Proud to be an A-Murr-ii-can.

I had an amazing day/ Fourth of July.

Family. Just sittin' around and gabbin.' The way it should be =]

My friend/ J's cousin's gf...and her awesome sparkler picture. =P

Fireworks =D (our very own, semi pathetic firework show. The best kind)



I love Jake's family so much, and spending the holiday with them was just wonderful and delightful. Jake's aunt Debbie and uncle Tim hosted this year, which was a switch up for the family. They usually have it at a different house every year, but the family who usually hosts is just worn out completely. It was a great place to have it instead. Open space, a play ground, lots of games, a firepit. Jake may or may not have exploded a bomb and nothing happened cause they are so far out in the country. It was just great. A perfect fourth. Even working this morning wasn't so bad. There was one hour that was just pure chaos, but other than that I really didn't even mind that I had to work today. People are friendlier on holidays. And tips are really good. Haha.

I did have somewhat of a falling out with my family on the third of July. Not with my immediately family, but with my Uncle who hosts fourth of July. I brought Ace over there and my Uncle made me feel like we were very unwelcome, which was the exact reason that Jake didn't come with me to my families "thing," because my uncle made him feel very unwelcome as well. Anyways, I got very upset and told my mom that I felt that my family wasn't welcom-- because Jake and Ace are my family now-- and that if they weren't welcome than neither was I. It's a very complicated situation with my family, but it makes me sad to think that I don't every really want to spend time with my side of my new "family" because of one person. It really is too bad.

I'm trying to be positive and cheerful as always, and today really was a tremendous day. One of my two cousins from my mom's side of the family is in town, his name is Caleb. I haven't seen him for years and I am very excited to get to spend some time with him this week. He may or me not be my favorite-est cousin *shush!*

That's all for now folks! I'm tiiiiiired.
Hope y'all had an amazing Independence Day!
