4th of July & last weekend with Jess

The rest of my trip visiting Jess was so much fun, and I didn't want to leave. I thought I was bad the first time leaving..ohhh noo...it was 200 times worse this time! I was a hysterical mess at the airport, so much so that people were staring at me! haha..but we have just over a month and a half left until Jess comes home for good so we're almost there!!

Our 4th of July was alot less eventful than last summer when we went to downtown DC. It was so much fun, and we ended up almost being arrested and we were run down by cops in front of the Capital. What can I say? That's how we roll!

So we had a more relaxing day this time. Jess and I slept in and then headed to the pool for a couple of hours. We both are reading good books so got really into them and poor Jess was a lobster!! I luckily didn't burn, but I felt so bad for Jess :(

After the pool we had our own little BBQ on Jess' balcony which was amazingly good. Jess makes the BEST burgers everr..I'm not lying you should try one if you ever get the chance! Once we were done eating we headed out to see some fireworks. We had planned on going to this huge bash called the "star spangled spectacular", but couldn't get anywhere near it because traffic was so bad. So, we instead found a random huge open field, and set up camp. Our friends Chris and Steph joined us and we had a blast meeting random people who also decided that field was a good spot. The fireworks were great, and from where we sat we could also see two other fireworks displays from two other nearby cities! So we saw 3 shows! Gotta love it.The next night Jess and I went to a T-Bones game. They're the semi pro baseball team in Kansas City and their games are so much fun. We had really good seats in the front row in Left field.
My poor back couldn't take more than 6 innings in those seats, so we walked around the entire stadium and ended up just watching the final innings from Center field right above the Bull Pens. The T-Bones lost but it was a really close game. Right after the game was done they shut off all the lights and had a fireworks show! I never get sick of them.
After the game we headed across the street to the new Legends mall that was just built there. It's a huge outdoor mall that is absolutely amazing! They were building it when my parents still lived there, soI haven't seen it until now. We had fun exploring alot of hands on exhibits that are just scattered throughout the mall, and enjoying the atmosphere.


All in all it was such a fun trip! And now I am counting down the days until Jess makes the trek back home for good! But for now, I'm going to keep myself as busy as possible and my number one project right now is the nursery!! I'll post pics as soon as something is really started on it.
