Happy fourth of July! We hit the road early this AM, and are heading back to the good ol' USA for this very special holiday. Hope everyone has a wonderful day celebrating 235 years of freedom, liberty, and justice for all (well, it's an ideal we can at least strive for). I want to give a shout out to all the veterans and soldiers on active duty - especially my cousins- that brave bullets and bombs defending our country to keep the American dream alive. Words can't even describe my gratitude, but a sincere 'thank you' is a start. Hope everyone enjoys the bbq, cold beer, friends, and fireworks! I will also be adding 'birthday cake' to that roster, since my awesome father-in-law is turning another year older.  I have been known to start small fires in toasters every now and then, so I will give Lala a break and keep the candles virtual on this occasion. ;) So without further ado....HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DC!!! Hope all your birthday wishes come true.
