Life Never Slows Down

I haven't updated in a week or so, so I decided today would be as good of a time as any...

Since I last posted Mike and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary! I can't believe it has been 7 years already!!! We pretty much laid low...

We actually had a pretty relaxing week as we stayed home some and Mike worked from home one day. Thursday Mike left work at 12:30 and we met him for lunch after I finished up my workout. We came home for a much needed nap for all because we were in for a long night. We all got ready after rest time and drove to Addison because Mike's CEO had invited all employees and family there for a cookout and watch fireworks. We had a great time and the fireworks were great however, it took us forever to get out of Addison so we didn't make it home until midnight. I was not feeling well by the time we got home. I was so upset because I was supposed to do another 5K with a couple of friends as well. Mike and the girls were going to watch a friends daughter while she and her husband ran as well so I really felt horrible that I wasn't up to running.



I finally started to feel better around noon so we went ahead and ventured out to our little town's 4th of July celebration where the girls had a great time until the thunder and lightening hit. They made a flag, and necklace, pet some ponies, and played a few games. They also got their faces painted but in the end, the rain won out and we had to leave. We thought about going back after the rain for the fireworks but we were all still worn out from the night before and the girls really needed some sleep so we just watched it from our back door. I think we could see 5 or 6 different shows going on. Our little town's fireworks looked impressive from what I could tell.



Today (Sat) we got up and met Jennifer at David's Bridal so we could get Brittany's Flower Girl Dress. She loved trying on all the dresses of course and we finally settled on one and ordered it and she can't wait to wear her princess dress with the crown (although she won't touch it until the wedding in Jan - lol). Brittany and I then went to Sweet and Sassy because she has been begging to get her ears pierced so I thought we would check into it while in the area. They were able to get her right in and she was so excited. She did so well while they pierced them and she absolutely loves having earrings!!!! We met Daddy and Kiley at lunch where they told us that they had been at the Home Depot (first Sat is kids workshop) where Kiley built a birdhouse. We came back home and relaxed and we are looking forward to doing absolutely nothing tomorrow!!!
