Yesterday was Independence Day. A holiday I love because I love my country.
Daniel and I went to IHOP for breakfast and then went to Wal-Mart to pick up some odds and ends. When we got home we watched "The Patriot." It's one of my favorite movies that I only watch every few years. It's the only movie where I actually like Mel Gibson.
Around 5:30pm we headed to Temple Park (Missionary field in front of the Provo Temple.) Daniel and I had volunteered to do some patrolling to make sure people were following the rules. It went smoothly and we had a lot of fun! Especially since we met up with a fellow crew member and his family was super nice. They fed us and we played games. After Daniel and I clocked out we watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks. They were definitely not impressive, but I enjoyed spending time with my husband.
Those fireworks marked an end in a small chapter in my life. That was my last day as a grounds worker......at least for this summer. :) I love working grounds and maybe I will go back in the fall if I can't work enough hours with my research position. But I don't think that will happen.
I just want to say how much I am blessed. I am grateful to be an American citizen. I am thankful for where my life is at this moment. Things are working out well for me....maybe not in the timing I would prefer...but it seems that I am always watched over no matter what.
I will be graduating in two semesters. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been happier going straight to a University instead of going to Community College, but then I realize that I wouldn't have Daniel. Daniel is worth the extra few years it has taken to get my bachelors. I love my ward. I love my apartment. I love my job. I love my friends. I love my family. I love the Gospel. I am just so incredibly blessed.
