Oh, I love the 4th of July. We floated down the river on air mattresses like we do every year, and it was so super relaxing. There were no bugs biting and not too many trees to avoid and it was just such a wonderful day that it's still making me happy on the inside of my heart.

Had a bit of a graduation party today, a thing for all three of us who are graduating on my mom's side, me, Nathan, and Jim. It was fine, though I was sick and tired of the whole thing at the end. Got myself a gift card at Target for a new camera, though, and a gift card for Best Buy, and the ever-needed cash, so the afternoon wasn't totally awful ( Read more... )

My aunt Janelle (the nun who works at St. Ben's) and my cousin Judy (who lives in the cities with her son Reed, who's five) were trying to bribe me into either going to St. Ben's (Janelle, of course) or St. Thomas or Hamline (Judy ( Read more... )
