new traditions

if there's one thing you should know about me:

I don't like change.

I love holiday traditions. Love is an understatement. I will not be a happy camper if my traditions are out of the norm.

Well, this 4th of July was all about getting me out of my comfort zone... something I do not handle well. (just ask Hunter)

Well, first I was in Huntsville for the 4th of July.  I don't think I have ever not been with my family for the 4th of July.  I have spent the 4th with Lindsay's family before, but that consisted of the same traditions - BBQ, lake, thunder on the mountain.  This year consisted of NO BBQ, NO LAKE, NO THUNDER ON THE MOUNTAIN OLIVE GARDEN, SWIMMING IN THE RAIN, FIREWORKS AT THE ROCKET.  Although it was quite different from my normal 4th of July I loved every minute, even if I didn't seem like it in the moment.  I was so thankful to spend it with Hunter and start our own little traditions.  

The good news: even when things in our life change... "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." -Hebrews 13:8

P.S. Don't try to go get BBQ in Huntsville at 6:30 pm on the 4th of July... none of the restaurants are open.
