1st 4th of July

so our first 4th of july as a family wasnt too exciting. i woke up around 5am to feed xavier and i was dozing off and was suddenly awoken by a crash of thunder! the sky was orange from the sunrise so it made it very weird feeling. i am not a huge fan of storms so i woke jeremy up to come sit out in the living room with me. he had to go outside though to roll up the windows in our car. poor guy. first he gets woke up super early by his scaredy cat wife and then he has to go outside in the pouring rain! after i fed xavier we both fell asleep for a couple more hours. jeremy played video games. i woke up around 11 i think and puttsed around for a while. we were  contemplating whether or not we wanted to go to the whole 4th of july thing on one of the other bases. since it had rained a lot i wasnt a big fan of trying to  maneuver a stroller onto a soggy football field. we finally decided we werent going to go. instead we met up with the hernandez's and went to a bbq. the bbq didnt last long outside because it started to rain, and hard! it was crazy. we all went inside and ate and chilled there for a bit. we left there and went to the hernandez's house and jeremy played super mario galaxy 2 with their son. they had fun. we came home and just chilled for the rest of the night. no fireworks, nothing. i felt kind of bad. i wanted to be in america so bad that day. oh well. maybe next year's will be better.
