List....what else?!

It's the 4th of July weekend! Welcome 3 day weekend! I love the 4th of July. It's on my top 3 holidays. Here is a list of things we are looking forward too:

1) 3 day weekend! This is a major plus for me. I am welcoming and embracing Monday. I do love this time of year because it kicks off the downward slide of the rest of the year. Mainly, a lot of paid holidays! We do have a busy weekend but anytime you can get an extra day, enjoy it!

2) Party Planning. Jake's 1st of 2 birthday parties is this weekend. We are having his family birthday party this weekend. We have to get all the food and the decor. He of course wanted a Thomas birthday. The kid loves this stuff. We are super excited about his "big" present this year. He is going to freak and I can't wait! We have to shop at the Nob and get all his decorations and what not. Something I love to do. I could spend a lot of money in that place. Does that mean I am basically providing Ferry his paycheck?!

3) David. It's always a great weekend when David can come home. I love it so. Plus time for the coaching to begin. Hold the phone, he met a girl! Little excited about that. I am just so glad he is coming home. I am sure a boys night out at the movies is already in the works. 

4) Birthday Party! Somehow, the past 3 years have flown by. On Monday, we will have a 3 hear old! I still find that absolutely flabbergasting. I do not know where the time went. He is a little excited because he is having 2 birthday parties. It worked out better if we did a family one this weekend and a friend one next Friday. I am so ready for another BBQ. They never get old! Jake is very excited and cannot stop talking about his birthday. It's adorable. He always lists everyone who is coming and what we are going to do. I hope he has a great day!

5) *Fireworks* I love love love fireworks. I love that it's completely dark and that Jake sits there in awe of them. I love that Michael, still, pulls me in his arms and loves to cuddle while they go off. I love the feeling of all the people there, experiencing the same thing as you, at the same time. I love just being with my family and friends underneath the dark sky. We have 2 nights planned that we can see fireworks! I am a little pumped! I love the 4th of July. It's a great holiday and a great reason to celebrate.

6) Family and Friends <3 Anytime spent with my family and friends is time well spent. I am very blessed in those two areas. I couldn't be more thankful. I love them all!

That is a good enough list for now!

Update on this past week. Went to Eclipse...twice. Yes, it's amazing. I will go again and again. As many times as people ask. I do get the privileged of going again this weekend too! Tuesday/Wednesday was an experience. Something I will do again. Now Harry Potter, yes there were people dressed in robes and playing Quidditch, but Twilight fans are insane. We had a viewing party at Jana's with Twilight and New Moon. After an amazing dinner and 4 hours of Edward time, we piled into "The Cullen" car and headed to Wynnsong. We got there around 10. My word. Luckily we got there when we did. They had a event going on in the parking lot. Music, raffle, merchandise, and you could donate blood. Literally. Once you got into the movie theater, they had blood to drink aka fruit punch, red colored popcorn, wedding cake, picture opprotunities, a arch with Edward underneath it that you would wear a veil and hold flowers to take a wedding photo. It was just pandemonium. People were every where. They have 16 theaters and 14 of them were being used for Eclipse and they were all sold out. We got there just in time. We got to our seats around 10:15ish and sat there till the movie started at 12:11. It was fun seeing all the crazies out and about. I am still unsure about the fangs. Mainly because they don't have any! It was a great audience and everyone in our theater was about 25 and older. No screaming girls! Thank goodness! I did only get about 2 hours of sleep and Josie and Mike tried to keep me awake on Wednesday. I did make it through the day without falling asleep. I think. I ended up getting 10 hours of sleep on Wednesday! That was amazing!

Thursday I met a few fabulous ladies, this does include Ferry, at On The Border. It was a blast! I did have to leave early because D and I were going to Eclipse at 8:20. Again, it was amazing. I will stop the blogposts about it until the DVD comes out. Just only 503 days till Breaking Dawn opens! 

Now onto a fabulous weekend with loads of things to do! Everyone have a safe weekend and holiday!

PS - Jana, I miss you already! Hurry home!!!
