I know that a lot of you are enjoying a four day weekend for the Fourth, but I’m back to work and class today. The Fourth should also be a pretty calm day – the elevator at my house has been broken for over two weeks now, which makes hosting any sort of holiday gathering a little difficult!

Over the weekend, though, I went to a bridal shower and bachelorette party for a cousin who is getting married later this summer. The bridal shower was in a small shopping center near my house, and after the shower, I wandered next door into a local boutique I’d never been to before called Serendipity. I already can’t wait to go back – they had so many cute accessories, and I picked up a new leopard bag that I used that night at the bachelorette party!

The bachelorette was really fun – we went to dinner and then to a paint night party. I’ll spare you a picture of my painting, since I am definitely not an artist, but we all had a great time.

Enjoy the holiday – I’ll be back on Wednesday!
