Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone is starting off with a great Independence day…and if today is just a regular Monday for you, then I hope your day is starting out just as great!
So despite having a day full of two parties yesterday, I was in total bad blogger mode and barely captured any of our day. I did, however, manage to take a few pics of the food (of course) and some friends.
Food
Dessert (+ an unphotographed cupcake)
Sangria…I luuuuurve me some sangria.
Friends
This is Jay with our friend, Scott. Scott said he wanted a shout out on the blog. “Hi Scott!”
And that about sums up yesterdays photos! We still had a lot of fun.

This morning, Jay and I spent some time lounging around in bed before finally getting up to eat some breakfast.
We had no iced coffee prepared, so I ended up prepping a batch of some last minute iced coffees. Just as delicious!
For breakfast, I’m sort of a nerd and felt compelled to eat something festive.
A vanilla Chobani with strawberries, blueberries, and a couple tablespoons of Love Grown Foods granola.
A deeeelicious breakfast…with a side of creeper.
Today, Jay and I have another party to go to and may end up making a trip to the movies…if I can get my butt in gear and ready on time.
Gotta get movin’!
