Proud to be an American!


We spent the Fourth of July this year as usual...With our college friends Jon & Dawn and Kim & Kyle. Dawn's sister, Darla, and her husband, Jeff, also happened to be visiting so it was great to see them too. Because Dawnie and I have been best friends since 7th grade, I sorta feel like Darla is like a little sister to me too. It was fun to see her all grown up and married!


The weather was less than cooperative for an Independence Day celebration. It was cool and rainy. We had our picnic in the garage and then played Settlers of Catan, when we should've been at the pool.We sat in the parking lot of a grocery store to watch the fireworks from the trunk of our mini-van/suv. But in the end, all that matters is who you're with, so it was a fun day nonetheless.
Oh. and, I had some really really cute shoes to wear so that always helps.

Oh, by the way... I got that denim dress from GAP for my trip at the end of this month and love it! I will think of you everytime I wear it. I must say, you fill the top a lot more nicely than me though! :o) ha ha
