We had a lovely day today.
We:
1.Went to Lowes to get more fence supplies.
2.Played outside ALL day while Mike worked on the fence.
3. Made a great decision to NOT go to the beach for fireworks! (oh the rain we had!)
4. Watched the movie UP with the girls :)
5. Watched fireworks on tv while the girls dance to the festive 4th of July music.
I am not sure if today has meant as much to me as it did today. I've understood the meaning of the 4th, I am reminded each day of our freedom as the Navy fighter jets fly over our house and I am so grateful for being an American.
But, today was different. As the world is in turmoil. As I watch all of the things happening around the world I thank God that we are not there but instead in the safety of our own home, I could not be more grateful for the life we have. We are so very blessed to be in the position we are and to have the freedoms we do.
As I watched our girls dance this evening and how Lily wanted to sing Happy Birthday at dinner, I realize how much this country should mean to us and to everyone else. I hope in the years (and political elections) to come that the people of this country try to make it the best for our children and grandchildren.
Happy 4th to everyone and
Happy Birthday to the red, white and blue.
