Catchin Up.

I'm still trying to play catch up since I haven't posted about the 4th of July. To start, Brandon's birthday wasn't much of a birthday for him. He had to work then we had class from 6-10 so he didn't get to really celebrate. I woke up at 6:30 am to make him breakfast and I made him his favorite meal Roma Rice, and also made him a carrott cake. I really did try to make things a little special which is all I could do. He got a new computer for his brithday tho! Spoiled! lol Next year will be better honey! Promise!

So on to the weekend of the 4th. We headed up to the cabin Friday morning and just played around all day. Saturday morning {the 4th} Brandon, Bryan, Janet, Danielle, Zack, Ashlie, and I headed into Evanston to do a 5K race! This was my first race and I did ok. Not as good as I was hoping to do but I made it and that's all that mattered! I even got a ribbon! lol 5th place, Yessss! Of course that 5th place only meant in my age division.....5 out of 5! lol Brandon got 6th place in his division. Woo hoo! Bryan KILLED all of us. He did the race in like 26 minutes or something. WOW! It was really fun tho. I enjoyed it.

Later that day, we decided to go on a 'short' ride. What we thought was going to be an hour to an hour and a half ride turned into a 4 hour ride. I even had Sawyer on that ride for that long. Too long for a baby! We also had a few inexperienced riders plus a hard trail so that slowed us way down too. I was glad when it was over. It was still fun just a little long! After the 'short' ride we all decided to go into Evanston for fireworks. HOLY CRAP! Evanston is THE PLACE for fireworks! The entire city was lit up! It was amazing! The best firework display I've ever seen! I think we've found our new 4th of July tradition!!

Wedensday, the new Harry Potter opened at midnight! Brandon and I have been to every opening of the Harry Potters and its become our tradition. We went with Tia and Derik. We bought some energy drinks and loads of candy to help keep us up. I was pretty dang sick the next day cause of caffeene and sugar overload! It was worth it tho! We had a blast!

We didn't get home until 3:30 am! What a night! It was so much fun tho!
