ANYWAY ... when people other than Martina McBride think of the fourth of July, they think of barbecues, going to the beach, pool parties, and other fun things. For me fourth of July is always a painful memory, why? Because it is my little brother's birthday and every year, on fourth of July he would request that we go to Sea World, and so we drove to San Diego and back, through all the traffic, EVERY fourth of July ... and I HATE Sea World. Nothing about Sea World is fun and exciting for me. Maybe it's because I never wanted to be there in the first place, or that sitting around watching whales jump out of a pool doesn't quite do it for me, or maybe cause ... oh I don't know, we grew up 10 minutes away from the ocean and we could see dolphins doing the same exact thing in the ocean DAILY if we so desired, whatever the reason I am not a fan of Sea World.
Anyways, that was actually kind of a tangent. My little brother's birthday is tomorrow and he's turning 20. And he's going to Russia. And because he won't be around to celebrate his departure from teen-dom, we decided to throw him a little birthday celebration tonight:
In wedding news: I ordered our cake today! I am very excited for it, and I just kind of randomly picked designs for the cake, so let's see how it goes ... Regardless of what it looks like, I know that it's going to taste delicious, so everyone can rest assured of that. I also dropped off my dress at the tailor's, and it's a little nerve racking to not have it in my possession, but the tailor lives literally 2 blocks away, so there's always that. Other than that, I'm just taking care of little things here and there like designing programs and oh yeah, getting scuba certified! I went to my bachelorette party this weekend and I had a blast! We went to San Diego, and did some snorkeling and it definitely whet my appetite for exploring the world "under the sea"(of course I had to work in a Disney reference there).
Here is a picture of me with my bridesmaids:
ALSO: Alex and I have secured a house on base! It is such a blessing that we got offered a house because there are many people who arrived around the same time and they did not get as lucky as we did. I met a girl who had to wait 9 months to get a house! We definitely got lucky. I will be leaving shortly after I return from our honeymoon, and needless to say, I am very happy about that. Knowing when I'm going to be there, definitely makes the waiting process much more bearable. The next step is finding a job, so please pray that I get a good one!
Alright folks, that's all I got for tonight!
