This 4th of July was definitely different for me. Nic was back at home in Utah for the weekend to attend a funeral for one of his good friends. So luckily I have some family out here. I started out the day going to my Aunt's ward breakfast. We had homemade scones and fresh fruit. It was so good and I had a lot of fun hanging out with Karalee, Scott & little Austin. Kelli and Kori also came with me and I had a lot of fun with them too. I forgot to take pictures of that so...sorry!
That night, the office had a b.b.q. but I didn't really want to go since Nic wasn't there. My cousins invited me to go watch the fireworks up in Santa Barbara. Kelli and I went and had a lot of fun. We sat on the beach and watched the show. Karalee's best friend Carlina got there at like 3 in the afternoon to save our spot (the beach was absolutely packed with people) and she made this great couch out of sand. It was so nice. We had our own little lounge to watch the show.

Here are few pictures of the fireworks. It was a great firework show. It was interuppted for a little while and a lot of people thought it must have been over, so a ton of people left. We knew it couldn't have been over because there was no finale. So we waited and waited and it finally started up again, and the finale was great. After it was over, we found out that the interupption was caused by a stabbing in the beach bathroom that was probably about 25 yards away from us!!! I think I heard that 3 people were involved and the youngest involved was 13 years old. I couldn't believe that we were that close to something so violent. Luckily we didn't see or hear any of it happen, but it was still crazy. Overall, I had a great day. It would have been better if I could have been with Nic or with our families, but it was still good!

Sounds like you had a great time despite the fact that Nic was in Utah for a sad deal. You're looking great and it's good that you have friends out there to hang out with! :)
Hey! Looks like you had a fun 4th of July! I missed celebrating it this year! It's your birthday today in Australia, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, even though it won't be until tomorrow for you. Oh, and to reply, we stopped calling him avery because we don't want to get too comfortable calling him a name and getting others used to the name in case when he comes out the name doesn't suit him but it's still one of our top choices :).
Oh my gosh thats crazy that had happened that close to you! I'm happy to hear that eveything is goin good! Thats a bummer to not have Nic with you but it looked like you had a good time! Wish we could've been together it would've been fun! Hopefully next year!!!
Happy Birthday!
