Happy 4th of July {2014}!!!

(image source here)

The 4th of July is definitely one of my favorites to celebrate! There are so many fun things I think of when it comes to this long, holiday weekend: being with family, camping, BBQs and cookouts, fireworks, sparklers, lawn games, and everything else that is 'Merica!
Then I started thinking about what the holiday meant to me and I feel blessed. Being truly free and able to have a celebration (with family and friends) on this calendar day every year is not something every person gets to experience. I am very thankful for the road that our country has traveled to get to the point of freedom and for the men and women who still defend that right to the present day.
Let us celebrate this fourth with a grateful heart and not forget the little things that we may take for granted every day.
