I had my first ever fourth of july this summer. We sat on some grass and ate brownies with chase as we watched fireworks. I love how everyone just parks anywhere, in the middle of the road and sits on any random patch of grass like "its fourth of July, of course this is fine".

A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to go to Washington, DC for the weekend. Such a cool place to visit! There's so much to do and see and its all in beautiful buildings and gorgeous green parks.. oo we loved it! We'll definitely be going back there at some point in the future.


Derek has applied for dental schools so interviews will hopefully start rolling in. only heard from one so far but its early still.

The Moxie office olympics have begun this week which means team challenges everyday. Things like holding your breath underwater, buy the cutest baby clothes, eat the most chicken wings (the grosses night ever), dodgeball... etc. So far Derek's team are killing the others so we're happy!

We're also very into making homemade pizzas this summer. We are pros! They are the most delectable thing, we should open a pizza place. We made a Mexican pizza (with a stuffed crust!) and then a chicken and mushroom alfredo mmmm.
Derek's birthday is on tuesday, I'm so excited about it because in all the time we've been together we've celebrated two of my birthdays and not one of his. So this one is going to be amazing, i have lots of surprises planned which will probably mean another blog very soon. Anyway other than that i have been scrapbooking a lot. I have finished two now- our wedding album and our honeymoon disney album.
So that is the month of July in a nutshell. Its gone fast but been lovely as ever. Love you all!
