Happy 4th of July

Today’s 43 matches the theme of the day – star jumps to celebrate Independence Day!!!

This was a quick 43 but I was feeling it by the end.  For some reason, these jumps always get my heart rate sky high really quickly!!!

And, not because it is a holiday, but because I think I need it – today is a DAY OFF!!!

We love 4th of July!!!  I don’t know how fireworks are where you live, but here, you can buy and shoot off fireworks for the entire week leading up to the 4th.  And – we take advantage of the week!!!  Most evenings we are outside making fire on the driveway!!

I think that sometimes we take our freedom for granted but today is a good day to remember how fortunate we really are!

I’m thankful for all that happened so many years ago so that we could enjoy the freedoms that we have in our country today!!!

One final seen from earlier this week – plenty more will be fired off tonight – can’t wait!!
