Beautiful Memories
I was blessed to have an amazing summer.
I got to go to some very cool places and see very cool things.
I got to make memories with my younger siblings that I never want to forget.
I got to meet new friends and try new things.
I got to grow closer to Jesus.
I had a perfect summer.

| The bonfire in our backyard that we had several times over the summer. |
I’m so grateful for all the adventures I got this past summer.
And you know what? I’m actually very excited for all the things that will happen this school year.
I hope you all had equally wonderful summers and an amazing school year!
