It worked out really well as Justin and I were able to close on the new house on that Friday. We are not going to be able to get into the house for another week or two, but we are excited to almost be into the new house. We also scheduled a vacation for just the two of us to Seattle & Vancouver in July after we closed on the house. Check. Check.
Since we still had another week of school and I had a lot to prepare for, I ended up taking Nora to school with me on Memorial Day morning. She played while I worked and set up for kindergarten graduation. Afterwards, we went to Chick-Fil-A For a special mommy-daughter lunch.
And then we spent the afternoon after "nap" time in the backyard, of course! We wore patriotic colors and enjoyed the freedom that we have been blessed with.
I think it is really important to remember, every day but especially on days like this, that we have been allowed the freedoms that we have today because of the thousands of men and women who have put their lives at risk for the sake of our country. And because of this, I choose to not worry about all the small things that someone has deemed important to worry about, but just to be thankful that we have the privilege to choose how we want to live, to dress, to play and that we have freedom to raise our families in a country where there is choice and opportunity. Let us not forget that. Let us not forget the sacrifices that many have made to make it that way for the rest of us.
God bless America!
