long weekend.

I am so glad to ahve a long weekend to spend with my husband and family. It's amazing how focused I can be on work during the week.

Steven has been wonderful to come home to. Dinner cooked or almost cooked. Dishes done. Laundry folded. And he has finished Chapters 3 and 4 of his paper. Just 2 more to go.

I have written 30 more thank you notes from all of our wedding gifts. And I have to say that my favorite gifts (don't tell anyone) are Vera Bradley placemats + napkins and the large pitcher that matches my dishes.

Both of these were unexpected and I am SO thankful for the loving family and friends who have given us so much.

Last night Steven's brother spent the night with us. I crawled into bed around midnight and there were still going strong playing video games. It was a sight to see :)

Tonight we are going to my parents house for the 4th of July pool party. I'm so excited to play with some fireworks!

Happy 4th of July!
