4th of July

     For 4th of July this year we stayed home. We were going to go to a park close by but we decided just to watch fire works from our house. We grilled up some hot dogs and played outside with the pups. I was trying to take a picture with the dogs but Gus kept leaving and Butter would follow, oh well.  

      I'm always reminded of how lucky I am on fourth of July. It makes me so sad that we can't be so patriotic for our country ALL of the time. I'm always telling Mike that this world we live in now sucks! Why are people the way they are. And now with the court ruling over same sex marriage it was double depressing. It makes me so sad how it's the minority to be Christian. To be moral and wait till you're married seems like it's such an old fashioned thing to do and people will look at you like you have 2 heads. It makes me so sad that Christians are the bad people now, for "hating" gays. That devil is so smart and is doing a good job at turning every one against each other. What happened to "one nation, under God" This world couldn't be farther away from that now. I don't know if these past 5 years have gotten worse, or if it is that I'm just focusing on the bad going around us. It's just so sad and depressing what's going on out there. Christians are bad, whites are racist, Mexicans are rapists, cops are bad, I mean really!? Such a divided nation.

      None the less I should be grateful that I have the freedoms that I do. There would be no way I would have the education, my house, my car, and my husband if I lived in Mexico. I'm thankful my mom and dad brought me and raised me in this country. I'm so unbelievably thankful to all those men and women who fight for me every day and it makes me so sad that they have to come back to disabilities and things like PTSD. I will always be grateful for their great service.
