july 4th 2016

Even after of years of being together, this was the very first Fourth of July that Austin has had off where we could celebrate together. It was one of the best July 4th's ever! 

We started the day off at the beach with his family (the most perfect way to start),grilled out, and then headed to St. Augustine to hang out with some of our friends. One of the best parts was that his best friend's mom owns this darling vintage clothing shop, The Way We Were. I seriously wanted everything. 

 Yea, we're totally the cutest!!

 So these sunglasses and hat I was able to snag at the vintage shop, The Way We Were (thanks to Austin!!)!

 These pants I really wanted- oh my gosh they made me feel insanely skinny again. But they were a bit out of my price range (considering the other things I got and a wedding to pay for.....). But next trip- for sure!

So this last picture was actually taken two days after July 4th, but it was so much fun I had to add it. It's become our tradition to go to WOB during the summer for 80's and 90's trivia. This past week we were actually in 1st place the entire time (until the last question). I still think cheating was afoot.....but what can you do? 

Such a great summer- and less than 2 until Austin and I get married!!! Yikes!!!

fourth of july 2014

Fourth of July this year turned out even better than I thought it would. It started off dreary and my pool was closed last minute (thanks kid that pooped in the wrong place), but it ended wonderfully. My parents invited two of my friends and I to join them for appetizers and drinks at my mom's work to watch fireworks. The view is absolutely amazing!!!

The next night a bunch of us went to a baseball game, where it rained almost the whole time, but we stuck it out for 13 innings to watch the fireworks show after. Two nights of fireworks = amazingness!

4th of july flashbacks

I was going through pictures, searching for something completely different, when I ran across a bunch of old Fourth of July photos. It's funny looking at yourself from years past- I feel like I was sooo young, but it also doesn't feel like it was that long ago. So much has changed since then (and looking at my friends that are pictured, so much has changed in their lives as well). I honestly wish that I had more photos from other years too, but I'm just going to try and be intentional about taking more photos from now on (and labeling them via date- super important for OCD me).
