Grateful........

We had an amazing day today!!  Gorgeous weather.  We finally hit pool weather and it was like every person came out of hibernation.  I just love warm weather.  We started out the day enjoying a parade with neighbors.  A quick, don't blink, parade but the kids still loved it and we loved showing support to our veterans.

Then heading back home and finished up our garden.  What an awesome time to have Ben and I planting and just listening to the kids running around.  I can't describe how I love hearing them.

  Loud.  Laughing. 

I can truly say when it's days like this and everyone is enjoying themselves there can never be enough kids running around for me!!

So that is why I am grateful.  We are able to do and say what we believe FREELY.  We are able to pray FREELY.  We can listen to whatever tv and radio station we like FREELY.   We are able to LIVE and LOVE.  We are FREE because of those who have fought for OUR FREEDOM!

There are many veterans in our family. One of them is my dad!  Thank you dad for fighting for this country.  Thank you for helping give us the freedom that we take for granted too many times.  

We are all so GRATEFUL! 

Thank you to all the veterans who have put their lives on the line for all of us!!
