It's been almost a solid two weeks since my last post and so much has happened! It seems like when you're blogging about your summer, you want to do more exciting things with it to write about. I've been keeping busy with work and summer school, but boy do I find the time to fit things in!
About two weekends ago, mom, dad, and I took the boat out for a day on the water and some fishing. We almost didn't catch anything at all until a baby shark grabbed my line! I know it's not that exciting to most people, but I was tickled. I felt really bad because the hook went right into his little eye and I hope I didn't blind the little guy forever. It was a cool experience none-the-less.
Too excited about it.
Last weekend my 19th birthday fell on Father's Day, so it was a double-celebration weekend! We went out on the boat again (I could really get spoiled with that) and swam and fished. We caught nothing, but it was a good time. This trip it was me, mom, dad, brother, Nana, Grandma, Grandpa, and my Aunt Carol. Nana and mom were looking for shells and y'all will never guess what Nana found...unless you're my friend on Facebook, then you already know. It was a conch in it's shell! It was so cool! Nana was so excited about it. I mean really, how often do you just come across one of those on the waterway? Not too often.
It was the coolest thing!
After being on the boat all day, mom, dad, brother, and I cleaned up and went and celebrated a little more at Outback. Oh, the way to my heart is bread and steak. Amen. It was some really nice family time! Of course, some #hatcherfamilyselfies were involved. Would y'all expect anything less?
Selfie masters.
Brother!
I ended the night opening some very special birthday presents from my parents. It is definitely the year of the monogram for me- which is my favorite thing to do to anything anyway! I received a monogrammed gold bar necklace, a monogrammed bracelet with an anchor, pearl, and 'L' on it, and a monogrammed jewelry box to stick it all in! I'm a little obsessed.
Love, love, love.
My future roomie, Laura, was the SWEETEST thing and sent me a birthday package from Huntersville! We live about four hours away from each other, so it was such a surprise to get something in the mail! I was so excited! She sent me a picture of us from the Lake Norman camping trip we took a few months ago, a sweet anchor ring, and a mason jar full of sand with shells and coral from Japan! She took an awesome trip there a few weeks ago- so sweet of her to think of me!
From the birthday package!
I didn't forget my sweet dad through my birthday goggles! I got him a pair of Croakies he had been eyeing while we were shopping the other week and a presh picture of him and me for his desk at work. He's the best dad in the whole entire world!
Twins.
These past few weeks have gone by so quickly. Before I know it, I will be packing it all up and moving it all back to Charlotte. This summer has been one of the best by far and I'm so excited to see what UNCC has in store for me this upcoming semester! I hope everyone's Father's Day weekend was great and all the fantastic dad's out there had a great day too! I officially have 63 days left of sweet summertime.
