We had a solider send off in Wylie today. While we were awaiting the troops to pass by I was thinking of all the times I have seen soldiers in a parade, troops marching up the streets in the news, young men and women in army trucks smiling and waving, and that is what I expected to see this morning. But, this was no parade. These were American soldiers, who said goodbye to their families, loaded up on these very buses, on their way to the airport, to get on a plane and serve their country. These are men and women who woke up in their beds this morning and will not awake in there own homes, near their families, for many months. What amazing people. What heroes.
If ever there was a time for a prayer to be heard. And now is the time, to hear every word. Now that our boys called soldiers have gone, Please march with them and keep them strong. Stand beside them if they have to fight, And in the darkness be their light. Don’t desert them, march in their faith, So they’ll be here when the morning breaks. Bring them home safe and sound, Across the waters to peaceful ground. Home to loved ones, mother’s wives, daughters, sons,Bless them all, each and every one. They stand for freedom and make our flag true,These boys called soldiers for the red, white and blue. A prayer for a soldier, please let it be heard, And please Lord, hear every word. A prayer for a soldier, with the job to be done, Please bring them home, these soldiers your sons. Please bring them home, the soldiers, your sons.

"If you get into a fight, don't take your helmet off," he said. "We're looking for smart football players, not dumb ones. In the interest of time, don't get into any more fights today."
It is a while away but I Can't wait until Tech Football!!! I love our coach!
Today was an awesome day! I started off with a little sleeping in (I am going to start to conquer that now to get back in the swing of waking up early for school!)
Then off to the gym for a little workout. After that I had to quickly shower to make my hair appointment!! Yes I cut it shorter!! I love it! Pictures to come later because I don't feel like digging out my camera right now.
After that I had a little visit with my friend and saw her beautiful baby boy Xander! From there I jetted off to lower greenville to catch one of my favorite bands (introduced to me by Trish) Tilly and the Wall. They tap dance!! They totally rocked! I love love love live music!
SO..the United States used to belong to England, and follow the rule of a king, until a tea party and a massacre changed our destiny. Then GW (not Bush) took charge of the continental army and fought fervently for eight years. In the meantime, a war of words was being waged in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, something we like to call The Declaration of Independence was created.
John Adams, a lawyer, the first Vice President and the Second President of the United States, was one of the members who signed the Declaration of Independence. He wrote to his wife, "I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival... it ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other..."
Let the festivities begin! I started last night with an awesome fireworks show (pictures above) put on by the city of Wylie. I expect pomp and parade, shows, bells, and more illuminations tomorrow!
Also, and most importantly, a beautiful lady (also pictured above, about to be attacked by dinosaurs apparently) was born on this day 83 years ago! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!! LOVE YOU!!
Here is an example of some work I did for a friend. It was of her beautiful kids for her husband for father's day!
Also I bought a new lawn mower...in my quest to be just a little bit green (and to not have to buy gas for a lawn mower) I bought one without a motor!!
It is time for some fireworks!! Happy Fourth Everybody!
