Our 4th Fourth

 This year marked our fourth year spending the 4th of July together. We took a break from past busy years (Stadium of Fire in Provo, Engagement pictures in Carlsbad, and hosting a BBQ last year in Glendale) and spent the day with each other. Derek began his ER rotation this month, and has been very busy seeing a lot of interesting things that are keeping him late at the hospital. We slept in, enjoyed an afternoon movie & early dinner staying out of the excessive heat. It seemed as though Arizona was playing a joke on us being much cooler and way less humid then here in Michigan. We rounded out the evening with an ice cream and watching fireworks off our balcony with a few sparklers and a good cry {on my part} being ever so proud to be American.

  3. SUPER cute. I was actually just thinking the other day that this would be our 4th fourth as well for me and my hubs, except he is in San Diego :(

    Sounds like you had a great day.
    Sleeping in and ice cream. It can't get much better than that!
