4th of July Recap 2013

July 6, 2013 | blogging, family

Bobby and I woke up and hit the gym before driving to my parents how for a little 4th of July BBQ. We had to drop the dogs off with them since we are going to the beach today! My dad already had the grill fired up, and we had a delicious lunch.

I wore my flag shoes I wear once a year.

Friday morning, Bobby and I went for a seven mile run. I can still be patriotic on July 5th, right?

We had a great day with my parents, and ate lots of good food. It was just a quick visit, but we will be back in a week for my birthday! Today we are on the road headed to Destin, FL. The dogs are being watched, the house is being watched, and we are ready for some fun in the (hopefully) sun. It’s been quite rainy this week so I am praying it clears out. I can’t wait to tell you all about this great place we are staying. Yall are going to love it!

Have a great weekend with your family and friends. I will still be blogging so don’t worry!

QOTD: What did you do for the 4th of July?

    Unfortunately I worked as here in Australia we don’t celebrate 4th of July, but I can’t complain as we do celebrate Australia day in January.

    Love your shoes they are too cute 🙂 So jealous of the warm weather you have. Right now here it is freezing!
