There's nothing better than summer. Don't get me wrong, I like each season for its own reason, but summer is the best. I love the long days, where it stays light out until 9:30-10:00. I love being able to have my windows open and let the fresh breeze blow in. Most of all, I love all the activities that a person can do outdoors during the summer. I like the fishing, camping, boating, hiking, campfires, swimming, and the awesome tan I get during the summer.
I also love baseball and I follow the Minnesota Twins like it's my job. So my love of summer and baseball has me very excited for outdoor baseball in Minnesota. I am very excited to experience outdoor baseball in Minnesota.
This summer also has me very excited for my wedding coming up in just over two months. The invitations are sent and the RSVPs are piling in. This is making the wedding very real and I cannot wait to get married.
Overall, I love summer and all that it brings. The only bad thing about summer is that it doesn't seem to last as long as the cold, dreary winter. However, I do enjoy it, however brief it may be. Thanks for reading.

Reflection
So, another birthday has come and gone. I am now 23 years old. Aging another year has caused me to reflect on this past year and where I am in my life.
Since my last birthday, I have gotten engaged to my best friend, my other half, the person I cannot live without. We received the blessing from our friends and family and we have planned our wedding. As we are the first wedding in both of our families, John and I have done basically all of the planning on our own. We have researched and asked friends about planning a wedding, and we have taken the initiative to plan ourselves a wonderful, memorable wedding.
I moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and completed an internship at Avera McKennan Hospital. I applied myself and learned a lot about nursing and the working world. I also spent the summer going to a Twins game, camping with my family, and hanging out with my fiance. I also started working at Hy-Vee part-time and really enjoyed meeting new people at my job,
In the fall I started my last semester of school. I worked part-time as a Patient Care Tech at Avera and as a checker at Hy-Vee as my source of money through school.
In December I graduated from college with my degree in Nursing. I spent the next month studying and I passed the NCLEX in February. On February 16, I started my nursing career at Avera McKennan. I completed my eight weeks of orientation and now I am all on my own doing the nursing thing.
All in all, 22 treated pretty well. I have had some major life events happen in the past year, and I am very satisfied with where I am at right now. Looking ahead, I am very excited about being 23 and the next round of firsts I get to experience. I already know I will experience a wedding, being a wife, living with my husband, a trip to the Hills, a honeymoon, and many other exciting things that I don't even know about yet. Sure, no one's life is perfect, and there are always ups and downs, but this last year has been amazing and I look forward to all the new opportunities in the future. Thanks for reading!!

Minnesota Twins
Being a Minnesotan, I have always been a Minnesota Twins fan. However, I did not follow baseball too closely until I was in high school. Since I was 15 years old, I have attended a couple of twins games every summer and I follow them pretty religiously.
Summer is not summer to me without some baseball. I am very excited because my fiance and I have tickets to go to Target Field in July. I have heard wonderful things about the new Twins' stadium and I am thrilled to see how it looks and experience outdoor baseball.
I know there are some skeptics out there about outdoor baseball in Minnesota, but I would take the freezing rain and blustery wind over the dreary teflon roof in the Metrodome any day. The Metrodome is the only stadium I have watched the Twins play in, and I can only say one thing...I will not miss it!!! So my advice to you, my readers, is to go to Target Field and catch a Twins game, there's nothing better!
