Celebrating our independence!

Shocking, I know, but here's a little tease making you think I'm back again... Don't get too excited! :)

The fourth wknd seemed to be filled with fun filled activities: a waterpark; Mexican food; boating; fireworks; movie at home; church; walks around the hood; BBQ at a friends; another movie; taking my little sis to carnival games; lunch BBQ; tennis; 4 fourth BBQ dinners (don't worry... Only ate at one) and more fireworks then followed by our own fireworks!

I'm grateful for this country and the freedoms we have to be able to enjoy life and live it to it's fullest. I'm happy I was able to celebrate with fun loving friends. I didn't have my camera, but here our a few shots I do have! God bless America!

Grateful for health!

So it's obviously been a while, and even longer since I've gotten pics off my camera. When I came upon this photo from Christmas Eve, I couldn't help but post it in gratitude for health. Working where I do, I'm constantly reminded of the gift of life and how precious it is. Work is one thing and then when it hits in your own home, it adds another element. I've counted my blessings a lot recently.

Heritage

I'm grateful for my heritage and the legacy they have left to follow. As I hung these pictures (given at Christmas by my parents as per my request for pics of the grandparents) I thought of the amazing qualities each person had.


My parents and grandparents are inspirational. How lucky I am to be blessed by their unconditional love, hard work, faith, devotion and charity.
