Another title that came from another song. Look, sometimes, I have to draw inspiration from sources outside of my head.
I think it was when I was working on the yearly video I do for my family each Christmas that I ran across this song by Shawn Mendes and Tainy. I immediately fell in love with the song and it took me back to the summer when my husband and I started dating, though we didn't spend ANY time at all on the water and we weren't quite 18.
Back in 2018, my husband and I had the chance to go to Seattle, Washington to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We were married in late November, and a road trip through Idaho that late in the year didn't seem like a smart idea, so we decided we'd go in August and end up at the Space Needle on the same day he proposed, 20 days later.
In July, a few weeks before our trip, my family had a family reunion. Each family was given a color to wear to help differentiate who belonged to whom. My mom got purple. I was over the moon, I love purple. Anyway, it was a fun reunion and we had a great day and we made some good memories.
On our trip, we wore our purple shirts on our proposal anniversary and we really just had an amazing trip. Any time I see these shirts I still get all sorts of warm fuzzies. It truly was The Summer of Love.
The July 2023 Gingerscraps Challenge reward is called: Dreaming of Summer and I instantly fell in love with the purple. Big surprise, huh? I also decided I'd use the 'selfies' I had from our family reunion. The summer of 2018 really was a good one in my book!
