things i love this memorial day weekend

• a picnic in the park with friends and family
• staying up until 3 reading a ridiculous Christian romance . . . and not caring since i don't have to work in the morning
  
• getting new contacts that actually aren't blurry
• Unbeatable Banzuke--it's like Ninja Warrior on steroids
• Hy-Vee brown sugar & cinnamon bagels ($0.79 each)
• American Gladiators marathon
  
• the National Memorial Day Concert. it always makes me cry . . . especially when they do the Armed Forces medley, and all the veterans stand and sing their branch's anthem.

Here are some pictures from our picnic. (It's my first slide show . . . here's hoping it works!)
