so long, sweet summer

summer is practically over (i can't believe i just said that) and i just bought popcicles last night (i can't believe i just admitted that).
my morning runs now require my head lamp and reflective vest;
i'm now receiving new! fall recipes instead of refreshing summer ones;
i now walk past the grounds crew blowing leaves and other dead debris into sacks;
and, there's a buzz around campus because classes have just begun--
summer is fading into fall, but i'm not too sad about it.
i'm going to soak up what's left, and enjoy it, and effortlessly transition into fall.

what do you do to celebrate number one?

we run 20 miles;
enjoy lunch on the patio at Le Nonne;

stroll around The Gateway; and,
scarf down a hot turkey sandwich and chocolate shake at the Little America Coffee Shop!

here's to many more happy anniversary's - happy number one, bri!
