Some call it a party, others call it a moment to honor America's pride. I call it a tradition. Every 4th of July, my sister and I throw an extremely hectic party. Over time, each party has become more successful than the last one. To me, this is not just a party, this is a tradition that involves a madness. The madness starts 3 days before 7/4...In those 3 days, we clean the house, plan the food recipes, calculate our budget, clean the house some more, and prepare the food overnight. On the day of the party, I wake up early and work in the kitchen all. damn. day. Haha (: Even though I am drained of my energy by the end of the night after all of the fireworks have been lit and the crowd has departed, I feel that sweet tingling feeling inside of me, a whisper in my head that says, "We will do it all again next year."
I enjoy this tradition, this madness, and the birth of our country: the United States of America. <3
Last night, I had the greatest time in a while. I loved that I had Alejandro and his sister, and my sister by my side, supporting me throughout the entire day. Seeing people that are so close to me helping me makes me smile inside. It doesn't matter how much work there is to do, or how tiring it is, I love hosting parties because I love to see others enjoy and have a good time. They said that the fruit tarts, cheesecakes, lemon cheesecakes, sushi, and chicken/veggie skewers were wonderful. (: I guess I am awesome with my cooking skills...But without the help from Kevin, Jimmy, Christine, Winnie, Sophia, Alejandro, and Stephanie, I would not have been able to host the party. Seriously. XD I hope that all of the 4th of July's in the future will be as fantastic as this year's, if not better. I love love love Alejandro <3 <3 <3 <3
** Woke up at 4:30A.M. on July 5, 2011 because my legs were soooooo sore from all of the standing and working from July 4, 2011. Yeah, I worked hard...and it paid off! ;]
