Cant Sleep & 4TH OF JULY!

So if you are looking at the posting time… it is almost 6:00 in the morning, but the problem is, I have been awake since before 5 and I can't sleep. I don't know why either because we partied so much this weekend, we didn't go to bed until 2 on the 4th and we woke up early and partied all day Saturday so you would think I would be exhausted right??? WELL I AM! But I can't sleep! So annoying! But I have been reading all of my friends blogs so that’s been fun - I mean what else am I supposed to do as this time of day when everyone else is sleeping?

I didn't take any pictures over the Holiday weekend. I am so bad at remembering to take my camera places, and when I do remember - I forget to get it out and take pictures. I always kick myself later when I realize I did it again. But the 4th was fun. It started off with a round of golf. It was amazing golf weather.... well it was a little windy... but it was overcast so it wasn't too hot - and thank heavens because I am still recovering from my way bad burn last week!!! After golf we went to Ihop and had brunch and then met my family at the dollar theater and saw Maid of Honor. I really liked it and Dan kept making fun of how excited I was getting towards the end of the movie because it was so cute. :) Then we went back to my parents house and played a hilarious game of pit! Then we ate dinner and headed out to Sandy city hall. For those of you who haven't been there before - they have a parade earlier on in the day and then they have entertainment and booths set up to watch and do until the fireworks go off. My family and I have been going for the last 5 or 6 years. We didn't go last year because Dan and I had just gotten back from our Honeymoon to New York and we were opening all our presents with both families and then we all went to the Bee's game. But anyway - so when we got there we ran into my aunt and uncle and their family. So that was fun because we ended up hanging out with them too and we played pit while we waited for the fireworks to start (as you can see, my family loves that game). I'm sure the people around us were getting very sick of us yelling numbers and ringing the bell... but we had a blast! Then we went back to my parent’s house and watched a movie and FINALLY went home around 2am.

Saturday started with a round of golf as well but my family came with us this time. It was fun. Then we went and had a bbq at my parents, played games, went Costco shopping lol and went and saw Get Smart.

I love the 4th of July. I love fireworks and as cheesy as this is going to sound, I love the "feeling" of the fourth of July. Everyone has so much fun and there just a feeling of pride in our country and where we live and the freedoms that we have. It’s just awesome. The 4th of July is my favorite holiday and it was so much fun this year - I can't wait for it to come around again next year and I can't wait for the 24th!!!
