Today's the cookout for Dad and Uncle Pete.

We're having it at our house this year.

Last year we had it at Uncle Pete and Aunt Gina's.

We had the time of our lives.

I hope we have a good time this year as well.

I just woke up and took a shower.

The cookout starts in 2 hours so I gotta get outside and help set up tents and tables and chairs.

Dad went over to Grandma Viv's to talk with her about something.

He said she said it was urgent so he dashed over there.

TJ spent the whole weekend here.

Last night me, him, River, Jordan, and Aaron hung out at the old saw mill on Cyrus Road.

We drank beer and talked shit.

TJ & Aaron even shared a kiss.

Aaron is seeing a psychologist.

He's making good progress according to TJ.

I hope he keeps up the good work.

TJ has really been helping him with this.

He's been to 3 sessions with him so far.

I wish they'd go ahead and get together.

There was a knock on my door.

The door opened.

It was Xander.

XANDER: MOM SAYS GET YOUR ASS OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. THE TABLES, CHAIRS, AND TENTS JUST GOT HERE.

OLIVIA: I HEARD THAT XANDER.

XANDER: COME ON MA.

OLIVIA: YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID.

XANDER: YES MA'AM.

GAVIN: I'M FINNA COME OUTSIDE.

XANDER: YEAH.

He walked out and he closed my door.

Let me call River to come over and help.

I grabbed my phone and called him.

The phone rang.

RIVER: SUP BOO.

GAVIN: HEY BOO. WHAT YOU DOING?

RIVER: I JUST GOT THROUGH CLEANING MY ROOM. I'M TIRED AS HELL. WHAT YOU UP TO?
