Happy Independence Day!


(I didn't take this picture but wish I had. Love it!)

For several years today has been my favorite holiday. I think it's because the 4th of July is one of the few holidays that is the same as it was over 200 years ago. It's about celebrating freedom. It's about time with family and friends. It's about the more simple things that Hallmark hasn't gotten ahold of yet. I enjoy all things 4th of July! My favorite part of the 4th is the fireworks, hands down. The only bummer part about having P so close to the 4th is that I've missed fireworks the past 2 years. So I'm excited to say that I will get to see them tonight if all goes as planned. This morning Rob, P and I went to watch the local parade. It was during P's naptime so he didn't make it the whole time. But he's been sleeping for almost 3 hours, which I'm hoping ensures fireworks watching tonight with our good friends. Whether you're staying at home or spending time with friends and family, hiding from fireworks or enjoying them, I hope you take time to thank God for the freedoms you are able to enjoy and by all means please thank a soldier for serving for our country!
