hi

happy independence day america! well, yesterday anyway. as i am currently writing this, on july 5, there are still fireworks and firecrackers being set off – which i wouldn’t mind, except for the fact that it’s 10pm and they’re super loud and i’m hoping to go to sleep soon. i feel like a crabby old woman lol anyway! i had such an incredible time at home for 4 days. it was the best! i got to spend so much time in the sun with friends and family and i really needed that little vacay. we made a little trip to marquette for the day and went hiking with kylo. i’ll have another blog post with those photos later this week or weekend, but we literally took like 700 photos.. sooo.. that’s a lot to dig through.

i say this way too often but – i’m obsessed with sparklers! – seriously. i think they should be used all year long and not mainly on the fourth of july. below are a few photos we took as we were waiting for the fireworks yesterday night. as usual, i felt so rushed! i feel like we just didn’t have enough time to get as many photos in as i would have liked. we were trying to beat the sunset and we ended up being late to the fireworks, but it was fun regardless.

we had these colored sparklers, which were cool and all, but they were really smokey. i’m not sure if i liked them as much as the classic sparklers. my friend kirsi’s jumpsuit is from asos (must be sold out because i couldn’t find it on their site anymore) and mine is from tillys and is currently on sale – if you were wondering.
