Fourth of July was super fun, but it was hard not having Alan there. It has officially been the first holiday since his death. I don't think I've ever spent a 4th of July without him in the past 6 or 7 years. Very weird.
I didn't take too many pictures 'cause I was too busy watching the firworks. I went to April's house first and hung out there for a while, which is always a fun time. After that, I went to Tara's house to watch the fireworks. She lives in Solana Beach, so we went up on her roof and we could see the fair's fireworks show from there. We also could barely see them at Sea World too. It was a really good time with my closest friends.
It's weird to think back to our first 4th of July together and how much we've changed since then. I first started dating Marc right after 4th of July, about 6 years ago. I don't think I've spent a 4th of July without him or my other friends since then. We used to all go to my neighborhood block parties and have so much fun. Holland, Weston, Jennifer, Marc, Alan, and me. We all went almost every year, at least for a little while before doing other stuff. Anyway, good times...and more to come! I love you all and every day I grow more thankful for the times I get to spend with each of you.
