Happy Fourth of July one and all!
Can you image a group of guys getting together 236 years ago and signing the piece of parchment that would shape our country into what it is today?
Yeah, me either. And they all wore powdered wigs, which is uber weird. I wonder if they were all secretly bald.
Anyway, do you ever wonder what our world would be like today if something had gone wrong that day in 1776? Would I be British? Because that would be pretty sweet.
I love this holiday. I love the way people gather together to celebrate our freedom, honor those who help defend it. My favorite part is the fireworks.
When I was little, I was absolutely terrified of them. And yet my parents took me to them every single year and I would cower on my blanket and cry when the big ones went boom.
As I've grown older, I learned to love them. Now my favorite ones are the big ones that go boom.
I'm the type of person who gets very emotional. Whenever towns have fireworks on the Fourth of July, they play "I'm Proud to be an American," I freaking tear up. I know, talk about corny and sad but it's true. I just think about all the American pride that happens on that day, everyone together to celebrate our Independence. It's amazing.
If only it weren't so frreaking hot! It was 100 degrees today. That's crazy, insane even. And I had to cover a local celebration for my job and I think I sweated buckets and buckets. It was gross.
That was all that was really on my mind today.
God Bless America :)
