Let Freedom Ring

Independence Day was A-OKAY!
This year was the first year Gilbert allowed residents to buy and shoot off their own fireworks.
Of course we used that to our fullest advantage. :)

We started on the 3rd of July. My family went over to Ashley's house, where we had pulled pork sandwiches. Yuuuuuum!
It was a sups fun time, watching Lonely Island videos and prancing around.
Then, FIREWORKS.
Unfortunately for me, I stepped on a lit punk. OUCH. It hurt, and it's blistered. Poo.
But it was really fun, we played with sparklers and set off some loud fireworks.

Then, the real day happened.
My best friend, Casey, came over, and we pretty much set off the rest of the fireworks we had.
By the time we finished, her boyfraaaan Jerame got off work and wanted to shoot off more, so he came over and we went and got more. So great.
Unfortunately for me (again), ash from a lit punk fell on my thigh. It hurt, and it's blistered, but the blister popped. Poo.

So, I've come to a conclusion. IHATEPUNKS.

So, Kim is housesitting right now, and I went over.
Then Ashley came over.
Then Casey came over.
Then Stoof came over.
We had a ball.
I love these girls so much, Imma miss them when I leave!
That's all, I'm ouuuuut.

Love,
Brittany Lauren.

Cute Kid.

Lately, I've been obsessed with the following things:

-Home Movies
-Shatter nail polish
-Twitter

Now, if you follow me on Twitter, you have seen the obnoxious amounts of tweets I've posted about the home movies I've been watching. Hey, I can't help it if I was a cute kid. What happened to me now, I don't know...
It's cool seeing myself grow up in front of a camera, it's like I'm a movie star or something.
But I guess I've never realized what I've been given.
Two parents who love me, four siblings that have love-hate relationships with me, pets I wouldn't dream of losing, houses I've called home. It's pretty great.

In other news...

I had a friend pass away a couple days before my birthday. I think her fun-loving and kind spirit has made me realize that I want/need to be a better person. I'm still in the process of trying, but I'm getting better each day.

MY GOLDEN BIRTHDAY. 19 on the 19th (of June, of course). That day also happened to be Father's Day, so naturally I got him the best gift ever:


I mean, how else is he supposed to support my new school??
PS, he's doing "the pose." FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW THE POSE: It's the typical girl pose: Hand on the hip, arm wrapped around the other person, head tilted, propped foot, big smile. Eve's idea. So great.

Umm, that's all I have for now, I'll try harder to update this thing. FAIL.

Love,
Brittany Lauren
