My mom and I at Aunt Ruth's house for the annual 4th of July extravaganza!

Our 4th of July was great, although Jesse did have to work so I'm sure he wouldn't say the same. ;) I went over to my Aunt Ruth's to spend time with family as I do ever year on 4th. It never gets old. It's fun to see how everyone changes in only a year's time. The kids grow up fast! I remember going when I was kid. It is always so much fun! A pool for everyone to hop in when they get too hot and plenty of yummy food. There is always a ping-pong table and Volleyball net set up. Although I don't really participate in either of the events, it is always fun to watch. I hope the tradition keeps on when we have kiddies! After Jesse got off work, we went to a friends for a BBQ and fireworks! The food was great and fireworks were amazing. Who needs to go to the beach or the Landing when you have great friends who put on a show in their own backyard?? They even had a "grand finale." It was a fun time but a very tiring day for me. I went to sleep around midnight and woke up by Jesse calling me at 10:30 to make sure I was still alive because I normally don't sleep that long. :) We always text each other in the mornings to say "Good Morning" but mainly he likes to make sure that I am okay since I live by myself. He's sweet!

Sunday was a relaxing day. I didn't do too much but Jesse worked. After he got off, I met him at his house so we could check out our new house!! Things are coming along so fast. They have the drywall up so it's really looking like a house. ;) My parents met us out there to check it out. We are so excited for it to be finished. There are a few other houses being built on our street right not. We walked around in those just to see what they are like. No one has bought them yet, they are just spec homes but when our neighbors move in, I can say, "I walked around your house when it was being built" lol I doubt I will say that. hahaha Anyway, after that we went to my FAVORITE restaurant, La Napolera, with some friends. We had a great time. They are the ones that are moving in across the street so we were talking about house stuff the whole time. It was so much fun! Overall, it was a great weekend and its back to the daily grind tomorrow. Work is a little overwhelming right now. The new banking center is very different from my old one so it will take some getting used to. I have worked overttime the past 3 weeks. Good for the paycheck, bad for the body. I am so tired everyday after work that I don't feel like doing anything productive which is not good. Especially since I need to start packing since I have to be out of my apartment by the 31st of this month. yikes! I wish I could just move from the apartment to the new house but it won't be ready in time and I wanted to save that one months rent money so I am moving back in with my old roommates (my parents, lol) for a little while. Luckily, my old roommates are so sweet that they won't make me pay any rent while I am there! A few conditions, one being that I have to bring Max! haha that is always my mom's condition. "You can come over as long as you bring Max." ;) Well, I will finish up by posting a few pictures from the weekend.
