Things Im looking forward too!

There are a few things I'm looking forward to this upcoming month...
And here is the first thing that I am really looking forward to. I think i have officially decided that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday! For many reasons...
1. Because its not some hokey holiday someone thought up to make us spend a bunch of money on stuff we don't need. (Not to mention changing the real reason for the season just so we feel the need to drain the bank account!)
2. Because its summer time and its WARM
3. Because our family has created some of our richest traditions (or at least we think so)around this holiday
4. Because our family WANTS to be together on the 4th
5. Because we live in a small town and it really shows on the 4th
6. Dad gets the day off
7. We get to spend time with our friends(as long as the GATES NOT LOCKED!!!!)
8. Quade LIVES for fireworks!

And some of the reasons we are especially excited about this particular 4th
1. Brittnee's coming home
2. We get to meet her two new friends (go to her blog to find out who)
3. Hayden is super excited and has great plans for the parade and a BBQ after at our house.

So stay tuned for great pictures to come!

......this being the other thing I'm looking forward too...... I loved the first three books and I'm anticipating this one being even better (or at least i sure hope so!) Its the 4th and final book in the series! And should tie up some loose ends and hopefully have a very happy ending! which is kind of weird when you think about it! LOL (if you read it you will know what i mean) i need to get mine ordered since it comes out in just 36 days, 10 hours and 19 minutes! and it will be off the shelves within minutes.
