Ian had a nice four day weekend for the holiday and wouldn’t you know it rained ALL four days. We spent our 4th of July huddled under tarps and screen tents. At least the weather was warm even with the rain… Small favors, I suppose.
We discovered that Gabe absolutely HATES fireworks, so we dropped him off with Uncle Dan for the night. Even a bottlerocket makes Gabe panic and run away screaming. Poor little buddy just really does not like loud noises of any kind – unless it comes out of his mouth. Then he is absolutely okay with it. Go figure.
I am so excited for tonight; Big Brother 12 is starting! I loved last season, it was so dramatic and fun to watch. I am so glad that Jordan won it.
I am also very excited that I finally received my Financial Aid voucher from school so I could order my Early Fall semester books. I’m taking Foundations of Math, Intro to Clinical Skills, Office Procedures 1 and Composition. I’m excited about the Clinical Skills class the most, but still glad I have another two weeks of vacation left. 
This weekend we have a birthday party Saturday afternoon and Ian’s 10 year class reunion to go to later that night. Next week we have my school’s Night At The Loggers and Ian’s work’s Race Night. The following week is the kids’ annual check up on Monday and hopefully on Saturday we are going to my first ever Brewers game!
