Last night our friends, the future Locklears, showed us one of the funniest, most brilliant video series ever. It’s the Drunk History series by Derek Waters. This guy films his drunk friends talking about a random historical event. I think there are 4 or 5 videos in the series.
This one is my favorite, but #3 is right up there.

From our president and also an amazing 27-year old:
So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America’s birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:
“Let it be told to the future world…that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive…that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it].”
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God’s grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

Our vacation ended and we’re back in Seattle. Work started back Monday and then school two days later. But honestly, I haven’t thought much about anything in the past week except Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Work was spent figuring out how to read my book?inconspicuously and class was spent counting down the minutes until I could cuddle up in my bed and read. Poor Josue (we’re back in Seattle now). I have seriously neglected him and accused him too many times of not being enough like Edward. He’s a trooper though and has been nothing but gracious to me and my obsession… even taking me to see the movie on Friday.?
Honestly, I don’t feel as lame as I think I should for liking this series. I think that’s because all of my girlfriends and maybe 1 or 2 of my guy friends feel the same way about them.?
I did not expect this kind of love when I stated the first book. I didn’t even really like it. But then it hooked me and the majority of my time for the past week has been spent reading. I’m completely finished now (except for watching all of the YouTube videos about the making of the movie). Josue is glad to have his wife back and I’m sad to leave Edward.?
Isn’t being a tween awesome?
