I want a picnic, with friends and fireworks. I want to be exhausted from a day out in the sun and laughing too hard.

There is a chance that this is our last summer of 'summer work' (hopefully, anyway). Though we may still have to work holidays in the future, there is a chance we won't have to as well. And I'm holding out hope for the possibility of creating our own amazing summer traditions.
