Michael and I went on a date to IKEA yesterday. It was my first time ever going and oh my word, I was in heaven! I have been wanting to go for quite some time now, so I was very pleased that we were finally able to go together. I loved being able to walk hand in hand with my favorite person and point out all of the things we adored. We also had lunch in the little cafe area, which was perfect for people watching. Our food was absolutely delicious. The next time you go, you ...
My Final Year – For Now.
All over social media there are people exclaiming in excitement, "I'm a senior"! For some people, college isn't summed up into 4 years and there can be many reasons as to why. Well, I am one of those people. When I had graduated high school in June of 2011, I already knew where I was going to college and had a very good idea of what I was going to study. I knew what I was passionate about and had a few expectations of what I would like to get out of my college experience. I was also very ...
Starbucks With The Kids
Last week the kids and I went to the Nike Outlet so they could get some new sneakers for school.

As long as they were in his size, lime green and gray, he was satisfied. Now Elizabeth on ...
Seasons
The seasons that we go through in our life are temporary times that shape us permanently. We all experience seasons of joy, pain and even the indescribable. Right now, I am in an indescribable season of life. One day I am beaming and extremely positive, and then the next I am overwhelmed and completely down. My thoughts and moods come in waves of disgust or winds of hope; one extreme or the other. I have been feeling like I am going insane and have been so down-hearted about it all. But, ...
Goals For August
Happy August, everyone! Just wow - I cannot believe how fast this summer is going by. In less than a month I'll be in my final year of college, with a lot to look forward to.

Wanting to make the most out of this last month, I have set up a list of goals that I would like to work on and hopefully accomplish in these last days of summer. Personal // - go on a ...
Welcome to Coffee With Summer!
Coffee With Summer was founded in July of 2013, but this past March I decided I wanted to give it all a new look, feel and meaning. I started brainstorming some new ideas, was getting very excited to relaunch and then life happened. I was overwhelmed with both of my jobs, finishing up my spring semester and all of the other odds and ends to my busy schedule. I grew disappointed and a bit discouraged at one point, but I am glad to have pulled through those rough weeks to have finally gotten to ...
