Fourth

Our Fourth of July was a blast! And it was so fun having my parents here to celebrate with us! Our day started out with a nice picnic outside.

 Don't my parents look like they are 30 years old?!

We complete each other. I have the red and white on and he has the blue on.

Then off to the parade right by our house!

These two dance teams were AWESOME.

 And we got to enjoy a lovely firework show.

When we went "antiquing" I found some beautiful pages out of a botany book from 1850. I wanted to find a cool frame for them but couldn't find anything cute enough. So I bought this frame and painted it a light green.

And while I was looking for frames I saw this cool one for ten bucks and painted it as well.

Now my parents are in DC visiting Cady. We miss them and love them!!

Nathan and I had our six month anniversary on Thursday so we went on a dinner cruise on Friday! It was so much fun. Good food and dancing, and the crew was so nice. Everyone was saying, Happy Anniversary and they would ask how long we've been married and we'd say six months, haha, we felt a little silly.

 Our boat was called the Spirit of Chicago

 They put rose petals on our table.

 Such a fun night! After our cruise we went and picked up my parents from the airport. Today we went "antiquing" today. I seriously cannot wait to decorate my own home.

After "antiquing" we went and saw the movie Larry Crown. Interesting movie, I liked it, but not crazy about it. We love having them in town.
