Homecoming, also known as the best night-ever-of-all-time, was a super fun night where Aidan and Izzy went out with our friends for dinner before and a sweet treat afterwards. More importantly, it was the night where Izzy finally snapped the one-wish willow and made Aidan fall in love with her :).

After being invited as a couple (score!) and conveniently matching to Gabby's birthday party, Aidan and Izzy had a great time where they both got to hang out as a couple in their friend group. After staying till the end, Aidan drove her home. Before the drop off, we had a romantic moment where Izzy said "I love you" for the first time, and Aidan did the same.

Being invited (again as a couple) to Thomas's moms wedding, we had another awesome night filled with bad dancing, awesome food, and connection between Thomas's (now-ex) girlfriend and my own. Sandwhiched by McDonald's and some awesome drives there and back, Thomas's mom's wedding was certainly a core memory.

After Aidan's idiocy lead us to losing our previously planned aquarium date, we were finally able to make up for it with a school-funded trip. After a nice pondering of sea animals, we then went to blaze for a mom-funded pizza meal and listened to Skye yap for a while. After almost getting cut short by Izzy's college pitch to bums, we got to take a walk around main street, after which we were once again urgently cut off by Izzy's mom who mandated she talk to said bum. 

At the end of the summer of sunshine and rainbows, the inevitable day came - Izzy had to leave. After being invaded by Gabby, we spend a while sitting together and being sad. Then, I said goodbye to her parents and began sobbing as I left. After sobbing uncontrollably into Izzy's arms, we took a couple laps around the neighborhood before another tearful goodbye. Driving home, I listened to "Let it Happen" by Tame Impala and sulked in my sadness.
