Celebrating our 4th of July

I've always considered myself patriotic but this year was just a little more special. I am so grateful for all the men and women who fight for our country and keep us safe. I am also so grateful for a loving husband who will do whatever it takes to take care of his family. Brock is an amazing husband and father. He is an amazing provider and I am truly lucky to call him my husband.



This 4Th of July weekend we went up to Show Low like every year to watch the parade, eat my father-in-law's super delicious steaks and watch the fireworks. I swear we have the best seats in town, right in my in-laws backyard. Don't have to deal with the traffic or crowds and they shoot them off not far from their house. I love it up there! It was weird not having Brock up there. We have gone up every year for the past 5 years and this year he wasn't there. I teared up a few times when I thought about it.



Well, another amazing thing happened this weekend, Brock called on Friday afternoon and we were able to talk for 45 minutes!!!!!!!!!! Oh, it was so great! I needed to hear his voice. He's going great. He said boot camp is so easy. The hardest thing about it is just being away from the kids. Well he graduates from boot camp in less than 3 weeks. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited I can't even stand it!!!! Allen and Delsa are flying out with me on Thursday and will be there for Graduation on Friday, then they will fly out the same day and I'm going to stay through the weekend because Brock has liberty (vacation) the whole weekend. So we are going to spend some quality time together if you know what I mean, *wink wink*. Ohh I'm so excited!

Owen watching the parade. That lasted for about 5 minutes. He just can't sit still for more then a second before he's ready for something new.
