In a general sense of the word, the United States is a pretty good place to live.
We can argue politics until we're blue in the face, but when it boils down to it, I look at my life as it is, and the roads I have before me, and I know that I have been truly blessed to live in this country.
That's not to say that other countries aren't great as well, because they are, but this post is a recap of our Independence Day so all I need, really, is a *fist bump* and a 'Merica.
Or what have you.
This year it was just The Man and myself.
We made sure we covered the basics.
Concerts, face painting, and booths in the park. Check.
Lemonade type drink. Check.
Mexican Food... Well, 'Merica can't have them all.
Movie in a cool theater with popcorn and milkduds. Check.
Sushi...
Discover the wonder that is Gordman's. Check.
Rodeo. Check.
(Everyone knows that the bulls are the best)
Motorcross. Check.
(Those mountains in the background... perfection)
Sno-cones. Check.
Big, giant, fantastical fireworks in the park. Check.
It's no wonder that this holiday is my second favorite (108 days until Halloween). The only things that were missing was swimming and The Circus.
As it is, I count myself lucky every day that the man I married truly is my best friend, and I couldn't imagine spending the holiday in a better way.
