Happy 4th of July!

I am so thankful for my country!  I am amazed at the beautiful places I have seen, from the San Francisco bridge, the beautifully majestic rockies that I get to see everyday, the amazing sunset on Sunset beach, the beautiful sunshine in Florida, the ever busy Time Square, I have seen a zillion stars in the sky at Lake Powell, I have seen amazing waterfalls, beautiful meadows, and amazing arches! I love that I have been given the choice to practice whatever religion I want. We are all so lucky to live in a country that has given everyone a voice, education, freedom. I am thankful to those who protect my freedom by sacrificing theirs.  I am grateful for the protection and peace I feel! Wow- how lucky am I not only to be born as an American, but into the church as well!

Amy, thanks for that! It is great to reflect on that and count our blessings. I love David's outfit. I have to say it is much better than what my children put together. Andrew is getting so big. I can't believe that he is eating solids. He is a doll!

I have to say that July is my favorite month, full of my favorite holidays. I am truly grateful to live in this country, for the flag and all that it stands for.
