Honest to blog?

I love the Fourth of July! It's been my favorite holiday for as long as I can remember. That's why it was so bewildering to me that I haven't actually partaken (partook? partaked?) in any Independence Day festivities for three whole years. I blame Graham. Just kidding (kind of). I accept 50% responsibility for not setting anything up since we've been dating. This year, when someone proposed (hmmm that's a nice word...) an idea, I jumped at the opportunity. Lucky for us, I mean ME, it turned out perfectly. We ate dinner at Beaches on the Columbia River and watched the fireworks from our table on the deck. It was totally laid back and perfect. I am so, so, so happy that we had the opportunity to do it.
