since summer is officially here, i thought i'd list some summer-y things that i'm particularly grateful for today:
iced passion tea from starbucks
vbs (this week, we'll have over 1,000 kids at gt!)
walks
stargazing
bike rides with my dad
days at the beach
dresses and shorts and sandals
ice cream
road trips
a playful puppy
meetings held outside
picnics
