Independence Day

I told you that I was going to write a blog on the Fourth of July so I am. I even including pictures too. Goodness, I feel so proud of myself for finding a site that has animated pictures. There's nothing much to post except for the fact that James really does want to have a family soon and I couldn't be happier. I am also going home (Lawrence, Kansas) in a couple of weeks and I am so looking forward to that. I need the time away from Ithaca and work. I just wish that James was coming with me. Oh well, there's always the Shew Bash (which is James' mother's side of the family's reunion). He took that whole week off so we can spend time together. We are going to have fun there I am sure of it. Last year, I couldn't go because we just moved to Worth, Illinois and the Wal-Mart over there wouldn't let me take off that fast to go back to New York so James went by himself.
This is an interesting Fourth of July for me because James has to work so I have to spend it by myself. Oh what I am going to have! NOT. Oh well, what can you do? They (the town of Ithaca) won't have a fireworks display because it's more expensive to have it on the actual day versus another day so they had it on July 2. James and I didn't really care to watch it because it was his birthday for one and another was because I just got out of work and I was way too tired to go up to Ithaca College to watch it. People said it wasn't that great anyways.
Red, White, and Blue are todays theme colors. I am also in a dancing mood today because of the fact that I have Friday off but, I won't dance or anything. I am so creative today aren't I? :) Oh well, what can you do? I don't know if anyone actually reads this blog of mine but, if they do, they will find this one quite amusing to be honest. For the next two Mondays and Tuesdays, James and I have it off together!!! Can you believe it?! I know that I can't. It's about time that we have the same time off together!! :) I am so happy and James is too!
That means that we can actually spend some time together like watch a movie or even stay in and relax and not have to worry about him leaving for work. This Monday, we are going to have lunch with his parents, brothers, cousins, and grandparents. I am excited for this because we do this every year and gives us a chance to catch up with everyone before the reunion.
James' brother Finley is planning on sending his girlfriend of two years a commitment ring. Keep in mind that he has never this woman before but he has talked to her on the phone and he is in love with her. I really don't what to think of all of this. He hasn't met her but has spoken to her and told her that he loves her. He doesn't know what she is like in person or what her mannerisms are. In some odd weird way, I see a disaster approaching but then again, I could be wrong. I just hope Finley knows what he is doing.
I think that I am done blogging for now. I want to watch the shows that I recorded and just un-wind. My eyes are getting tired and I can't look at this computer anymore. Maybe later but not just at this moment. Happy Fourth of July everyone! God bless!
