Alexis and I came to Elko with Jonathon again... and right now he is on days.. So the 4th of July was not that fun for us. I think Elko's parade was on Saturday, but I didn't really feel comfortable going by ourselves without Jonathon.. and I wasn't even sure where it was or what time it started. I'm sad that we weren't at home for all the celebrations. I keep thinking that I'm lucky that I get to just sit and relax all day in the hotel... but I was bored out of my mind after the second day. Alexis is having a blast.. because she can go swimming all day long if she wants to. Every morning I wake up to "Mom wake up! It's time to go swimming." Don't get me wrong I enjoy swimming.. But if I don't go for a while.. I won't be to upset. I'm glad that we get to be here when Jonathon gets off work.. It helps his week go by quickly. But I don't know how often I'm going to be able to come do this. I've learned that I am NOT someone that likes to just sit around and watch T.V. I feel like I have to be doing something. So we've walked to the park.. walked to the store.. and yup you guessed it.. we have swam. Ok enough complaining.. I should be glad that I don't have to be away from my husband for a week.. and I am. I think I'm just sad that we missed the celebrations. I got Alexis ready in her 4th of July shirt last night for the Fireworks.. and we had a good time watching them! We get to go home tomorrow :) Yay, I'm very excited! Happy 4th to everyone!
