America.

I am so incredibly thankful I was born in America.

I haven't really thought about being born elsewhere,

but at the mention of that it is a very odd thought.

I love those who have helped build and "maintain" our great country.

When I was at Deseret Book last night 

my roommate an I saw this painting:

I love how there are people from throughout time representing EVERYONE in it.

More?

Go here and read about each of the people and their impacts.

While I am on this subject I want to throw in things from my most favorite book in the whole world:

The Book of Mormon

I have been reading the last few chapters or Mormon and they are amazing. I love how Moroni discusses the last days and seeing us and how we are and he wonders why we are so pride filled and why we seek after riches, it makes me sad as I realize the truth to it all. Then he bares HIS testimony of the gospel and of Jesus Christ.

It all makes me see how I want to become better and how I can.

Then in Ether I love how the Lord talks of this land, our land, AMERICA, being the choice land above all others and it gives me chills as I think over history and think of the miraculous Revolutionary War and the men and women that helped to achieve the founding of the United States of America and what has commenced here since.

Sunday Drives

Life is Beautiful.

See?
*sigh*

I love going on drives.

Sunday makes them most possible.

Michelle and I loved it.

And we got to chase some of these.
Pretty cool. Even if it happens all the time.
And then we visited some horses.

There are few better ways to enjoy the beautiful country
in which I get to live EACH day than the way I did.
I am PROUD to be an American.

Update!

Actually I found my sisters blog and pictures are abundant there so I can share more of life! I got to go home for the 4th of July and I got to go home on the 2nd due to the 3rd being celebrated in Logan. On the third this was the weather smack in the middle of the afternoon (all day had been sunny) . . .

That's right - HAIL! It left TONS of water! The streets of Arco had large puddles filling them!

And then after this we went and worked on the parade float for Mountain View RV Park and Cafe - I used to work here and now my brother Cody and sister Shayna do.

This is me, Mom, and Dad enjoying the parade! Not only was it 4th of July but Arco has been around 100 years too! We went to the fireworks later that night and forgot the camera but as usual they were great and the rumble off the mountains was amazing! I hope you all had a great Independence Day! It's truly wonderful to live in a place like America!
This is a part of the float. Adam is in red and like last year these guys threw all their candy at the beginning of the parade - we were offered bark.
