this year we decided to take it easy and enjoy the fourth at home. Saturday Jake had to work, so i went swimming for a few hours with our friends chris and amanda. Jake and I decided to cook out early so saturday night we had hot dogs (hebrew nationals....SO good). We actually made it to church on Sunday, we went to a church right down the road from us, but the pastor was not so great. We aren't sure if he was the regular pastor though so we are trying it again before we stop going there. Since we hadn't eaten out in a week (which is a thing we are doing to save money and be healthy) we went out to johnny carinos for lunch(beats out olive garden EVERY time) and then I took jake to see Eclipse :) . He liked the battle scenes but I think he could have done without all the love triangle stuff. Jakes mom invited us over to his grandparents for dinner and home made ice cream so we went over and spent the few last hours of our fourth with them and his aunt Kim. We didn't see any fire works this year because we just didn't feel like dealing with the crowds, but we did light sparklers :)
This year honestly had to be the best fourth I have had in a long time. Granted it was absent of a huge family gathering, fire works, and cook outs, but spending the whole day with my hubby doing things that we love was better than any of that. Plus, it was calming and not hectic at all. A great, quiet fourth.
