4th of July

While the rest of the world geared up to celebrate America's 236th birthday and their independence, the ladies of my office geared up for...well...Magic Mike.  Justin gave me his blessing to have a girls night out on Tuesday and so I did!

The invitation we printed and handed out :)

Ten of the girls got together and we had DELICIOUS food at the Brick in downtown Phoenix, accompanied by delicious drinks, shots and sangria! It was absolutely hysterical and perfect girl bonding time!  Some of the girls took a shot called the "Justin Bieber" which was fruity, pink and fantastic.

Some of my favorite ladies in the whole
world with our Justin Bieber shots!
Red cherry sangria.. yummy!

Eunice's first try :)
After dinner and drinks, we headed out to see Magic Mike.  The movie wasn't as great as we had hoped it would be, but the men were definitely pretty to look at!  Overall, it was a really fun evening and I'm so happy I got the chance to hang out with some of these girls outside of work.  I can't wait for our next girl's night out, whatever it may be.

On a different note, July 4th in Arizona this year officially sucked!  It hasn't rained here in, oh, 5 months.  Not even a single drop.  Today, we were overcast, cloudy and it rained on and off all day! Of course, the one day every American expects it to be hot, sunny and perfect for fireworks.  We barbecued anyway, made pasta salad and had Meghan and Christopher over to swim in the cloudy weather.  Aside from the fact that it was sorta chilly in the water, we had a really fun afternoon.  It was nice to have a break in the middle of the work week, but Justin and I are not excited to head back to work and the gym tomorrow.

Our pathetic pooches, sleeping soundly
next to each other on the bed!
Until Justin and I decide to have kids, our dogs are our life
and we love our little Fergi so much!  She's our princess.

Look at this happy boy :)  Sweet man!

Happy 4th of July everyone!  Hope it was safe and that everywhere else in the US had great weather!
