The 4th of July in California

For the 4th I made a quick weekend trip home to see the fam. It was a good visit. we went up to Healdsburg and watched fireworks. The night was pretty fun. I got to hang with Janelle and Jeff which made it all the better. Fireworks though are kind of boring for me. Serving in Taiwan where you see amazing firworks almost everyday has ruined the excitment of seeing fireworks once a year in America. but they were enjoyable. oh and the best part of the whole night (being sarcastic) was getting yelled at by an old man. oh yeah it pretty much made me mad for the rest of the night. so here is the story...my brother and I drove up to healdsburg in his car. we watched the fireworks in the church parking lot. well my brother decided that he was going to walk down to another park with friend and watch the fireworks. well this was fine until his car alarm started beeping really loud in the church parking lot from the boom of the fireworks. so who did that leave to take care of it? yep...ME!!! so I rushed over to turn it off and there was an older man and his wife parked right by my brothers car in a convertable watching the fireworks. as I went to open the car and turn off the alarm the old man was totally mean and said that I was ruining everyones night. I tried to apologize and explain to him that it wasnt my car, but he just waved his hand at me like, screw you! oh...I was mad! As he continued to say some very rude comments and kept on with his grumbling I finally said..."well sir I can just lock the car back up and walk away and let the stupid thing keep beeping." ha ha ha. he then continued to wave his had in my face. I just turned off the alarm, walked away, and I think called him a bad name under my breath as I walked away. my reaction was bad but it through me so off and it just made me smokin mad. so that was my eventful night.

then on Monday we had the singles ward FHE at our house. so we had about 40 people in our back yard. it was fun. we had hamburgers, hotdogs and roasted S'mores. yummy!
