In fact, the very next day I called up a couple of my friends and made plans\u00a0to visit the Howard County fair in Maryland. It was actually my first time at a Summer fair, and all I could think about were scenes from the film\u00a0<em>Grease<\/em>, and how truly magical and fun it was to be at the fair! I couldn&#8217;t think of a better start to my\u00a0summer. Another summer highlight was spending a weekend <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/08\/24\/away\/\" target=\"_blank\">at the beach<\/a>, another first, at least in the United States. I stayed with my family in <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/09\/06\/vacation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ocean City<\/a> and enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/09\/06\/give-thanks\/\" target=\"_blank\">some sunshine<\/a> and yummy waffles at our oceanfront hotel. I also enjoyed getting work done outdoors in the beautiful Ellicott City, a view I get to see almost everyday and will never stop being grateful for! And of course, my usual lunch under the green umbrella at the Little French Market in Ellicott City. Drawing hearts in the sands of Ocean City because of how <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/09\/10\/sunrise\/\" target=\"_blank\">the beach makes me feel.<\/a> \u00a0Summer light and summer afternoon readings, two of my favorite indulgences at their best! I really miss relaxing at this stunning sitting area in Ocean\u00a0City surrounded by flowers! I especially miss the view from our oceanfront patio where I spent my nights listening to my favorite summer tunes and watching the stars, and my mornings gawking at <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/09\/10\/sunrise\/\" target=\"_blank\">the beautiful sunrise.<\/a>\u00a0The biggest highlights of the summer was making a trip all the way to the West Coast for my birthday weekend, but wait for the wonderful tales of wine tastings, cruises, and surprise <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/08\/01\/august\/\" target=\"_blank\">birthday<\/a> songs coming soon!<\/p>\n<p>So even though my summer really began in the last few weeks of <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/08\/27\/calendar-august\/\" target=\"_blank\">August<\/a>, it was beyond amazing, and I&#8217;m happy I stopped complaining about it and did something!\u00a0I&#8217;d say I did pretty well considering my initial concerns for <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2015\/08\/26\/summer-twenty-fifteen\/\" target=\"_blank\">Summer 2015.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0I thank God for a wonderful Summer 2015, and I never thought I&#8217;d say this but&#8230; OMG I THINK I&#8217;M READY FOR <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2014\/09\/30\/a-case-for-fall\/\" target=\"_blank\">FALL!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How was your Summer? &lt;3<\/p>\n<h4>P.S It been one year since I started the <a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2014\/08\/08\/my-story-part-2-here-and-now\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Here and Now<\/strong><\/a> Challenge!
