The Fourth!

Happy Independence Day!

I haven't written in a while. I apologize.

Today, Boyfriend's family came up for a cookout. I made macaroni salad (my mom's recipe- always a hit), salsa, peach dump cake (I posted about this on my other blog and it has been a huge hit so I just keep making it) and a dessert called "Berried Treasure." Haha. Boyfriend's mom brought an oreo pie, cherry fluff, hot sausage and the buns for those and the burgers Boyfriend made. It was a huge feast and we were all stuffed. I don't know when I'll need to eat again.


Okay, let's be honest... it'll probably be in like twenty minutes.


In addition to eating, we also hung out with Boyfriend's niece, the Duck, who will be two this month. She is so funny. We are always entertained. She loves to run races in the yard, which is hilarious to me. We also blew some bubbles and she swam in the kiddie pool they brought with them. She let Auntie Erika put her feet in the pool, which was super nice in the hot, hot weather. Heehee. Before she left, she was helping me in the kitchen, drying dishes and wiping down things (tables, chairs, knees of unsuspecting people, etc). What a kid.


Boyfriend's parents brought up some bikes they had hanging around their garage that they didn't want anymore, so that is exciting. The bike that is now mine was Boyfriend's sister's in, like, the nineties. It is awesomely pink and teal and blue (I think). I am psyched about it. We need to get helmets and we'll be ready to ride! YAY!
