Happy 4th!

We hope you had a happy 4th of July! We are so privileged to live in a free country. We are so thankful for the men and women who have fought and continue to fight and die for our freedoms! Some of the men and women, including Mike's brother, Mark, who have given their lives more recently for our freedom have been remembered in a book entitled Faces of Freedom by Rebecca Pepin. ALL proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Fisher House and Wounded Warrior Project. We are thankful for this remembrance and honor for our soldiers.

Our 4th consisted of doing a little around the house while Mike prepared ribs and got them on the grill early. We enjoyed dinner with our friends, Codey and Laura, and filled ourselves to the top (with ribs, corn, pasta salad, cole slaw, gilled onions, and potato wedges)! And then ate homemade ice cream to fill in any extra spaces! After dinner, we met more friends, Joe and Abby, in Raleigh to watch fireworks. What a fun evening. And all possible because of our freedoms.
