I love July 4th. I love it for the sheer fact that we are celebrating America's independence, but I also like to take time to appreciate my personal independence. God has given me a lot to be thankful for this year, but all of those thanksgivings have come through some serious trial & error {not something I'm USUALLY thankful for}. I mean, getting married in and of itself is a seriously TRYING time, people {phew!}. I finally feel at peace with areas of my life that used to bother me so greatly, however, and for that, I am extremely thankful. I can only control myself. I can only control myself. As a teacher, this is a hard mantra to admit. I dropped one of my former players off at college on Sunday {I coach a varsity girls' basketball team}, and I was flooded with a plethora of memories. One, I realized that I had probably never thanked my mom enough for actually putting up with me while moving into my dorm. Two, time flies, and it only means something if you're learning through the process. I'm thankful for learning, and I'm thankful for the freedom to learn in such an amazing country.
Plus, I LOVE red, white & blue {no matter the day and no matter the occasion}.
