Home sweet home for the 4th of July!



I got everyone out of bed to watch the balloon launch, we were at a distance and it was still breathtaking!







Living outside the United States for a few years has opened my eyes to just how great of a nation this is! Traveling around the world has made me realize that we are a truly blessed people, and hands down Provo puts on the best 4th of July! Moving BACK to Utah has been a bit of a culture shock, this 4th of July I was once again surprised at how the people here honor this great country. I am grateful to be an American!

Looks like you are having a really great time living in Utah. I am so happy for you guys. We may be making a trip up there in August. If we do, we'd love to get together with you and Jayson!

Hey Amanda... yeah I think you guys are pretty close to us. I knew you were living with Pam... where did you move to? we should get together sometime and do something fun (and kid friendly) tell Jayson that Kevin S. lives in Santaquin... it would be fun to see you guys and get to know your kids... it seems like forever since I have seen people from the Colonies!!
