The Difference Between Me and My Husband

The difference between me and my husband is...
he would like to fall asleep every night to Sports Center, replays of NFL games from years and years ago, America's Game and golf highlights.

I would like to fall asleep to Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Degrassi: The Next Generation and What I Like About You.

And We Frolicked Around in Our Summer Skin

After a very long 4th of July weekend Jonathan and I headed up to LA to see Death Cab for Cutie at the Hollywood Bowl. It was a near perfect night. We sat in the last section possible, but couldn't have been happier. In our section W (for Witt) seats we sat out the in the beautiful summer night and took in all the people around us. I smiled and sang along to every song, and both of us looked at each other a dozen times and said "I love this song".

And then the fireworks came during the last song, and it was the perfect ending to our evening. I can enjoy a good fireworks show, but don't really usually care too much about them. This fireworks show (that went along with song) was amazing, and I automatically became "that" girl who takes photos of fireworks.

That's What She Said

Today...in between eating lunch at Bagels and Brew and perusing Target (two very American activities)...I saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. I have never seen it before, and when I got out of the car and walked over to it - my voice hit new octaves of excitement!






Then...of course...we had to jump in front of it!







My 4th of July morning as a St. Hilaire...

Last year Katie asked me to go to the Lake Forest 4th of July Parade with her, but I overslept and missed it. So this year when Ange told me she goes every year and her parents enter a float - I knew I needed to be there. So I woke up this morning and headed over to Ange's house, and all remaining members of the family (among some others) not on the float loaded up and walked to the parade route. We were quite a site with our wagon full of blankets and snacks, and rolling cooler full of drinks for a 1 hour parade.
I soon learned that although watching the parade is entertaining the real reason you go is to wait for the entered St. Hilaire float to pass by.

So we waited...

and waited...


and waited...

Ange said as soon as the float comes around the corner we had to get up and run over to be closer, so we stood up and waited.


The first view of the float...including Troy Aikman on the very top!


Luke got promoted from videographer to driver this year - and fit the part so well!

A lot of people on the float!


This is Ange's whole family running to take more pictures of the float.


Ange excited about the success of seeing the float.


Our work here is done. As soon as we saw the float we packed up all of our stuff and walked back home.

Wearing Our Thinking Caps


Today (due to the looming extra day off in the week just hours away from us, as well as it obviously being summer outside) we have taken a few breaks to get all our sillies out before putting our heads down and going back to work.

With that said my day has consisted of a Nerf Wars and wearing hats.

Here's Your One Chance Fancy...

Jonathan sent me this blog that teaches you how to make Fancy Fast Food. I don't know if I am brave enough to try any of the recipes and serve them, but I love the idea.

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Hunt

My beautiful friend Katie got married yesterday and I had the honor of being her Matron of Honor. She has been planning and planning and planning for awhile - and it really paid off. She threw a super fun party!

Seriously...I HEART the Fair

I saw this picture today on my Google homepage and it reminded me that the Orange County Fair starts July 10th. It has been on my calendar for a at least 5 months.
To say I love the fair would be a total understatement.
