Nice to meet you, Alex

No I am not referring to some new, hot guy that I met and fell in love with. I am talking about tropical storm Alex. It was a hurricane, but according to channel 13's weather forecast I just watched at 7:59 AM it has downgraded to a tropical storm. What a wimp. If you are going to ruin my work schedule and weekend with your rain I say go all out, be a man, be a hurricane. Today is a depressing day for this storm to hit. It was supposed to be our last day of swim lessons for our 2nd session. We were supposed to be done! Instead, we will have to work again tomorrow, if the weather is better that is. I love my job, but I need a break from the boogers and kicks in the stomach and scratches on my arms. Yeah, bet you didn't know teaching kids to swim was so violent. On a bright note, I do have fun plans for the 4th of July weekend. Of course it will be probably be raining the entire time, but I will not let it get me down! My very best friend Bryce (yes he is a boy and he is just a friend, deal with it) and his family rented a bay house for the weekend and me and Emily are going to stay with them. The plan is to fish, go to the beach, tan, eat, and fish some more. Bryce is determined to turn me into a pro fishergirl by the end of the weekend. I'm not even kidding when I say that he has asked me to come over for "casting lessons" everyday this week, AND he read an article about taking girls fishing. Obviously, I have not participated in any casting lessons because that is just dumb, and as for the fishing article well, I don't think anything will prepare Bryce for what he's getting himself into by taking Emily and I fishing. I have the attention span of a 5 year old and Emily is probably the dumbest person in the world. And I say that with love. All I'm sayin is if I don't catch a fish I will be real mad. Like someone will have a hook to the face and be pushed in the water mad. There are some fireworks to enjoy just in case the weather prevents you from seeing them this weekend. Or in case your life isn't as great as mine and you don't have anywhere to watch a spectacular light show like this.

One last thing. I got the text yesterday welcoming baby Colin James McDavid to the world. I am so excited for KK, Dax, and big brother Reese! Bailey did us all a favor and posted pics of Colin and the happy family on facebook, and I must say he is precious. I can't wait to meet him!

Have a happy 4th of July, America. And stay dry!

-Starsy out!
