For the record, I know it's technically already July 5th, but I hope anyone who comes across this blog had a wonderful Fourth of July. I know I sure did. I suppose it all started with straight tequila shots last night. Saturday night, whatever. That ended up with me and John in the back seat of my car. You know the rest. But that was just a precursor for today. Today was awesome. As I think back on it, the whole thing just makes me smile.
The day started out kinda slow, but once John and I got to the party at his cousin's house, things really picked up fast. For one thing, we started drinking as soon as we showed up. Rum, tequila, margaritas, mojitos, a little homemade sangria...there was certainly a buzz going around. John and I were pretty tipsy by late afternoon. But it made for a little fun in the bathroom. Ha. Anyway, we swam and drank and partied hard all afternoon, and then we went downtown for the annual fireworks show. We met up with my parents and sat with them for the fireworks. Surprisingly, it went well. Very well.
After the fireworks, John was supposed to go back to his cousin's house to spend the night, but apparently they forgot about him because we went back and we were completely locked out. So we settled for dinner and a movie at my grandparents' house. We watched When In Rome and I made a DiGiorno pizza. I must say, it wasn't half bad. After the movie, I took John home. My grandpa came with us, to make sure I was "safe" being out so late. I almost wish he hadn't come, but it's okay that he did. John just made me feel all swoozy when I dropped him off. He told me how he wished I could come inside with him. And he kissed me the way I love to be kissed. Then he proceeded to shower me with kisses up and down my neck and tell me that he was "horny as hell", which of course gave me butterflies. But of course I had to leave and go home. It's okay though. It was just one of those moments that makes me smile whenever I think about it.
And that brings me here. Laying on my bed, thinking about what an awesome day I had. The only thing that could've made it better would've been if John and I could've spent the night together. I tried to make that happen earlier at his cousin's house, but my parents didn't go for it. Just another downside of not being 18 yet, I suppose. Oh well. Soon enough, John and I will get to come home to one another and lay in bed and watch movies and cuddle. Much like I wish we could do now. I can't wait to lay down under my soft, cool sheets and drift off to sleep, but it'd be so much better if my baby were here with me.
Come to think of it, everything's better when he's with me. We talked about that on the way home tonight. I said I don't know what I'd do without him, and he said, "The same thing you did before you started dating me." But I told him I couldn't do that. I was so different then. Before he came back into my life, I was just a sad and lonely teenager. I had no life, no self-esteem, nothing. I was just here, and my life wasn't anything special. Now, all that's changed. I'm so different from the person I was two years ago. I have confidence now. I have friends now. My life has so much meaning. And he's the cause of it. I told him that he brings out the best in people, and I think that's really true. He has a gift for that, and I hope he holds onto it forever.
Anyway, I think the day has finally caught up to me, and I'm ready for bed. I just wanted to say that my Fourth of July weekend was amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better day. In fact, I wish every holiday could be that much fun.
And before I go, know this. If there is someone in your life who brings out the best in you and the people around you, hold onto them. They will change your life.
Goodnight everyone.
