My brother, Sarah, and the baby visited this past 4th of July weekend. The fireworks they sell on the indian reservations here are crazy! We basically blew up $300 worth of sky high fireworks. The boys were going crazy, alcohol and fireworks aren't a good combo. I'm glad everybody had fun though. It was our second time having a barbecue at our house. I'm glad that our house is perfect for entertaining. Tonight is the first night I'm spending home alone. Luckily David and Grace will be coming up tomorrow night so I will have company until Friday when Brett gets back. So now I'm officially all moved out of California. No place to call home when I go back to visit. The living room is filled with boxes of stuff that I moved up. It's going to take me a couple days to unpack everything. When I was going through a pile of letters and cards, I found a note my mom had written me on 12/24/07, our last Christmas together. She wrote her thanks to me and her gratitude for me taking care of her. The letter was really sweet. She signed it, the mother that always loves you and she even drew a crooked smiley face. It made me so sad.
So many things are happening these days. We just bought a pool table so that's coming this Friday. I have wedding planning to do. And I can't wait to get some work coming my way and starting school eventually. 2009 has been a good year so far. Road trip from South Carolina to Connecticut. Went to Boston and New York twice. Another road trip from Connecticut to Washington. And our five year anniversary is coming up. July 18. It still feels so fun and exciting to be with Brett.
