July Calendar Shot

July! It's already July! It's crazy how fast this year has flown by. I'm pretty sure I say this at the beginning of every month, but it's true...before we know it, Christmas will be here again! :D

Today's (Disney) Wordless Wednesday is all about the month of July. When I think of July at Walt Disney World, my thoughts are taken to EPCOT and the American Adventure! To me, July is all about the birthday of our country and celebrating our freedom. My family loves the Voices of Liberty and we used to enjoy watching the (now extinct) Fife and Drum Corps. There's just something about our country and patriotism that puts a smile on my face and a hope in my heart! :)

Today’s Wordless Wednesday theme is: July Calendar Shot
Host: Deb at Focused on the Magic






 

As a matter of fact, the Voices of Liberty were an integral part in making our Disneymoon an incredibly magical experience...definitely one I'll never forget! 

In honor of the upcoming birthday of our nation and for anyone who's interested, I found an amazing video of a 4th of July patriotic performance by the Voices of Liberty from a few years ago at EPCOT!

Weekend Madness

So, I woke up this morning to the incredibly sad news that One Man's Dream is closing at HS in July (here). Say what?! I sure hope this isn't a permanent closure. I loved that they included a tribute to the man who made it all happen - it took a man to start it all, the mouse didn't create himself!

Now that I got that off my chest.......on to my weekend! :)

Yesterday, I shared about our 5K that was held this past weekend. Well, despite the craziness of Saturday morning, my weekend consisted of so much more!


I spent Friday night blowing up balloons for the 5K with a friend...thankfully, I was able to go to bed a little earlier than normal!

My 5K morning began at 4 a.m. We began setup around 5 a.m. and thankfully we had a ton of help!

After the race, we showered then drove to Texas with friends to meet up with my brother and his wife. We had two plans for the day: girls shopping and boys golfing!


We ended up in Katy, Texas at the outlet mall there. Our shopping trip was a success, too!


I've been eyeing  a Kate Spade bag in this color for a while now - I saw they had one, so I texted my husband and he said yes! 


I was an innocent bystander....I promise!


Melissa and Kayla also purchased shoes! It was a great day overall if I do say so myself! :)


Our mid-afternoon snack included pretzels from Wetzels. I had no idea that asking for an "Almond Pretzel with Caramel Dipping Sauce" actually meant pretzel bites in a bag. Oh well, it was delicious but definitely not what I wanted or asked for. The girl behind the counter argued with me, so I just let it go. (Great, now the song is stuck in my head....)

On a positive note, it was delicious!! I ate half and saved the rest for another day - and they rewarmed in the oven just right! :)


Oh Blue Bell. Come back to us, please....



While we shopped, the boys spent time at a Top Golf range in Katy. They had a blast and didn't stop talking about their experience the rest of the afternoon! 



We had dinner in Katy at the Cheesecake Factory and it was delicious! 


After dinner, Jason and I split a slice of Turtle Cheesecake!


Sunday was our patriotic service at church where we paid tribute to the men and women who helped pave our path for Freedom. We also celebrated our country's birthday - it was awesome!



Somewhere in all of that madness, I also spent time playing with my two favorite little girls! 

I didn't even have a chance to "run" on Saturday but managed 10,000 steps by 10 a.m.! At the end of the day, I was around 20,000 steps! Boy was I tired and definitely enjoyed a Sunday afternoon nap!

How was your weekend? Do you like to shop?

I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating our great Nation and those who died so we could be free!

What are your plans for today? My brother and sister-in-law are still in town, so we are going to have lunch/dinner together then hopefully watch the fireworks downtown. :0) Have a fabulous day!
