My July Fourth Weekend + Giveaway Winner

Ahh the Monday after 4th of July weekend. Always such a caffeine filled and hazy day, especially after sitting in traffic this morning for 45 minutes due to a structure fire. After working July 4th, 5th, & 7th I thought for sure I'd be scheduled off today. But no, not the case.  I even make the schedule! What was I thinking??

 

I had my fair share of fun on Saturday though, which was good enough for me!

 

We started by doing a little fishing on the boat, then headed to the sandbar to meet up with some friends. After that, we went to Cameron's cousin's 30th birthday bash! It was so fun! They had an inflatable slide, inflatable slip n slide, beer truck, and food truck!

The beer and food trucks were owned by Coastal Crust. The food truck served pizza, s'mores and gelato, and the beer truck served a variety of craft beer. All were super tasty!

Here was our view when we pulled up by boat

 

And here's the party!

 

If only my birthday weren't in December! I've always wanted a pool party!

Wedding Wednesday: Fourth of July Style.

Happy Fourth of July!

For today's Wedding Wednesday, I found some super stylish and fun Fourth of July inspired weddings. How fun would it be to have a wedding on America's birthday and end the celebration with fireworks?!?

Happy 4th of July!

I type this as I sit at work, bored, with 2 hours left to go! Meanwhile, my family and friends are out in the sunshine enjoying the beautiful weather.

Since I work for the community association for Kiawah Island, there are a ton of property owners and their families at the pool today! There are decorations everywhere, a lunch buffet, pool games and a live musician. I would be totally excited about all that - if I could actually enjoy it instead of sitting inside, with nothing to do. I'll stop being a Negative Nancy now though :)

In lieu of Independence Day, I wore this dress (except mine is red, white & blue!..couldn't find an exact picture online):

Yesterday Cameron, Emily, Jonathan, Brady (pup) and I went out on the boat to Botany Bay. It started out really windy but finally calmed down. Saw a few friends I hadn't seen in a while and it turned out to be a really fun day! Waking up this morning at 7am was not so fun. Here are a few pics from yesterday..

Brady & I on the way out

So handsome.

Me & the bff, Emily, who gets married in 2 weeks! Ahh!!

Me & the Mr.

After work I'm headed to Cameron's parent's house for a 4th of July cookout! YUM! That is all of my randomness for now..
