4th of July Weekend

We had such a great weekend with my parents. We all had Friday off, so they came in for the long weekend. I was so excited for them to come to visit. It's so nice to have a room for them to stay in- the apartment just wasn't so conducive to having visitors. They drove all this way and brought a TON of my old stuff with them for me to go through. We got some projects done and made about a million trips to Home Depot. I now fully understand why they call it home- it's becoming wayyy too familiar to me. Ugh.

Saturday night we ate BBQ, baked beans, fresh corn, and watermelon. The perfect 4th of July meal. To my family, it's really not summer without watermelon. And I had so much fun cooking with my mom in the new kitchen. After dinner we went to watch the fireworks (which were amazing and went on foreverrrr). It was fun having them here with us. And we got to take them to our church Sunday morning. Brandon and I have really become so comfortable here, so it was good to show my parents our little life here that we've grown to love so much. If only they just lived a little closer...


This is what Dad and Brandon were doing for a good bit of the time. They got to do some fun plumbing projects while Mom and I cleaned. They got a lot done, and the bathroom looks so much better. I'll post pictures of that soon. The weekend just flew by because we were so busy, and it was so good to have them here for a few days. But I was so sad to see them go.
