Happy 4th of July

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy 4th of July! I love 4th of July because I LOVE LOVE LOVE sparklers (as you can see in the picture above)! We bought some tonight for the 4th of July party tomorrow that Mike and I are going to after church. I am very excited about the party because my family is coming, and a lot of my friends are coming! If you don't have anything to do for the 4th of July, after the 6:15 service at Long Point, we are having a party! I hope everyone will have a safe 4th of July, and don't get stuck on IOP for too long if you go see the fireworks out there! The traffic is always so bad!

Also, this will be Mike and my second 4th of July together, and last year we didn't get any pictures together, so it will be fun tomorrow at the party and I will be sure to take a lot of pictures! The first 4th of July (2006) we were dating he was in St. Louis with his family, and in 2007 I was in Costa Rica on a missions trip, and last year I didn't take pictures!

Today my mom and I both had off work, so we went to the waterpark with Beth(sis in law) and Jack(my nephew). This was us eating lunch, and the second one is Jack eating some oreos, which he loves! We had so much fun! :)

Here are a couple of pictures of the 4th of July in 2006 when my best friend Stephanie lived in Charleston, she has moved to Florida for the past 3 years for school. We went all out the night before, we made halter tops out of tshirts, we painted our toenails, and bought over the top accessories, it was a lot of fun, and we got some great shots! :)
