the reveal

Just a few sweet photos (from our pre-shoot) capturing the first moment Danny saw me in my dress ... :)

I think it's about time for another link list ...

A tiny victorian cottage. I'm obsessed! This would make the perfect little getaway.

I just love everything about this.

 "Why Fiction is Good For You." I LOVE this!

Bahahaha. New motto? (thanks, Ahlin!)

A mini-golf open. Seriously hilarious.

Bachelorette fans: A young girl just wants Jef to be happy. This cracked me up!

I would love to have an office space like this. It looks so peaceful.

Ingredients for good style.

melty way

You guys! There's a new lunch place in town! And it's all about the grilled cheese! Of course Danny and I had to check it out. We're all about the grilled cheese. The place is called Melty Way. 

Danny got the Reuben and I got the Italian. (I've said it before and I'll say it again, was there ever a more perfect harmony of flavors than tomato, basil, and mozzarella? I submit not.) Next time we go I really want to get the "Sweet Grilled Cheese"-- cream cheese, strawberry jam, and cinnamon bread. Need I say more?

fourth of july festivities

I had so much fun this Fourth of July holiday! For breakfast, Danny made me a patriotic smoothie -- note the strawberry garnish. Thanks, Danny. :) Following breakfast, we headed over to the Dukes to spend time with his family and visiting cousins. Danny went golfing with the guys while I went swimming with the rest of the gang! They had lots of different contests going on at the pool including a drop-lots-of-coins-at-the-bottom-of-the-pool-and-see-how-many-you-can-get contest. 

Once regrouped at the Dukes, we had a BBQ. Danny made two apple pies for it. :) It was perfectly crumbly, sweet and delicious!

Following dinner, we all headed out to Rio Tinto for the RSL game! Check out that little girl's cute patriotic dress!

After the game everyone was invited to run out onto the field while the stadium put on a fireworks show for the fans. It was pretty cool. And because the only thing that can make good days better is ice-cream, we stopped at Sonic on the way home. :)

 

happy fourth!

To all my fellow American readers, Happy Fourth of July! Here are a few patriotic finds from around the web ... 

Fourth of July by Rodney Smith (1992)

 I love these prints from HMH Designs. 

What would the Fourth be without pie?! Katie's Pencil Box has Fourth of July mini pies!

Plus  -- my favorite rendition of a patriotic tune and a patriotic poem.

Have a happy and safe holiday!
