Branson 4th of July

I was able to go out and visit Jaren in Missouri over the 4th of July holiday. I was able to "pin" him with his new first lieutenant rank. He's no longer on the bottom of the officer chain, he's one step up. We went to Branson to spend the few days we had together.
While there we went on a river cruise on a paddlewheel boat. Along the river I found my dream home!
We found a cool train in town we wanted to ride but when we were there the tracks were being worked on so we just took a picture in front of it.
We did a bit of window shopping in the old down town Branson and found a leg lamp like the one on A Christmas Story ("You'll shoot your eye out"). What a nice picture of Jaren next to it! We watched the fireworks in a dinky country town that was shooting them off. Definitely not Fort Vancouver fireworks but it was still fun. The traffic in the whole area was awful so we took all kinds of detours to get around it. It was nice being able to see each other. Saying goodbye again was VERY hard! At least we made it through. -Emily
