In the beginning...

Hello all! It has finally come to pass that I, Melps, have decided to start a blog about the great adventures of hubby and me. Especially since the next few months will bring so many unknowns into our lives.

And what a time to start. With the great Fourth of July weekend! What an adventure that was. Last night was a time of feasting, laughter, and big booms (quite literally). We had a BYOM/BYOeverything at the Banker household. Followed by fighting the crowds at the waterfront for viewing space of the fireworks. We settled on a nice little section of grass, thinking we would end up having to move just to see the fireworks...how wrong we were.

The barge was directly in front of us on the river and we received the full force of the show. As BD put it afterwards, "I'm glad I had my ear plugs." We could feel the explosions. But we all agreed they were the best seats in the house! And so...on with the show!

And thanks to A for all the wonderful pictures (dorky me for got the camera in the haste to get to celebrating).
