"Funny how a Melody reminds me of a memory." -Stephanie Johnson

It's crazy how fast summer has crept upon us here in Europe.  It has been very beautiful, like nothing I have ever seen before.  Although with summer here, I never expected all these memories and feelings rushing back into my mind.  The feeling of the breeze, along with the smell in the air.  It brings me back somewhere in my mind.  Memories and flashbacks of past summers at home.  It reminds me many times of the best summers I have ever had.  Along with memories of summer, it also brings many memories and feelings with Melody in the summer.  It makes me happy having a second here or there pondering on these great memories.  Memories of laying in the sun on a hot summer day then having to dart to work, memories of staying out late with our group of friends senior year, memories of late movies nights, memories of going to the beach and rushing back for work and still getting there late, closing Friday's and Saturday nights at Friendly's, memories of meeting Underoath and Showbread memories of Church picnics, memories of superhero names, memories of staying out until 5am, memories of late night adventures, memories of canoe trips, hiking, and laying under the stars after the hurricane, memories of youth retreats at Otis, memories of long walks on summer nights. You will always remind me of the greatest summers ever.  I will always love summer so much, especially because it reminds me so much of you.
