Happy 4th of July everyone!!
I hope you had plenty of delicious food and surrounded yourself with those you love. With the day being almost over, I wanted to express not only my appreciation for our founding fathers for declaring our freedom but also my appreciation for our troops who have served/are currently serving in order for us to have this continued freedom. A big shout out goes to mine and Kyle’s good friend, First Lieutenant Nathan Crankfield, who was recently deployed and is currently serving somewhere in the front lines in the Middle East. Instead of spending time with his family and friends, he’s spending his time protecting our country and our freedom.
Now with that said and with switching topics a bit, I would love to do a personal weekend recap for you! Kyle and I had a jam-packed weekend. Saturday was filled with boring adult things like house chores and grocery shopping, but in the afternoon we celebrated with a family friend whose son graduated from high school last month and ended the night with a drive-in movie.
We saw Despicable Me 3 which I have been a huge fan of from the beginning of the franchise. What can I say, I love the minions! However the date night got off to a rough start and we were so distracted from other things going on that we didn’t really get a chance to enjoy the movie itself. Luckily, we can always give it another go once it’s uploaded to On Demand in a few months. All in all, it was still a good date night!
Sunday, we spent the day lounging by the pool, and what can honestly be better than that?
Yesterday came all too soon, and it was back to work for the both of us. Kyle works for a student loan company and I work at a law firm. The managing partner of the firm I work for bought everyone lunch who was there as a thank you for coming in the day before a holiday, and then he let us leave around 3 in the afternoon. So overall, I really can’t complain about my Monday!
Kyle and I already had plans to go see fireworks last night with some friends, so it was nice getting off work a little earlier to have more time to run errands before having to leave for the fireworks.
Speaking of fireworks, does anyone else think that they’re absolutely magical?
There’s just something so mesmerizing about them. It has to be one of the last things that brings me as much joy now as it did when I was a child. I remember looking up at them last night, completely in awe that people can create such amazing displays of lights. Honestly, what better way to celebrate our country’s independence? Anyway, here are a few pictures that I took from the fireworks show last night!
So what all did you do this holiday weekend? See any fireworks, take any cool pictures, spend time with family/friends? Let me know in the comments below!
