Freedom

Freedom: Fourth of July is known as our Independence Day. This was the day my parents left us to our own "freedom" in Kansas City. Freedom can be a very scary thing when you are in a place you don't know very well and that you are living there for the next two years. Panic set in once we were alone! We hadn't been by ourselves since the beginning of May. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. To get us out of the house, I decided we should find where the fireworks were going to be set off. (Sounds like a good idea right?!) Well coming from a small place like Johnson City to a big place like Kansas City is very overwhelming. We got lost in the first ten minutes we were looking. We even had directions and still got lost. Real fast we learned that it is not so easy to turn around in a big city. Eventually, we just followed a car to where we thought there would be fireworks. Crazy I know! Somehow though, we found the fireworks.It was well worth the journey it took to get there. Kris and I were able to relax and just enjoy the fireworks! We then decided it may not be so bad being by ourselves in Kansas City.
