Happy 4th of July!!! So, my mother has decided (via 1 am the previous morning) to have a cook-out at our house for the family and some close friends. I guess that's one thing I have inherited from my mother: pulling off last minutes things and doing it well!;)

Wow! This time next week I will be finishing up packing and getting ready for my flight the next morning. Ok, well knowing me, let's be honest, I will probably have just started packing. But,it's finally starting to hit me....it always takes me right up to the time to realize it. But, I am definitely getting excited.
