Boom! Hiss!

Louisville was my temporary home last weekend. I was there to celebrate a dear friend's wedding, which was a blast and completely wore me out. Grant didn't come because there wasn't much down time and an extra plane ticket would have cost a lot. Here is a picture of Karli and I right before she tied the knot!

Beautiful bride! :)

Grant and I haven't had to spend too many nights apart, especially in the year since I finished grad school. It was one of very few times that Grant has been home while I was away. I always thought it was harder to be the one at home. I think that was true last weekend, especially because we had a busy schedule for the weekend that kept me occupied. What we definitely know is that we'd prefer to be together. I had a chance to catch some rest for a couple of days before the 4th, which is one of my favorite times of the year.


We spent the 4th of July with Grant's family. We hosted everyone at our house and then went over to shoot off some fireworks. I didn't take as many pictures as I planned on because I was having too much fun!

Red, White, and Blue

We have loved playing with our nephew, Kellen. He enjoyed watching just about everything. He loved all of the fireworks, especially the loud ones, which he repeated "Boom" after. He also enjoyed the snakes. In fact, he got so excited that he started running around in circles saying, "Hisssss" and asking for us to light off snakes.

Grant and Kellen playing around a smoke bomb.

They were running in circles around it.

Happy Independence Day! (even if it's a few days late)

Love, the George family

    1. She did a good job of picking out the bridesmaid dresses. They were really pretty! :)

      We had a good day, but it was a rushed week because of my trip. It'll be here before we know it!
      Love, Cindy
