July 4th weekend recap

Well, unfortunately I don't have any pictures to post of this weekend because I cannot find the camera anywhere! I'll add them later if I find it. Either way, here's a little recap of our fourth of July weekend.

I absolutely loved every single day of our long weekend. Friday we slept in, went to the gym, did some antique shopping, laid around the house, went out to eat for date night, and topped the day off by going to Hastings and looking through NYC trip guide books. We leave for vacation a week from today, and I am so stoked!

Saturday we slept in yet again. After we got up we ate some lunch, then went to Panera to plan some more for our trip! This will seriously be the most planned for trip we've ever taken. lol. We just have so much we want to do and see while we're there, and we want to make the most of our time. Saturday night we watched the movie Defiance (which is really sad but I still highly recommend it) and then headed down to the park/lake to watch the fireworks display that the city puts on every year. When we got in the car we realized that a storm was blowing in, so we ended up having to sit in the car through the storm and wait until it was over before they started the show. It was so fun to just sit out on a blanket at the lake with my favorite person and my favorite puppy and watch the fireworks. It really was a great show and so fun and romantic. Pictures to come later:)

Sunday we went to church, then decided to head to the city to do some shopping. It was so fun getting to shop together. We both found some really great deals on stuff we really loved. I love shopping with my hubby when we are both trying (and buying:). It's so much more fun than when I'm the only one and he's just waiting and watching. We got some great clothes for vacation, and I'm especially excited because I can wear most of mine to work when school starts also!

So, that about sums up our weekend. I can't really put into words how much I enjoyed getting to spend three full days with J...just relaxing and having fun together. I just love life with him. I can't even imagine how great it's going to be to spend a whole week in New York just the two of us. We finally decided that for our anniversary night celebration we're going to go see Wicked. I've never been to a broadway show so I am so excited. I've heard it's a great one to go to also. I'll have to do a review when we get back.

I hate that I have been posting so little the past few weeks. I have just been feeling like there is not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. It seems that blogging is one of the first things that gets bumped. I still read all of my favorite blogs, but by the time I get done reading I don't have time to write. I know things are just going to get more crazy once school starts, but I'm going to do my best to bump it up on the priority list. I love posting, and I love being able to look back at posts in the past so I really dont want it to go by the wayside!

I'm going to try to write about a couple things from the past couple of weeks such as my best friend's birthday (at which I got to meet up with my blogging buddy Megan), and my new gym membership that I am absolutely loving! We'll see if I can get those out before we leave! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and a great start to the week!
