summer wrap up.

'summertime sadness' is a good way to sum up my summer. with more than one significant loss in my life, this summer is a chapter that i am ready to move forward from. despite these struggles i have (somehow) come to know a stronger version of myself. a self that i already thought was pretty strong. i also came to find that there was still some joy to be found within the sadness. so i thought i would focus this post on those joyous moments from the summer...
so i can let the less joyous moments fade into the distance.

jazz in the garden

screen on the green... i went 2 weeks in a row!

playing soccer on the national mall
  (fyi...i've kinnda wanted to do this since i moved here!)

a quick trip to nyc!

a visit to the shore!

i was lucky enough to spend the last weekend of summer in the hamptons with some of my best friends from here in dc! not a bad way to round out the summer!
