I've Got That Summertime Sadness

Ah, internet, how I have missed you. I'm not even going to attempt apologies for not posting. Instead, we'll pick up where we left off! 

The summer has been a busy one. Along with working at a summer camp as a lead teacher, I took a trip down to Miami:

I've never been to a place before where I just spontaneously started sweating simply because I was breathing.  That is Miami in June, I suppose! Either way, it was a great trip with some of my very best friends.

My husband turned thirty this July, so there was a big celebration for that. It took months of planning, and months of being sneaky. I'm not the best at keeping fun secrets, particularly if I'm excited about them, so it was a real triumph that I didn't tell my husband anything! And as a gift, I'm taking him back to Disney! Whoohoo! I'm Disney obsessed, I wont lie, but I rock my obsession and own it. Thankfully, my husband is equally as enthusiastic about Disney! In celebration of my obsession, here is my Anna/Elsa pair:

I know I posted Anna in my last post, but now that the pair is complete I wanted to highlight them together! Anna and Elsa actually sold together as a pair which was exciting!

Of course, I attended Otakon in the beginning of August. Otakon is a staple of the summer but unfortunately this year we were less then pleased with the event. The convention, simply put, has outgrown the convention center it resides in. So for every panel there was a lengthy line, whether you arrived early or not, and pre-reg...well, let's not even go there. All I'll say about that is my friends and I waited six and a half hours to get our badges. Unpleasant.

On a more positive note, our cosplay rocked! We did Fullmetal Alchemist:

Our Armstrong (who you may recognize as our Tenzin from last year) was a huge hit. He couldn't walk ten feet without getting waylaid!

And now, summer is over. I'm sitting here in my robe, wallowing in my misery that tomorrow I'll be back at school setting up my room. Now, it's not too miserable of a thing. In fact, I love setting up my room for the new year! It's always a sad thing when a summer is well and truly over, and this year I wasn't ready for it to be over since I worked the whole summer. Alas.

I promise I'm far more consistent at both locations, but now that summer is over and it's back to the ol' grindstone I'll be posting more regularly here as well!

Until next time, Internet.
