So this 4th of July was kind of a buzz-kill. Rich & I had plans to go deep sea fishing but being the accountant in training he CANCELLED PLANS THE DAY BEFORE and said that we were too poor to go. I know you're probably like, "Wow, first world problems much?" But we both work 2 jobs not because we HAVE to (we can pay our bills just fine) but because we like to work hard so we can play hard too. And save too, I guess. I just didn't get that memo. So plan B was to go shooting with one of his friends. I was super pumped..I remember doing this for mutual back in the day and I felt super gangster. I even proceeded to go to Wal-Mart and buy a whole bunch of sodas and a Justin Bieber poster for target practice.
That plan fell through as well.
Anyways, we ended up going fishing up at Millerton. Last minute decision at 10am. We bought some cheap polls, used the bait we had on hand, got a one day license and left. The drive up there was beautiful. I'm sorta obsessed with the area. I hope Fresno starts to develop a little bit that way so that I can possibly raise my babies there. We found an awesome little spot outside of the lake itself and set off.
Gorgeous right?
I actually really don't like this picture of myself. My face looks extra round. HOWEVER how adorable does Richard look? Man babe, that over the shoulder smoulder kills me. Yes please.
And the best part of this whole post??

I CAUGHT A FISH!
You need to know the back story to appreciate this. Rich & I went fishing...I don't know...like 5 or 6 times last summer and did I catch anything? NO. Never not once. I caught one once when I was like 13 on a boating trip with one of my friends but that didn't count. I never got a picture. But now I have proof!
The proof was hard to get too. The area we were in was pretty weed-y so I was accustomed to pulling hard on my line to get it untangled. Yet this time, the tug felt different. It was like a sharp snap so I snapped back and proceeded to real in my PRIZE! I was SUPER pumped. Richard went to go grab his phone to take a picture and he couldn't find it! He told me to go to our old spot and see if he left it there (our old spot being like 200 feet away)! I ran like crazy while he kept the fish in the water (I didn't want to kill it!) and what do you know...the phone was with him the whole time. So after sprinting around like a madwoman. I finally got this shot. No fish were harmed in the making of this blogpost. We set him free :)
Afterwards we had my family over to come swim and have a BBQ at our complex's pool. I have no idea why I didn't think to take pictures! I need to be better about that. While Richard & my dad entertained Jaron, Brooke & Bradley I proceeded to hoard baby Aylexa :).
Oh and sister Pam brought a super adorable cake for Aylexa's uhh week and a half birthday? The Willis girls always find an excuse for cake! It is in our blood.
We closed our evening while watching the fireworks at Buchanan. It was beautiful. I truly love this country and for the freedoms we have and for all the sacrifices that were made on our behalf.
All in all, thanks Rich for cancelling our deep sea fishing trip. Plan C was way better.
P.S. No fish were harmed in the making of this blogpost
P.P.S. Anyone have Bieber Fever and could use a poster?
