Weekending

Despite the fact that for most people this was a "3 day weekend" for the hubby and I it was just a normal run of the mill weekend.  Thankfully we both had Friday, the actual 4th of July off so we were able to spend an entire day together before not seeing each other for the rest of the weekend.

Our 4th started out with me sleeping in a little (I closed at work the night before) and then getting up to "help" M make a corn hole set for our next tailgating experience.  I had no idea how much work it was going to be to make this and I am also not so sure how much help I actually was, in fact I am pretty sure that at times I frustrated M more than I actually helped him.











After helping M for a few hours I made a quick trip to the store so that I could make a red, white and blue dessert for an impromptu BBQ with one of our favorite families.  We had been planning on stopping by the V household to drop of a gift for Baby L, but when AV graciously invited us to come for dinner we knew we had to accept!




Dinner was fantastic as it is always nice to have a relaxing evening catching up with friends.  We were even lucky enough to catch some fireworks from the comfort of their patio!



Overall the 4th was great and then it was back to work for us on Saturday/Sunday.  M had to work 7am-7pm both days and I of course closed at work so was working until after 1am... meaning we didn't see each other for 2 days.  But, that is ok, because I am just thankful that we were both able to be off on the 4th and to get to spend some quality time together!

What did you do for your 4th of July weekend?

Today I am linking up with B Loved Boston and Champagne & Suburbs for their "Weekending" Link Up!

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July all!! Many thanks go out to all of of those who have made this country what it is today.  Without those who have fought for our country we would not be the land of the free and the home of the brave.  So many thanks go out to all of our troops who have fought for our country and who continue to fight for us.  There are not enough words to express my gratitude.

I am going to keep this short and sweet because it's been a long weekend, but wanted to leave you with a song that makes me cry almost every time I hear it because well it just touches my heart.

Enjoy!



A special thanks goes out to my G-big (LS) who is in the Navy; EC and JKD who are friends of my g-big who are also in the Navy; DK (the fiance of one of my besties SS) who is in the Army; TL who is in the National Guard...I really can't thank you guys enough for all that you have done for our country.  Love you all <3
