+THE FOURTH

This was the only semi-good picture I got from the whole day! Weak status.

We had the absolute perfect 4th of July yesterday. I've been dying to go watch the fireworks like I used to when I was little...laying on a blanket, cooler of drinks and food, listening to music, and lying on your back to watch the fireworks above.

Well that didn't happen. (hopefully next year) But we ended up having so much fun anyways.

We woke up lazily, Justin went off to hit some balls, and I stayed in and wrote a paper for school (which wasn't that fun). I had him bring me some Starbucks for breakfast and then we spent lunch with his brother's family. All our nieces and nephew were taking a nap, so we just had adult time and talked about drama. The usual.

Then we rushed home so I could make my guacamole for the party we were headed to. We spent the evening with cousins and friends. Swimming, drinking, eating, and going through a whole box of store bought fireworks. It was fun watching all the kids get excited over the popping and screaming of the cherry bombs and glitter fountains. We ended the night by playing a few rounds of cornhole and I can't picture it any better than that.

It was perfect.

But now it's back to reality (even though all day yesterday I swore it was Saturday), and I'm headed to work for a bit, then off to school to turn in papers and sit in a class. Yay for me! Hope your 4th was full of family and friends!
