Happy Birthday USA

I can't believe it's already that time of year. Summer is in full swing and we're celebrating the 4th of July again. It was a quiet day, but a good one. I was able to spend time with Jeff and my family, and relax.

This has always been a special holiday. When I was little my dad used to take me and my little sister to a local parade in the morning and then we'd usually end up at a family barbecue. But the most important thing about this holiday is to remember what a great country this truly is and how fortunate I am to live here.

Thank you to all of the men and women who bravely serve our country every day. Have a happy 4th of July everybody!
