FLASHBACK - JULY 4 2009

ROUND 8

JULY 4, 2009

Independence Day - Last year

I was 200% positive I was going to get "The Call" at the parade

Showered, dressed in my cutest outfit, and ready to drive to California....

Kday and I rode our cruizers to the parade and I checked my phone

I checked my phone over and over and over

and over

and over

We went swimming at my mom's house and I didn't get my hair wet because I wanted to look good when we got to California. And I checked my phone

over and over and over and over

We went to the family BBQ - I thought "how perfect would it be if we got the call right now, while we're with the entire family!

We didn't

We went to the fireworks and I kept my phone in my hand the entire night. I looked around and tried to soak the entire day in. Would this be our last  "single" 4th of July? 

The fireworks ended - I hung my head and we walked home hand in hand with Kday.

We climbed into bed and l remember laying on my back next to Kday and 

I said, "I can't believe it Kevin, I really thought she was coming today." 

He said, "I know Shan - but today was a perfect day together. I'm kind of glad we got to enjoy it.... she'll come. When she's ready." 

I tried to sleep.

And somewhere around 4:30 am (Utah time) when the sky was quiet and the moon was full... It was time to get the party started. 

While I was deep in slumber.... I had no clue what was about to rock my world...
