Independence Day

Happy 4th of July! Celebrating the independence of a country that is not my current place of residence is still a little weird. In the morning, Stacie and I had no other plans than to watch a movie, but by noon, a party was planned and our house volunteered for the venue. Even with the short notice, altogether it was really nice. Along with about 18 other people, we grilled hamburgers, ate a decorative flag cake, and shot off fireworks and made our neighbors mad. Up to this point we've been the good neighbors, not causing trouble or making too much noise. Hopefully we can regain our good reputation. Even though the celebrations were a far cry from baseball games and picnics, they were still fun. We never did watch our movie though...the World Cup was on and we couldn't very well pass that up.

Real fireworks?! Where did you get those! Sounds fun. We grilled out here in Uganda, but no fireworks:( Hope all is going well for you and your shoulder is healing fast. I will be going home in less than 3 months now...I can't hardly believe it!
