I've never really been big into celebrating the 4th of July other than setting off ground-level fireworks, but this year I actually did have a lot of fun.
On Thursday afternoon I left for Edinburgh, Indiana with my friends Audrey/Kendall/Matt (sisters + Audrey's husband) where we would meet up with Kendall's fiance, Randy (who happens to be Matt's brother, lol how weird is that?). Anyway, The Waltz/Jewell family has really adopted me since last Christmas when I did flowers for Audrey's wedding (and I'll be doing them for Kendall's wedding in July 2010). On Friday we mostly just hung out at their house and they took me to a REALLY good Mexican restaurant with very spicy fajitas.
Friday night got completely wasted and drunk-dialed Nick Earls as promised. The party was a lot of fun, and a lot of ... interesting characters (Kendall + Audrey's older brother, Jordan's, housewarming party). Jordan is an awesome guy, very down to Earth. For his housewarming party (his ENORMOUS house him being a successful IT guy and married to his lawyer wife who is also awesome), Jordan asked everyone not to bring gifts, but to bring their favorite liquor so he could stock his bar.
A bottle of Petrone was destroyed by the guests who brought it (people get very inconsiderate when they're drunk, apparently). Jordan hid it from the guests so they wouldn't drink it all, but guests went looking for it even after I told them Jordan was purposely hiding it from them. Uninvited guests stole a bottle of Crown Royal ... seriously?
I lost 2 games of beer pong with lawyer wife and Audrey. I am really bad at that game and apparently fill the cups up way too much.
Saturday we went out to Madison, Indiana to the Waltz family's camper where we met up with Mr. and Mrs. Waltz and Amber (oldest sister). We did some fishing and intertubing off of their boat which was really fun, but I sliced my finger open on something (still not sure what, didn't feel it when it happened). Introduced Waltz/Jewell/Leffel family to "The Game."
Saturday night, went to weird/crazy Pentecostal church where everyone spoke in tongues? I hate that shit. Watched fireworks. Got back to Evansville at 1:30AM after Kendall and I literally talked for all 3 hours it took to drive home. Much closer to her for it.
Great weekend. Sorry for incomplete sentences ... class tomorrow and tired.
Hanging out with Nick Earls and Jessie tonight, watched Pan's Labyrinth. Even better the 2nd time.
