Happy 4th!!!

Today was my last chill day before I start work tomorrow. I'm starting to get accustomed to sleeping in a little bit....sad..oh well I am anxious to get started. It was a beautiful day for the most part. Around 5 I went to Christi's house and we had a little cookout. Their dental hygienist friend Tara came over too. She's on the left. After cooking out we left to go hear the Aurora Symphony outside at their municipal center. When we got there the sky was dark and rain was definitely in the forecast. We had no sooner set our blankets down when they came out with an announcement that the music was going to be delayed at least 20 minutes and we needed to evacuate the park. So, we decided to go sit in the car and wait to see what happened. Of course it rained... We still had hopes we would hear the orchestra. It turns out that the orchestra moved all their instruments inside and played in the center of the municipal building. It was quite the experience. I spread the blanket on the floor and people were camped out in chairs everywhere..we just brought the outside indoors. When the music was done they said the fireworks were going to start. It was pouring down rain. We found a good spot though underneath a tent. We saw some members from Christi's church standing by us and one of the guys was very loud, especially his commentary when the fireworks started and during the whole show. If he shouted one more time....LOL. Before the show started they were playing depressing music. It almost made me cry..could we get something a little more uplifting please? It was cold so it was decided we go to Denny's for some hot chocolate. Tara was dropped off and Christi's sister Michele was picked up. She had to work so she wasn't able to join us for the rainy festivities. What a nice way to top off the evening. When Fabian, Christi and Michele get together they are super silly. All in all it was a great day. I should probably go to bed now so I can be refreshed and not cranky in the morning for work. Pray for me :o) Hope everyone had a stupendous day and saw awesome fireworks!!
