Our family celebrated the fourth of July on the third of July...we like to be punctual. After the fireworks show, as tradition dictates, we go inside and devour dessert.

The last three weeks of my life have been a lil roller coaster ride...and in case you did not know, on what was supposed to be my last day of employment, because I got laid off, I got a job offer and promptly began the new job the very next day.

Needless to say, after fireworks on the third of July I helped myself to a serving...or two...of every dessert available! Apple pie a la mode, brownie sundae...mmmm, mmmm, good!

When people eyed my plate horrifically, Dave, with out missing a beat, reminded my gawking family members that I had had a stressful week!

Then, the very next day, Dave...'the Man, the Myth, the Legend', suggested that we take a spontaneous trip abroad...

...and so we did!

This is how we felt when we left:

But, after one second of this:

We were at peace!

Yay for short get-aways!
