I miss having burning eyes every day from too much swimming in my over chlorined pool. I miss laying outside listening to Yellowcard on shuffle mode trying to get a tan. I miss eating goldfish every day. I miss waking up to the sun beaming down on my every morning. I miss running the same path through neighborhoods every morning. I miss listening to SoCo on Diana's iPod every time I went running. I miss sitting on my roof with my close friends talking about anything and everything. I miss staying up until 7AM talking to you guys online about life, boys, friends and more. I miss the 20 hour drives to Ocracoke Island listening to Yellowcard, SoCo, John Mayer, Sarah McLaughlin and Counting Crows over and over again. I miss standing on the edge of our fairy taking us across the Atlantic Ocean to Ocracoke Island watching the waves and just thinking. I miss taking pictures of every pretty flower, sunset, sky, cloud or anything else that I saw. I miss biking to the Surf Shop with three of my best friends (who I miss SO much might I add) just to look around, when we've seen everything in the store at least 4 times. I miss surfing and boogieboarding every day at the beach until our stomachs and feet couldn't take any more. I miss rubbing Aloe Vera all over ourselves because we got burnt so badly at the beach. I miss eating snowballs at the Slushie Stand. I miss Howard's Pub. I miss Brendt. I miss dreaming about what my sophomore year of high school would be like. I miss thinking for hours about if I wanted to play basketball or run cross country in the fall. I miss 8 hours of volleyball a day with 9 of my favorite teammates. I miss being able to run out my back door and shoot a soccer ball at my kickback net for hours at a time just to let out frustration. I miss juggling on my front lawn until I broke the record that I recently set the day before. I miss running sprints at the lake, trying my hardest to avoid goose poop. I miss bonfires at Bec's lake, eating s'mores, falling out of chairs and throwing scaulding hot marshmallows at each other. I miss driving in Diana's car with the windows down blasting music on the way to the mall. I miss laying on the blanket in the park in Detroit looking up at the beautiful fireworks in the sky with you. I miss Driver's Ed class, laughing at Mr. Lee, and trying our hardest to pass without doing anything. I miss walks to Yoz on the trail. I miss watching every women's soccer game of the Olympics, crying because I want to be them so badly. I miss spending hours every day surfing the internet for the right college to go to. I miss dreaming about what my sophomore year of high school was going to be like. I miss the carefree spirit that summer brought. I miss laughing until I cried just from looking at you. I miss running to the mailbox at noon every day hoping to find a letter or postcard from you guys. I miss mowing the lawn in the blazing heat, only to recieve 10 bucks from my dad and a pat on the back. I miss running down the street and stopping at my little neighbor's lemonade stands, and remembering when I used to be that kid. I miss summer. Can't wait till next year...
