I stayed in Tulsa for the first time in a while to celebrate the 4th with friends at the Wilson Farmhouse! We had burgers and hot dogs at their table, chatted about life and about my home remodel projects (JEM's eyes got big and sad when I said I'd painted out the signature wall, but I assured him it was well documented)! They made a fire and we went out back to hang out and watch fireworks... I came back inside to hang out and take a couple selfies (bottom right) after the infamous fireworks attack!! Michael was setting off some fireworks, and one of them tipped over right before going off and shot all over the yard at us! Jeffrey Edward hit the ground immediately while Chet tried to run away and I was just standing there in awkward shock. Funny to look back on, but mildly terrifying at the time. That and the near gas explosion incident when Juniper was dancing with her sparkler near the can of gasoline they'd used to start the fire... YIKES. And no one at our party was drunk or high... fireworks and fire are just dangerous. Thankfully, God protected us and I'm sure so many others that night!!
Aside from that, it was a fun and memorable night! The Myers brought Willow along, and she looks super delighted to be wearing a tiny patriotic hat! lol Kelly baked a cake in a pastry class and brought it for our dessert! Always entertaining to watch Jessica trying to keep the fire going strong. lol And the other pic is Chet showing Michael a video of him doing circles through his yard to mow it when one side of his riding mower was broken. LOL
Mom and Dad went to Nancy's and then had the Myricks and Charlene over to watch fireworks from their back porch! I had fun at Chet's, but I was sad to miss seeing the fam.
The Parrish fam went to Arizona with Josh's family, hopefully having fun and staying safe as they set off their own fireworks and play at the lake! Such a cute red, white, and blue pic of them:
After a long weekend remodeling my house, Mom and I have been working to clean and fix up Rach's house before they come back on Saturday. I'm thankful we've gotten so much done, but I'm also gonna make sure I get at least one day "off" in my week of vacation! (Judge is gone on vacation, so I got to take this week off.)
Memorable moment:
I took a pic of Kelly's cake, and JEM said, "Aww, Mockey's getting a pic of the cake. That would make the blog if she still had one!"
....semi-awkward pause....
Me: "Yes!"
Chet: "She does have one; we just don't know about it."
Me: "That's... kinda true!" lol
I'll publish it all eventually. The privacy is nice for now! =)
