4th of July weekend in Arkansas!!

What a good 4th of July weekend, 2010! I moved into my new house in Bentonville, Arkansas on Friday, July 2nd. Landon welcomed me to my new home with a cooler filled with tasty beverages -- best bottle of champagne!! We had a toast to my "one-way trip to Arkansas from Dallas"... what a good feeling after making the 712 mile round trip drive many a times! Saturday, we started the morning off right with some waffle house and then I jumped into my huge stack of mail while the cable guy set up my internet and cable... then off to a fun day of shopping for house furniture, decor and a new TV! We then grabbed some BBQ on the patio over off the University of Arkansas campus and then went to see Twilight: Eclipse.

4th of July!! Indie woke up to a spoiled birthday treatment of a belly rub from me, a back scratch from Landon and a romp around her new backyard - this was her *golden* birthday (4 years old on the 4th). Landon and I went to Atlanta Bread for my favorite Vanilla Nut coffee and then on to church. They had a good service including a presentation of the colors, an appreciation for all those that have spent time in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, National Guard and Coast Guard and even some red, white and blue confetti shot out into the congregation! That night we went back to the church for an AWESOME fireworks show by the water and the crosses -- it was seriously like a 20 minute straight finale tied in with music. Right before the fireworks show, 79 people were baptized!! We bought our own fireworks and shot them off outside my house for my new neighbors! : )
