Ginger In The Rye: July Already?

Last time I truly looked at a calendar was when I was back at school. That was in May. Looked at one today and to my dismay...it is already JULY! Where has the time gone!?! I am already having a busy month.

Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays, not because it celebrates the country that I love or because of great BBQ, but for my father. He loves fireworks. But sadly, my Dad had to work that day. I mean you can be correctional officer of the year without having to sacrifice a little bit!

While Dad was workin' I treated Mom to a much needed Independence Day massage and the new Starbucks Blonde Roast.

Later headed to my cousin's house for some drinks and Fireworks. I even got to hangout with my sister. This a rarity due to her busy schedule. Had to take a picture for evidence! Love ya Steph.

After Nicole's, I headed to another (much later) party. Jackie's brother(Zach) and his friend Ruben made an appearance. I also took a picture to send to Jackie in Sacramento. She was very happy to see them, but I made sure to tell her that she was defiantly there in spirit! Only like 18 more days until she returns. I send her random stuff via text message but she reminds me that she is in the middle of nowhere which means text few and far between. Sad face. ):

In other news, my good friend Shayna has finished Vet Tech School and is doing her externship! Way to go Shayna! She has had a little break from school which means us hanging out = me happy! She dragged me, Zachy, and John to The Amazing Spiderman (which I did not want to see) but truly lived up to it's title! It was freaking AMAZING! P.S. I love Emma Stone! Definitely a must see on the big screen...seriously!

I also took Zachy to see Ted because 1) I had free tickets. and 2) I heard it was hilarious! Which it was!

3) I have always and will forever be a Seth MacFarlane fan.

It was also a really good/funny movie. I mean it is about a talking bear and all. P.S I also love Mila Kunis so....

In other, other news. My cousins for Dallas are coming to see us for a whole month! Currently my uncle Aub is in Texas to hang for a while and then is flying them back with him. I discovered via Facbook that they went to Cowboys Stadium. Remember my aunt that passed from Cancer. She was a die hard Cowboys fan, I mean I wore an Aikman Jersey to her funeral and all. But Aub as well as my aunt Jen took some of her ashes and sprinkled them on the field. Check out this video.
