There's always hot dogs and hamburgers cooked on the grill(cooked to a crisp with charcoal is a must!), laying out by the pool, and of course, family and friends.
D and I had the opportunity to go to Texas for the 4th of July weekend. I was excited to see my family, eat some amazing food (that I don't have to cook-thanks, Dad!), and see some old friends. The small town where I'm from always seems to stay the same, which could be bad or good depending on the context.
This time it was different. I felt a little off (could be just me). Something just wasn't right.
Although I loved seeing my family, I realized things will just never be the same. Old friends have moved. My old ward barely consists of the church family I once felt I had.
Some of this was a little depressing to think about, but I realized that I'm growing up. Changes can be really good, and often help us grow. I know I have changed a lot over the past few years and I'd like to think it's been the better. Although being back in Texas was different, I still brought a lot of good memories with me back home to AZ.
