Four Days to Play

Independence Day. That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout. Whoever thought up the 4th of July on a Friday, plus giving Monday off to our sad little over-worked selves is a saint. Johnson of the Office, patron saint of four-day weekends and Christmas hams.

I had a rockin’ Fourth of July weekend, which Adam chronicled in his weekend update. I won’t go through the whole thing again, but here are my top three moments.

  1. Ramona with Phirsten. I have an affinity for small towns, and Ramona/Julian totally fits the bill. We had a giant country breakfast, saw every fire truck in Julian on parade, watched a movie on the comfiest couch ever and took the only two pictures I think the four of us have together.
  2. Wedding site with mom and dad. It’s all happening. We’re getting married and my folks were there to see our spot and dream with us. So cool.
  3. Surfing at San Onofre. It was actually my first time on a real board, but it was a blast. The water was cold, the sun was hot, my fiance was hot too, and it was the most perfect, relaxing, awesome Monday I have ever had. Every Monday I have from now on will struggle in the shadow of such an great day. Help us out, Saint Johnson! We’re dying in our air-conditioned, flourescent-lit purgatory!
