happy birthday america

if i was in lubbock right now, i'd be drinking mimosas and watching my parents march with lawnmowers in the parade. then tonight i'd go eat some of the best bbq in the state and drink mojitos beneath the fireworks show. instead, i'll spend my day watching pride and prejudice with the lady friends and praying we'll get to have fireworks tonight. when did austin become seattle and more importantly, why does God hate america's birthday this year? why??


....aren't my parents adorable?



aaaaand, that picture was taken by one of my two bratty cousins (love you patrick and thomas) that have iphones. not jealous.

have a happy fourth and try not to lose any appendages!
