***The Happiness of the Fourth***


The Fourth was full of happiness this year. Not only did my family have a fun-filled day together, but I was able to spend The Fourth with the Brazells for the first time, at the beach. This trip was extra special because we were able to see Dan for the first time since September '07! He was home on R&R - it was so great to see him with Erin and Baby Daniel. I'm so grateful for those who gave this country it's freedom and those who keep it free and safe.


This week was also the second week of a new Bible Study I've been doing..."Victoriously Frazzled Women". I have slowly learned how to relinquish control of my life and give it to my Savior. I have experienced the feeling of 'lingering' with God: being disinclined to leave His presence.


Justin and I have continued to enjoy our time as an engaged couple. Striving to please our Father by loving the way He loves: 1 Corinthians 13.


Overall it has been a fun and special week for all of us!
