random facts about the 4th on the 5th

 

 

I finished reading the whole bible!

I finished reading the whole first book of the bible!

I finished reading the first 16 chapters of the first book of the bible!

At least I’m up to the challenge – thus far =)

Are you?

Our fourth of July was just lovely.

We had a nice Sunday morning churchin’ it up, followed by an afternoon of house cleaning, July 4th inspired painting, and friends over for fireworks and a delish dinner made by the best blue-eyed chef in the tri-county area.

 

{Snapshot of the inspired painting in process – more on this and the final product tomorrow…}

 

I’ll go ahead and apologize to you for an entire post made-up of cell phone pictures.

I’ll make it short and semi-sweet.

Back to those friends of ours… I think they’re names were Ginny and Andrew.

If they were a celebrity couple, I’d nickname them “Couple GAGA”.

“Couple GAGA” and the “Strawberry-Blondes” enjoyed the best fireworks in all the land:

 

Amazing, right? It gets even better…

Me and G laughed pretty hard at these fabulous photos I took to remember the 4th of July. You’ll just have to take my word for it that they were a little better than this.

 

After that seriously stunted re-cap of our 4th of July, I’d now like to leave you with five random facts on the fifth:

1. The 4th of July is our “I-love-you-anniversary” – it’s been 5 years since we decided to say such things.
2. I’m the one that said it first, he was the first to say the “too”.
3. I’ll be announcing the four winners of our giveaway tomorrow(!)
4. Four is my lucky number and my absolute favorite day in July AND February.
5. I finally took the leap and bought a sewing machine today =)=)=) Stories of my adventures in becoming sew domesticated to come.

 

As I write about all these firsts, fours, and fives – I’m looking across at this adorable scenery:

It’s puppy love♥

 

I’ll try to make tomorrow a whole lot less random, I promise.

{Except for the randomly drawn giveaway winners!}
