July 4Th was just a regular day around here! Sad huh. We don't have family ( I know our choice) But it is TOOOO hot outside. Because I had done a wedding the day before, we were just so excited to have a day where we were together. We all were able to be a little lazy and enjoy each other fully. We did enjoy a yummy hamburger, some yummy pasta salad and brownies with Ice cream. Swimming in the pool in the back yard and lots of love and kisses. No fireworks for us. We are still unsure of how Ty will do with them AND at ten at night it is still in triple digits.I am so glad that I live in a country where we have the freedoms we do today. There has been so many freedoms I take for granted that I can't forget those who died who have made those freedoms possible.
I am so thankful for the freedom of religion that has been granted to us. Despite the uproar on my blog, I can't express enough my love for my Savior. I can't imagine living in the days that persecution raged on the poor early settlers.
I am thankful for the right to be anything I want to be. That right has landed me at home with Tyler and Dallas. Being a mom and watching my husband be the best he can be and to be going after the pursuit of happiness and the ability to be successful.
Most of all I am thankful for the men and women who have fought to keep us free. I hope they know that we all appreciate the sacrifice they make for our Country, for me and for my family.
Thank you! Freedom isn't free. Thank you for fighting for our Country.
