4th of July! Parade & More.

Boy was that day busy. My sister & I woke up at 7 to get ready for the parade in downtown Everett. We only had about 5 hours of sleep because I got home late after spending some time with the boyfriend, than she needed catch me up on things! Lots of things.

We got the Everett Civic Auditorium at around 9:30 with Amy. All the girls were so tired. It was funny. We're all trying to get into our formations and let me tell you, I was out of it! The parade was to start at 11 and end around noon. Our team didn't start out turn 'till noon! Our advisors told us it was just a mile. But it certainly did not feel like it. We had performed our short routine 15 times before we had got up to the judging table.

That was bad! Everyone was screaming, and we only had a little boombox to hear from. We did the routine twice. First time our advisor just played it. I couldn't hear anything so I was following everyone with the counts in my head. Second time they played it off the mic, which was better but than I didn't know where to start!

All in all, I thought we had done good on our first round. The girls are so cute. I can't wait to get our pictures (:

& oh yeah! I'm so happy that my parents were able to make it, even though I didn't want them to but it was a good surprise. I <3 'em. Plus it was good seeing Gabby & Chelsey there! I can't forget Taylor who screamed my name! Embarrasing ! Haha.

Our practices start soon. I am mucho excited, yet lazy. ;D

After that, the day was really beginning. My sister & I went home to change. Than with our parents we went to have lunch in Seattle and than went to the Norgate Mall and bought these hella cute gladiator shoes I've been wanting. My aunt is such a biter cause I told her that I wanted them first! But it's s'all gooood.

Later in the night my mom took myself, the sister, Rachel to Harborview Park to watch some fireworks where we than met up with Johnny & Rassssle! It was hella fun. Even though it was soo cold. It was nice that my mom had stayed with us and she was so chilled with the guys being there. She just laughed and sayed they were hella silly. My mom's cute! I'm so happy that we had finally been able to catch up with each other and I was able to tell her what's been going on.

Overall, my 4th was spent soo good. I loved it. I can't wait for later today for my Grandma, My aunt and her kids to come over. (:
