independence day.

happy fourth of july!

how did you spend your holiday?

i went to the outlets with my mom to scope out the killer sales,

made holiday treats with my brother (see above), worked a little,

and then barbecued with the fam and some friends.

after living outside the country these last few months,

i've realized how great of a place america truly is.

and how lucky we are to have all of our freedoms and opportunities here.

i love the whole wide world, but i am pretty happy to call america my home base!

god bless.
