Today is the first official day of Summer and I'm psyched. 

Although I'm still WAY behind on my endeavor to get into super sexy swimsuit shape, I'm pumped up for a summer in Austin. It's one of the best places to be when the temperatures climb. There's water fun to be had all over town. These are the things I'm looking forward to doing this summer:

1. Paddleboarding

It's a hot new thing on Town Lake this summer. You can rent these things by the hour. I'm determined to try this and get a hot famous person bod doing it. It was all the workout rage with celebs like Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, Alessandra Ambrosia, and Jennifer Garner last summer. So, it's about time for me to give it a whirl. I expect to be bad at it. Balance + Upper Body Strength isn't something that seems like it will be a cinch for me to master, but I can't wait to try!

2. Snow Cones!

There is a famous (or at least in my book) snow cone stand in Austin called Sno-Beach. I plan to go all the time. The line is usually long, but it's worth it. They make some flavors with Splenda, too! 

3. Barton Springs Pool

Barton Springs is a sweet place that I haven't been in years. The pool is spring fed, so the water stays super freezing cold all year long. Even if it's 100 degrees outside, the water is shockingly cold, but extremely refreshing. It's a fun place to lay out and people watch. Want to go like right now.

4. Friend's Wedding in Colorado

One of my fave buddies (same one as the bachelorette this weekend) is getting married at a glam Westin resort in beautiful Beaver Creek, CO in July. I'm excited to escape the Texas heat a big and explore the mountains for a long weekend. I think the weather may be perfect. It should be a super fun trip, and is really my only proper vacation planned right now. 

5. New home and best friends....

I'm getting close, dangerously close, to having it all figured out. Cross your fingers. I need all the prayers and well wishes you can possibly send...

Happy, Happy Summer friends! Hope you have exciting things on the horizon!
