4th of July

Well, this past 4th of July was as crazy as I can remember. I had my five year class reunion Thurs. night. 13 of the 42 originally in our class showed up, but we had a good time.

Here's the Class of 2003 or at least some of us...

Jyl & Me

My in-laws got in that morning at 12:30 a.m. Marty had already went to bed and I got in around 10:30 p.m. so I started cooking and waited on them.

The next morning we went to a pre-parade party at The Citadel. We watched some of the parade and then headed South to meet up with my parents at the park for lunch. I got to see several people...

including a slightly pregnant Megan...

Here's Mom, Me & Dad. Very lady-like as always...

Marty & his parents.

Michaela & Me.

What could be better than homemade ice cream on the 4th? It's funny how our activities have evolved since we've gotten older. When I was younger, I would run the Fun Run at 7 a.m., play in the 3 on 3 basketball tournament and lifeguard at the pool and grab a snack if I had time. Now our activities revolve around the pork sandwiches, turkey legs and homemade ice cream...I can't complain though.

That afternoon Marty's parents were exhausted so they went back to our house and slept. We made a quick run to Pampa and then back to Wheeler for a cookout at Jason & Desiree's house.

Saturday Jerrye & Kenneth left around 8 a.m. and we slept almost the entire day. We didn't roll in until about 2:30 that morning so it felt good to be lazy.

We got around and went to Lyndi's for another get together.

Here's me & Marty before we left.

It was a great long weekend. It was so good to see everyone and hangout. We leave for Colorado on Sunday and will be back the following Saturday. I can't wait. We typically go every other year, but it's been 3 years (since the summer Marty & I met) since we've been. I'm ecstatic. So have a great week and I'm sure I'll have lots to blog about when we get back!
