Fourth of July in the middle of the week was kinda weird, but it’s Friday so, yay. If you’re in the path of this heatwave hope you’re finding some relief from the heat. We made a promise not to complain about it being too hot after this winter so we’re soaking up the sunshine and relishing in our own sweatiness. Haha, happy weekend.
