Fourth FTW

As many of you know, the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. My family goes to our lake house and it's always one of the highlights of my year. I love to celebrate. And I love tradition. Praise God my fam knows how to celebrate, especially the 4th of July. Each year several families come with us and we tube, ski, light hundreds of dollars of fireworks and eat the best food. It's also completely appropriate to wear red, white & blue with stars and stripes. Since the majority of my wardrobe consists of these things, I wasn't lacking in the least.

This year three of my friends got to come with me to celebrate! First, my friend Bethany came who is one of my sweetest friends. She encourages and challenges me so well. My friend Thomas came as well. We led lifegroup together for a year and he is one of the most refreshing people I know. Next my friend Jeff came. I have Jeff to thank for several things - including my introduction to Justin Bieber (you should really check out his new album by the way; it's gold). But really, Jeff is so fun, adventurous and sets the culture wherever he goes! I loved every moment with these friends! We laughed a ton. This week has been the highlight of my summer. Below are several pictures from the trip!
