they just keep coming

Bud,
So this week has been full of memories of you: On Sunday we had a pool party for the 4th of July with awesome friends and family.  Something you would be surprised to hear, we have become friends with Manu, Kai and Omari and family. They all came. They are awesome people.  So weird that your passing is what brought us to meet.  We all had a fun time, but you were definitely missed.  For me there were times when I expected you to jump in the pool, come out of the house with your BBQ gear or be running around late night cleaning up the mess.  Then the fourth and fireworks. Something that you loved so much.  Where to go to see the best fireworks.  I think I have seen them more places then anyone else thanks to you.  I was thinking of last year at the top of the parking garage to watch at the Angels and then racing over to catch the Disneyland show.  This year we just walked down to the park and watched from there.  Lilly held her first sparkler and thought it was amazing! Wish it was you that would have lit it for her.  And now today, July 7, our anniversary. I remember 2 things like yesterday: 1.  When we first started dating on your graduation, spent every day together from that date until the end of the summer and on July 7 you asked, so are we dating? 2. On July 7 2004, our 10th anniversary, the first after we were married and you said to me, "we don't celebrate 2 anniversaries now, right?" 7794 was our password for everything for years. 
The week will end with an Angels game, our first without you.  We're going with Manu, his wife Stephanie and their 2 little ones.  If you don't already know, the Angels are doing pretty freakin good this year and hopefully won't disappoint like your Lakers did. And yes, I changed your tow-hitch for you to your Angels.

The end to a week that had some fun but always had a big hole in it for me.  I miss you.

Luv ya,
Jenn
