Happy 4th!

I guess I should mention that i'm home now! I got back in February...
I am so happy that today is Independence Day! I am wearing my favorite new dress, its white with blue stripes and has a pocket and a string tie belt and some bronze buttons for decoration. Usually it is my Nautical dress but today it is Patriotic! God Bless America!
Don't get me wrong, Russia was awesome and it has a place in my heart, but I sure love the good ol'e USofA. What a great nation we have, that was built on so many crucial principles.
Today is the perfect day, sunny in the sun but nice in the shade with a cool breeze, sometimes rexburg nails the weather. its great. Its nice to live across the street from the park because i just went down the street and got to watch the parade and then be in the park where everyone gathered with booths and set ups lounging around all day people watching, eating kettle corn and fries while listening to a Jazz band, and then some two guys on Manadlin and guitar [with harmonica]. time to go home, and i'm practically there already! Whats also nice is that everyone has left the house [usually 8 girls] and its just me [and Phuong but she just sits in her room doing hw a lot, i did get her out to the parade stuff and took her to get fireworks, she declared it to be the greatest day of the semester] but its nice cause i cleaned everything so its still clean cause no one is here AND ive moved all the furniture and put the soundsystem in the living room and ive been skateboarding and dancing and playing Donkey Kong in there and its just so open and nice. ah this it the life. but soon people will return and school will beckon again..
I made a great America playlist today and it makes me so happy [including American Girl- tom petty, American Woman- the guess who, US Blues- grateful dead, Fortunate Son- CCR, The Way I Was Made- griffin house, and many many others]. oh, AND there was a red t-top 73 stingray in the parade. yeah.
