Dear Summer 2012

Dear Summer 2012,

I am already counting down the days until your pretty little arrival. I promise not to let you get away from me like Summer 2011. I promise to soak in the little moments more and enjoy your long summer days. I promise to make the most of your light-filled nights, even on the weekdays. I promise to fall asleep while reading on the beach, and wake up only because it's time to shower for cocktails. I promise to cook more seafood-filled dinners with Mr. C, and take Otto on long swims more often. I promise to swim in the ocean at every chance I get. I promise to treat you much better than the Summer 2011...because Summer 2011 is very mad at my over-committed ways. It's a life lesson, and one I am not taking lightly.  And while I am on my soap box, Fall 2011 and Winter 2012...get ready for me. I am soaking you up like sugar.

xoxo,
Abby
