Fabulous Friday

{Eclipse premiere -in I-MAX!- with some friends!}

Friday's are my favorite day of the week.  This is for a couple of reasons that I'll let your imagination dream up.  I'm sure we all have our own, right? ;o)  This is an exciting Friday, though, because my in-laws are coming, it's a holiday weekend, AND...ready for it?....I'm going to see Eclipse AGAIN at the drive in movie theatre with them and some friends!!!!!!!  *swoon*  Going to the midnight premier at 12:01 am on Wednesday was probably the highlight of my week, all things considered, and I'm looking forward to seeing my dearest husband in his Twi-fan mode.  He's a closet lover, but just because it's "entertaining."  *eyebrow wiggle*  Uhhh huh!  hehe. 


I'm also looking forward to celebrating this holiday with my family.  The older I'm getting, getting married, and playing countless patriotic concerts, I'm beginning to realize how truly important this holiday is.  I hope that doesn't sound terrible, but I think as a child/young adult, we view it as a family celebration, and not a celebration of life/pursuit of happiness/freedom and justice, etc.  Laying in bed last night, I realized that I have NO 4th of July decorations.  None.  Not a flag, not a candle, not a sign, not a plaque not anything.  I'm WAY overdue in making something to show my support of our freedom and the people who fight for it every single day.  So this means that I'm looking for ideas.  If you have some, please let me know.

barren, and not homey, but we're sure happy!}

On a more completely random topic, I have been working really hard to make our home more...homey.  I know that sounds silly, but we've been married for a year and a half and between both of our hectic schedules the house has been decorated, but the finishing touches haven't been completed.  We started off with just a porch, then this year I found a REALLY old dresser at Goodwill {still needs it's facelift}, rocking chairs from Lowes, a lamp and tiles from Goodwill, a couple of planters, and some awesomely fabulous home-made-by-me pillows.  All that's missing are a few finishing touches, you know?  I REALLY want to do something like this amazing project that was posted on Life in the Pitt's Creative Therapy session.  What do you think?


I hope you all have a marvelous Friday, and a safe and family-filled weekend!
