my 1st pair of big girl panties!

the other day, i got a package in the mail from my bestie, Mandy. i'm so glad i have amazing girlfriends, especially this one!

you see, a couple of weeks ago, Mandy and i were chatting via Skype. thank goodness for Skype! i was complaining, yes...complaining, about our lack of plans for the 4th of July and that everyone seemed to be going out of town or had plans. i was also sad because my husband would be working on the 4th. our husbands are in the same line of work and she truly understands the fact that our husbands are sometimes not around for holidays. don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining about my husband's job, he has a great job, that he loves. but sometimes, it's just hard.

i told her i just needed to "put on my big girl panties" a.k.a "stop complaining" and make the best of the day.

well, look what was in the box...my very own big girl panties!

so with that, i hope you have an amazing 4th of July...i know, i will!
