Happy 4th of July Weekend

Ok, I am a little late on my 4th of July Weekend wishes, but I still hope everyone had a great weekend. We went camping with our friends in Woods Canyon. I must admit I just wasn’t that into it this time like I was for Memorial Day weekend. I definitely was not pumped and not interested in packing the car for a few days in the woods with no toilet and no running water. I decided to suck it up for Andy’s sake since he was pretty excited to go. I am guilty of not helping him pack much. I did pack my clothing and the Tupperware tub of the kitchen necessities, but that was about all the effort I could muster for this trip to the woods. Andy was a trooper since he did the rest of the packing. I was hoping that once we got to the woods that I would get into it and be a superstar camper again, but I just couldn’t get in the mood. I must say that I did have fun with our friends even though I wasn’t feeling it. We left town on Thursday at 5pm after work and were supposed to return on Monday; however, we had a change of plans thanks to our friend Amber. On Saturday morning she woke up to a deflated bed in her tent and she was not interested in staying until Monday with poor sleeping conditions. Once I heard her make that statement I was completely 100% on board with her. Our other friends were planning on leaving on Sunday morning anyway, so if Amber and Brian were also leaving that gave me the ticket to go home too on Sunday. SWEET!!! I was hoping she wasn’t joking as my excitement level just went through the roof in about 2.5 seconds and I surely did not want to be disappointed by her saying she was just kidding. I soon found out that she wasn’t kidding and they were also going to leave on Sunday morning. I suddenly felt like Charlie on Willy Wanka and the Chocolate Factory with the golden ticket. That was two couples down and so that made no sense for Andy and I to stay in the woods by ourselves. So, we packed up our stuff on Sunday morning to head home to a nice warm shower, a running toilet and a soft bed.
Since we got home a day early Andy decided we needed to go to the Cubs game on Monday. Of course I didn’t argue since I just dragged (sort of) him out of the woods. I went to the game with him to cheer on his beloved Cubs and they did win…I believe it was 9 to 4, or something like that. All that matters is that they won. Go Cubbies!
