Well, it has been EXTREMELY hot out lately. Today, it hit 106 degrees!! And, of course, not very much of a breeze either. It's a dry heat too and lots of humidity.
Craig and I went to see the Avengers today. It's been in theaters for 2 months now. This was only our second time seeing it. It was just as funny as the first time we saw it. We have definitely decided to get it right when it comes out :-) It's an amazing movie.
Tonight, it looks like we're just going to chill out at home with my mom. Maybe watch a few movies or something.
My phone is shut off for a week....so if you try to call me or text me, it's not going to come through. I'm NOT ignoring anybody....sorry guys :-(

Fourth of July
Happy fourth of July, everyone!!! It's that time of year again where people go and watch fireworks, have their cookouts, and also get completely drunk. So be careful out there when y'all are driving. There's bound to be some crazy reckless people driving. But while most people don't know the true meaning of "Fourth of July"....some of us do. And we need to remember the reason why we celebrate this holiday.
Why do we say the pledge of Allegiance? We say that because of the soldiers who fought and died for our country. Our country is FREE because of them.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic, for which it stands. One Nation, UNDER GOD, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."
And to think....some of the DEMOCRATS want us to take out "Under God" from our Pledge. We, as a nation...and as a people, need to remember what this nation was founded upon. It was founded upon the BIBLE. With GOD as our leader. Our forefathers knew why we were starting this nation...GOD was allowing it. GOD was in control. And they believed in GOD. Have any of you noticed that on our One Dollar coins, they're putting "In God We Trust" on the SIDES of the coin rather than on the front or back. The edges of the coins don't stay the way they are when they're first made. They get old looking and worn on the edges. Who idea was it to put the "In God We Trust" on the sides of the coins? I'll give you one guess: the DEMOCRATS. Our nation is REPUBLIC and we need to keep it like that. We can't just sit back and let democrats run our nation. We need to take a stand against the crap they're doing to our nation.
Here's a picture to hopefully help you be in the INDEPENDENT spirit today and to think about what our country stands for. Remember our soldiers in this time of celebration. They're the reason our country is free. So while you're eating your hamburgers and hot dogs and watermelon, think of our brave soldiers. The ones who deserve our tax dollars. The ones who deserve our support.

Busy weekend
Wowwee!! Sorry I haven't gotten to post anything recently. I've been really busy since I got down here on Thursday. I stayed the night at Melissa's house and then we had her party Then I came home and got hardly any sleep just to get up early on Saturday and went straight to the old house and started working. Then came home late Saturday night and got up early to go to church, just to turn around and go back to the house to finish up. Goodness it's been a busy busy weekend!! Last night, Kasi came over and spent the night and we just hung out today, didn't really do much. It was nice to just RELAX after the long stressful weekend. But we made great progress so it's okay I suppose.
Tomorrow night, my niece McKenzie will be coming over and staying the night into Wednesday. And on Wednesday, Craig will be coming down from Joliet. I get to go pick him up at the bus station in Peoria and then we have to take Kenzie home. I am so excited to see Craig!! I've missed him so much. He has a 5 day weekend for Fourth of July and we get to spend it here in Chillicothe with family and friends. We're going to have a cookout and then go see the fireworks as well. It'll be awesome!! I know Craig's pretty happy about getting a 5-day weekend to just relax and spend time with family. He definitely needs it/deserves it. It'll be nice for him to not have to watch the clock and get ready for work.
Well I found my old Super Nintendo this past weekend. I'm going to try again today to get it to work. Last night Kasi and I tried it...but failed to get it to work. So I'm thinking there's probably still some dust in it that needs blown out. Hopefully I can get it working!! It'd be nice to be able to play all my old Super Nintendo games like Mario and Space Invaders!
It has been extremely hot the last few days as I'm sure y'all have noticed. It's like you walk outside and it feels like you just walked into a sauna of some sorts. It's nuts!! Drink lots and lots of water!!! :-)
