4th of July

I LOVE the 4th of july!!! Going to parades, eating lots of food at BBQs, lighting fireworks and then watching a cities firework show.  Garrett told me that he never went to the parades on the 4th so I invited him to come meet some of my siblings and celebrate with us.  We went out to Grantsville to celebrate with my sisters.  To start off we went to the parade, and although Grantsville's parade is not the best it is still a fun tradition to go watch the floats and sent the little kids to the front so we can get some candy!! After the parade was over we went over to one of my sisters neighbors house for a BBQ.  Mmmm....I love bbq foods, hamburgers & hotdogs, chips, salads, watermelon and for dessert rootbeer floats!  We sat outside and soaked up some sun while we ate.  After lunch thats when it all started... I GOT SICK and was in a lot of pain! this is when Garrett had the great idea to drug me.  He gave me one of my sisters pills....Percocet!  That is one crazy drug!!!  First it knocked me out for a good 3-4 hours.  I mean it was probably the best nap I have ever had but it took Garrett and my sister to wake me up.  Once I was awake I was still all foggy and was having problems focusing and walking.  Garrett pretty much walked me back over to the neighbors house and sat me down so we could go light off the fireworks that we had bought before the cities firework show started.  As we were watching the Grantsville fireworks show, I remember trying to focus on the fireworks but having such a hard time.  I now think of this experience as a test to see if Garrett was going to stick around or RUN.  I'm sure I gave him plenty of craziness to cause him to run away but he stuck around and still wanted to be with me.  Thats when I knew he was a keeper!!!  Overall it was a really fun day, at least the day that I remember.
