"Land of the Free, Home of the brave!" The 4th of July is one of the best holidays in my opinion. Every year it is a fun day we get to spend with family and celebrate out freedoms. Since getting married the holiday has changed a bit, but it is just as much fun. we start out with a breakfast with Gentry's family and then we usually have a fun day of swimming! This is always fun with the whole fam!
That evening like most of you we watch fireworks with all the little kids and every year which is always fun. Although I enjoy this day as time to spend with family it is much more than that. The 4th is a day when we celebrate the incredible freedoms that we have here on this land. The freedom to worship how we want, who we want or what we want. Right now it is a time to remember the troops that are in some cases sacrificing everything to protect the freedoms of people they have never met and never will. It is a time to stand proud of a successful country that provides so many blessings to its citizens and remember the great men and women that stood up for freedom at a time when they could have just as easily done nothing, but instead their courage forged a nation that would stand strong for it's people. There are so many things to be grateful for on the 4th of July. Here are a few things I'm grateful for this 4th of July...
