    Happy 4th of July! I’m very proud to be an American – even though I hope to become as “un-american” as possible when I move to France in September!

    This is definitely my favorite holiday, since it’s all about being proud of the freedom’s we’ve been given, spending time with family and friends, and it brings everyone together! Have a fun and safe 4th of July!

    Tell the pilot I said thanks for representin’! I grew up surrounded by military, with my daddio in the Army, and I know the lifestyle takes A LOT of sacrifice. I’m sooooo glad you have him home to celebrate with this weekend.

    Thank you Gina! We had a relaxing hot Sunday 😀 Since 2 weeks we have more than 30°C! That’s a lot for us here 😉

    Our Sundays are normally lazy. Sometimes we visit our families, but mostly we spend time together and relax. My fiancé is also working and traveling a lot, so we appreciate our lazy Sundays 😀

    I hope you had a Happy Fourth of July 🙂

    Special thanks to you and your hubby for all you do to support our country! I get all teary when I think about families that sacrifice so much for our country and it’s even more wonderful to get to “know” those special people through the blog. Thank you both!
