Happy 4th of July!!

I was cleaning the house today as I really thought about the 4th of July and freedom and all that. If you really think about it we truly take freedom for granted. We can get in our cars and go to the grocery and we don't have to worry about getting killed by a roadside bomb. Or we can go to the park and we don't have to fear seeing someone else getting shot. Because we have people right now that are fighting for their lives and our lives. There are two people that I pray for ALL the time that are fighting for me and you, Pete and Matt Newman.

Although I am VERY happy to say that Peter Newman is on American soil!! And I thank God that he made it home safely. And I hear that Matt is not far behind Peter. Thank God. My family and I went to the fireworks in Defiance. (which were awesome) And I sat there thinking about how God has given us such a huge gift in our freedom. So just thank God that your sitting in the comfort of your own home while there are people fighting for your freedom.

It was Megan's first fireworks on Sunday. But she slept through them. Hee Hee. And man were they LOUD!!! She's so funny!!!

I'm so glad to hear Pete is home (at least back in the good 'ol USA!!!) and that Matt will be home soon. We really are lucky to live in this country, aren't we? America ROCKS!!! LOL!
