Tell your MIL over and over how it's just not the same since your dad is gone. Make plans away from home next 4th.

BBQ and beach today with some friends today, and going in a bit to watch the fireworks. My husbands family are all camping up north, and as much as I love them I'm glad we're not there this year.

Tomorrow night we're gonna see Finger Eleven and Seether. Yeah...yeah.....it's free though.

I'll look for Anti in the crowd
