Happy Birthday America!

Yesterday was the 4th of July. America's birthday. Many people celebrate with families, fireworks, BBQs, and wearing red,white, & blue.... wait! That's how I celebrated America's birthday! Bradley & I spent the day at his mom Barb's house for the annual party with his mom's side of the family. It's a great day for the family to get as many people together as they can. We enjoyed great food, playing in the pool, laughs with family, and time spent reminiscing about years before. We got to enjoy the youngest members of the family (a 3 year old and a 4 year old) enjoying their 4th of July and being little "fish" in the water. Throughout the US there's a massive heat wave going through, and Wisconsin is being affected by it too. Yesterday's weather forecast was well into the 90s, with the heat index... close to the low 100s... that meant swimming or being the AC for me! We stuck it out though and enjoyed being with everyone throughout the day. After being outside in the heat all day, Bradley & I did not feel up to going to the fireworks downtown BUT we can see them from the back side of our house; so I decided to watch them from the guest bedroom window. The best of both worlds- AC & Fireworks.

I can say that the ONE annoying the thing about the 4th of July being on a Wednesday was that I had to go back to work this morning. It was very difficult to get out of bed this morning when I got to sleep in yesterday. On a brighter note though, there's only one more day of work and then we get the weekend!

Wisconsin is still in hot weather, over 100 with the heat index, and Bradley & I are crazily going to the Wisconsin International Raceway to watch his cousin race tonight. Ohhhh it's going to be a hot one!

We're off to the races!......
