Goodbye Sweet Summertime...

This Summer has absolutely, without a doubt, been one of my top three favorite summers.  Even though I spent most of it in Asheville away from some of my favorite people, family, and friends, I still have loved every single place, thing, and experience I've had. 
I was lucky enough to save money throughout the year, as well as doing some freelance art projects for friends so I didn't have to teach Summer School this year.  I will admit, I've spent a lot of days by the pool, lake, or beach...but unlike most years I have actually been working when out there on stuff besides just my tan.  
  This month I have dedicated my life to finishing calligraphy work for one of my favorite friend's Wedding Invitations.  She contacted me about two weeks ago and since they arrived my hand has been going non-stop!  
However, last week we went home to Morehead and spent the entire week with my family.  Even though I've been up in the mountains for the majority of the summer, I've been able to spend all my favorite Holidays at the beach along with a few extra beach vacays, so I can't complain one bit about being so many hours away from my favorite place in the world...home!
 Towsend finally got to meet my other boyfriend...who unfortunately now likes Townsend more than me...go figure!  In fact, I swear he said Townsend one day and I still haven't gotten him to say Christine yet! haha
 We stayed the week at my brothers and I got to catch up with my sister-in-law as well as every single Duck Dynasty episode from last season...My poor brother loves to hunt so much that when he's not out doing it, he's watching it on tv! 
 I've really loved taking Towns home with me this summer and am so thankful he loves being down at the beach as much as I do!
 Nights out in Morehead
 To finish off the week we helped celebrate one of my oldest childhood friend's engagement.  I am so excited for Christian and Erica and can't wait to see the pictures from their wedding in St. John! 
My favorite person in the whole entire world!  Love my little Mama!
And now...it's back to reality and back to work on Monday!  I hope everyone else has had a wonderful summer, too! xoxo
