• Linc has finally found some books he likes to read so he has been reading more!
• THE BEACH!
• Beach sessions which honestly are just my favorite! Have you scheduled yours yet?!

How’s your summer going so far friends?! Have you had any crazy awkward moments like I have?

I can’t wait to hear!
