Forth of July

I can honestly say that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday! I just love it! It's an all day event that is full of fun from sun up to sun down. You wake up, hit as many parades as you can, hang out at the parks that are full of entertaining things to do no matter how old you are, then you can take a nap or have a BBQ until it's time to head back for fireworks. Not to mention it's FREE!! This year I walked in the door from the park and the phone rang. To my surprise, it was a lady in Hooper who told me she and her sister had just days before returned from Africa. She had met my sweet missionary Elder Musgrave, who had sent her home with a surprise for me! :) I jumped in my car and drove to her house as fast as I could. He had sent me this soccer jersey out of the "Blue" (get it, the jersey is blue) for a 4th of July surprise. He is so cute! It was so fun to listen to these ladies talk about Carter and how wonderful he is. He never ceases to amaze me! It ended up being the cherry on top of my favorite day of the year! I can't wait till the next forth of July!!
