On the 3rd, my gorgeous wife and I went to watch the fireworks with her parents, which was pretty fun. We had red velvet funnel cake (delish) and the rain managed to stop for an hour; just long enough for them to shoot off all the awesome fireworks. It took close to an hour to make it back home through all the traffic, but it was worth it.
For the 4th of July, we went to Bethany's parents' house and had amazing ribs, baked beans, deviled eggs, potato salad, and my fantastic wife made a cheesecake with cherries, blueberries, and whipped cream on top in the form of the American Flag! I was sure full after all that.
For the 5th and 6th, we went to Alabama to visit a bit with my grandparents and spend some time there. I took Bethany to Sumo for delicious sushi, then to World Market because she had never been to one before, and she practically lost her mind in there! It was so cute watching her zip from one thing to the next excited about everything in the store :) We got a chance to see the Birmingham Temple as well while we were there (it's right next to their stake center...lucky people :p )
We came back on the 6th and started cleaning up the house, especially the guest bathroom (previously known as the cat litter room), so we now have a guest bathroom! And I got to hang a sign on the door (that we bought from World Market) that says 'Water Closet.'
As I'm typing this, Bethany and I are listening to The Eternal Blessings of Marriage, by Richard G. Scott, and I highly recommend it!
Well, that should catch us up for a little bit.
But I would like to take a couple minutes to say that my wife is priceless. She is more than I ever wanted and much more than I deserve in a wife and eternal companion. I am grateful every day for her being in my life and I thank my Heavenly Father for the opportunity to even meet her in this lifetime. I love you, Bethany :)
You two are a very inspirational couple!
