I'm trying to find ways to be more greatful so I'm going to make Tuesday ,"Thankful Tuesday" on my blog, hopefully it will remind me of all of the wonderful things in my life as well as keeping me posting.
I've said it before and I'll say it again I am so thankful for my kids having such great friends. These two beautiful girls have been best friends since they were 3 years old. They absolutely adore each other. We were a little worried when the Cowleys moved to Venice, but these 2 have stayed such good friends. I think it's kind of fun for them to have a friend they can talk to about everything like problems at school, boys of course, and all the other fun stuff teenage girls have to deal with. They compliment each other so well and we just love Erica to pieces.
The 4th of July means a lot of different things to different people. First and foremost we are celebrating our independence. We celebrate those that fought for our country and who are still fighting for our freedoms. Every community has their own way of celebrating and for the family of Salina firemen, it is pretty much the same every year. For us it means celebrating from before sun up to way past sundown. This year was no exception for everyone but me. I have been so stinkin sick. I dont know what I have, but it sucks. I did manage to make it to the parade only cause Jordan was riding on the Jr. Miss North Sevier float. But I pretty much missed everything else, including the fireworks. The kids said they were great!! Way to go Salina Fire Dept. Even though I didn't get to participate in all the festivities, I am so happy that I live in a free country and I am so incredibly greatful for those that make that possible for me and my family.
