Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Fourth of July Weekend- Sunday

We started the day on Sunday by making our annual stop at KFC for some fried chicken to take to the Potluck up at Wildwood. It was a really gray day and the temperature up there is always at least 10 degrees cooler than in town, so it was gray and cold! Therefore, not too many photos from up there- we mostly just stood around the fire and tried to keep warm... and ate! Also- there was a rousing game of UNO for a while.

Steven and I went on a small walk to see the fish viewing window:
This is kind of a cool photo because you can see under the water through the window!

Then we went back to the house and relaxed, ate some more and watched TV. Steven worked on the internet at the house and we got ready for fireworks! Steven always gets me my required "sparklers" for the beggining of the show. This year he also got the "Champagne poppers" and so I am doing sparklers and Tara is simultaneously popping a popper. We're dorks. Look at our faces! LOL!

These are some more dorky pictures of me and my sparklers, but I posted them because we finally have a camera that can do the "double exposure" or what ever it is that gets the cool glow from the fireworks. If I had any idea of how cool these pics could be I'd have tried some more stuff. Next year we'll know what to do!After the kids play with the sparklers, Steven gets to work on our little show! I tried taking good pictures, but the smoke kind of keeps them from being awesome. We'll have to try to find a big show over some water next year to get some really good shots.His finale was pretty awesome though. He's a great firework show guy! Thanks for putting it on for us Steven! He's a real keeper. :)
