{Ashley} First day of Autumn! (1 photo).

Today is the first day of Autumn! Story has it that if you catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, you’ll have good fortune throughout the winter. So go outside and grab a leaf out of the sky!

Now that summer is officially over, I am thinking about what I did over this past summer and what has happened in these past few months…

In no particular order, here are a few of the big & smalls of my summer of 2011:

• Made a trip down to Ohio for massive amounts of Roman candles.
• Celebrated my birthday by shooting said candles at my friends; I ended up with a lovely scar.
• Played disc golf (and not well).
• Took a vacation up north to Indian River.
• Got a new phone.
• Visited Mackinac Island for the first time ever, and watched the sun set behind Mackinac Bridge.
• Rode in a brand new Chevy Corvette.
• Played mini golf with my sister & best friend.
• Watched the Lake Orion fireworks with Renee.
• Rolled my Corolla into a swampy ditch.
• Had a girls’ day with my sister doing dinner, a movie, and ice cream.
• Sang to a baby turtle and eggs.
• Made brownies with my boyfriend.
• Welcomed my brand new niece into the world.
• Went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival for the first time!
• Visited the Rochester Cider Mill for yummy cider & doughnuts.

What did you do over the summer of 2011?
