Land of the Free...

Because of the Brave!

¸.•*´¯) Happy 4th of July !! (¯`*•.¸ 
WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...
Please remember only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you..JESUS CHRIST and an AMERICAN SOLDIER. One died for your soul, the other, for your freedom. 

GOD BLESS THE USA!!!

 Mom and I went to Thunder on the Mountain. We got there at 5 and the show didn't start until 9...lol. But it was fun people-watching and talking. And later on, Stephen and his friend, Michael met up with us and watched the fireworks. 


 The fireworks weren't that spectacular this year. But it was still a lot of fun. AND I only cried once. :) I'm so emotional lately. Deployment and 4th of July just don't go well together. But, you know me...I cry at just about everything. :P 


Really wish Jeremy could've been there to watch with us. But I recorded it for him so he could at least see some fireworks this 4th of July. And we're going to have fireworks at his Homecoming party. I can't wait!! Only a little bit longer! I'm ready to kick this deployment to the curb! 

[Ignore the streetlight please :]

Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July! Happy Independence Day America! Thanks to all of our Soldiers and their families! Especially those serving overseas. *My husband and his unit included!* I am so proud of you Honey! I love you!

This Saturday...

was uneventful. Yesterday, I finished one scrapbook page and started planning the second. The finished result...

Then, Mom and I went to church at OneEighty and listened to the band play. Afterwards there were fireworks! :) It was a lot of fun. Except for the bugs which are always attracted to me....Mom and Jeremy say it's because I'm sweet! :P

 The fireworks were so beautiful! I can hardly wait for tomorrow night. We're going to Thunder on the Mountain. Or as Jeremy and I have both accidentally called it, "Fire on the Mountain". LOL. 


 But today, all I did was watch the last 20 minutes of My Best Friend's Wedding and Run-Away Bride. :) Two of my favorite Julia Roberts movies and afterwards, I scrapbooked! I finished the page I started planning yesterday.

 And then I almost finished a new one. This one took me several hours to make. I had to paint some of the paper, find different embellishments to add to it, and layout the design over and over again until it fit the way I wanted, before I attached anything to the base paper. It was a lot of work, but I am really pleased with the outcome! 

 The only thing that isn't attached is our last name at the top. :P My back was killing me after sitting hunched over it for hours! But I still love scrapbooking! Now I just need to print off a few thousand more pics...
