^^^ If interested... Call Michael Willis!! haha

I have a very large feeling that this blog entry is going to WEAR ME OUT!!!!

SO... lets start with yesterday.  I got up and went down to VAP ran about 5 then went home and waited to hear from Michael and Kayla.  After quite a bit of miscommunication problems I headed up to the lake with my family for a little while.  MATT TAUGHT ME HOW TO KNEE BOARD!!!









As you can see I never really got up ON MY OWN... but we're gonna work on that in weekends to come.  But I got the strap on!! haha  which was my main goal for the day lol.



There's my little cousin, me, and Brian (with his o so cool sunglasses!) on the boat on while Matt was wake boarding.

AND NOW TO THE SUPER FUN STUFF!!! (Not that family time isn't fun and all!)  I cam home about 6:30 and went over to Michael's house...  We waited for everyone to show up and then Michael started COOKING...



^^ I love that picture!  He fixed hamburgers and hot dogs, steak, and chicken (for me! :-)  So we all (me, k, mich, max, kara, martha, sam and cherish... kaylas sister angie and her husband kevin came by for a little while as well!) sat around and ate...


Kara and Martha



Kayla!



THE GIRLS!


AND THEN WE WENT SWIMMING!!! 

Me and K doing our syncranized diving! haha

 Cherish, Sam, Kara, and Max (Martha is refing in the background lol) Chicken Fighting!




And there's the cute couple!  I love em!



THEN IT WAS TIME FOR FIREWORKS!!! (which i absolutely HATE btw... but... I tolerated them cause they guys weren't acting TOO stupid...)



I just think that is a great picture of Max! His hair is so pretty... I'm Jealous! 

THE GIRLS! (Again) -- Amy Dub, Martha, Kara, Me, Kayla, and Cherish.  We had our nice little row of seats VERY far away from the ACTION lol.



Me and Kayla with SpArKlErS!!!!  You can never go wrong with fireworks safe enough for 10 year olds!  The smoke they let off doesn't make for very good pictures though!



I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! I was getting a little artsy fartsy i guess you could say haha!  They were marveling at their EXPENSIVE purchases! 



And there's Me and K acting goofy!  As Usual!  Have to have atleast a couple good picture to send to Billy! lol



Me and Kara took pictures of each other taking a picture... cause well... that's what we do best!! and what we spent most of the night doing!! :-D



There's the boys yet again marveling at their 150$$ worth of fireworks!!  It was a good show though... THANKS BOYS! :-D





Kyle came when he got off work!!! Very good to see him... I don't think I've really seen him in a while.  Him and Max had fun with the sparklers too... writing their names and all lol.

 

AND THERE'S ME AND MY FAKE BOYFRIEND!!!  O how I miss him so! lol  Hey we never officially broke up... right Kyle?!?  Haha  fun times!




And there's the boys after we got back up to Michael's house... they decided they wanted to go for a late night dip! 


Wow... I LOVE PICTURES!!!  They say it all!! I don't even have to type all that much... this whole digital camera thing is great!  Granted... i don't plan on ever truly giving up the 35 mm... but I guess its kinda nice to have them INSTANTLY!!!  I tried to make a little collage to send to Billy and when I printed it out you couldn't really see eveything that great cause some of them are really dark but HEY!... Its stilll pretty cool.

Anyways... so that was my Forth of July and it was definitely one of the best ones EVER!!  I absolutely LOVE my friends!!  Martha is gonna see if she can go to the beach with us!! (o yah... its now just a beach trip instead of a DISNEY WORLD trip-- thats gonna wait till next year)  But I HONESTLY don't mind ONE BIT!  As long as I get some fun in the sun and a whole week off from work... I don't really CARE what I'm doing.

Look at how patriotic our wonderful online journal server was today!!!

I'd Do Anything
-Simple Plan-

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting

And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
And never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (....)
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana (....)

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

I Believe
-Blessed Union of Souls-

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a n* from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way
