I just want to say...

that I love you Benjamin.
One night you whispered to me,
"You are my family now."
I just love you.
I went crazy {for the first time in years} with my camera.
And I was so proud of my festive fourth of July outfit!...
{Please excuse the laundry hanging in the back! Big opps!}
Yay for a random ring shot at the stoplight.
It's a sparkly firework after recently getting it cleaned!

We ended up having a peaceful outside BBQ dinner with his parents, went for a mile walk with one of their dogs as we watched the neighborhood sky being lit up with a few fireworks at a time. It's times like these that we live to see and experience. It is peace. Maybe even pure joy. You feel it in your bones as you walk in the cool and breezy summer night air, at the cozy dinner with people who have so much love to give, as you watch neighbors say goodbye to their loved ones as the party is over, when you look up at the sky and see sparks you only see once a year and call it a good day. We ended the night sitting on my driveway watching the rest of the neighborhood make sparks in the air. For those of you in the States or for those of you who celebrated the fourth or wherever you're from and whatever you did today, I hope you found peace in your day.

P.S.
What's your summer plans?
If already said and done, post what you did
and the most memorable moment that gave
you the "this-is-a-good-day" moment.

Bellanouva, thank you so much! I just love getting comments on posts, it's a thrill.

Yes, I'm so glad you like the layout. I've spent way too much time designing it..even some of my posts. But it is a joy and its very soothing to do so!

Awe, well, I am sure that special time will come for you as you are waiting! :) Best wishes and cheers to you with life, all it comes with, and particularly with finding a job. I also checked out your blog and really enjoyed it. It's good to see a blog that isn't just about "wedding stuff," ha. It's very beautiful and original. Nice job!
