Our 4th...

Steve McNair died.
And it poured.

That made it a little odd.

However, we still had a good time. Anthony and I went to Bed Bath & Beyond where we got new stuff to spruce up his new apartment (he tells me I have a knack for finding stuff that fits him perfectly. Really, I'm just good at spending money that's not mine :P) Then we went to his parents house mid-afternoon. We were joined by both sets of his grandparents, two aunts, an uncle and cousins. Lots of fun, even if we did all continue running back to the tv to watch the breaking story in downtown.

Yesterday we did something that I hope will continue to be a tradition--we went to St Edward to hear the symphonic band and watch their amazing fireworks show. We went last year, although we hadn't started dating yet...actually, we hadn't even confessed our feelings to each other at that time. So it was kind of fun to return to the same place exactly a year later as a real couple :0)

I may have a picture or two later...my friend Erin took a couple of us last night. But for now I'll sign off because I truly need to WORK today. Argh.
