July is ONE hour, TWO hugs, THREE winks, and a shower away. I want to send smiles out to all of you who have made my June worth while. Whether it was going out to Subway on a spur of the moment, having heartfelt conversations while assembling a puzzle, catching fish with my two darling cousins, Tylee and Dylan, or spending hours in the sun letting the grass slip between our toes or tickle our backs as we sprawled out staring at the clouds. Summer has finally begun. Life is wonderful.

But with July peeking around the corner, I can only look forward to an even better month. I plan to throw my sandals off once more and soak in the sun till my cheeks peel and my nose is cherry red. I plan to celebrate my 21st birthday on the 5th of July with friends and family. And I plan to become closer to those who I have not spent enough time with lately. It will be a month worth remembering and a month full of memories. So hats off to the ruby month, July, the seventh month on the Gregorian calendar, the warmest month in the northern hemisphere, and the month named after Julius Caesar. It will be great.
