4th of July

I love the 4th of July and everything that it represents! It truly is my favorite holiday! We had an amazing 4th of July this year and enjoyed spending the day together!!! (This is the first year since we started dating that Gregg has been off on the 4th and we have gotten to spend the actual day celebrating.)

We decided to rent a hotel room for Saturday night in Las Colinas. We got a suite at the Omni Mandalay on the 25th floor with a balcony so we could go out and watch Irving's Fireworks. The room was awesome and it was great to be away from home and to not have to worry about traffic and all of the heat. We picked up sandwiches for supper on the way to the hotel and brought our own wine and drinks to enjoy! We decided that it would be fun to get dressed up for the night and just enjoy a evening together! The Irving Symphony Orchestra played patriotic songs before the fireworks started and so it was great to get to hear all those songs!

And a couple of silly pictures from our evening!

FIREWORKS!!!

Happy 233rd Birthday America! We are so proud to be an Americans and feel so blessed to live in the land of the free! Thank you to all the men and women of the military past, present and future that have fought for our country and our freedom!!!

Happy 4th of July to everyone! Hope that yall had as great of a day as we did!
