Its been a great forth of July celebration thus far! Last night we went over to our friend's house for a little pre forth of july celebration and it was awesome. We watched an awesome firework show, ate some good snacks, and talked with lots of awesome friends. I had class in Salt Lake in the evening so I met up with Taylor and the rest of the party after class around 8 pm.
My favorite part of the party was the firework show. It was AWESOME!!! I got so excited during the fireworks and so over come with emotion that I literally started crying haha! I just couldn't stop thinking about how awesome our lives are and how many amazing blessings Heavenly Father has bestowed upon us. Last forth of July, I was in Europe, Italy to be exact. My parents and older sister came to Portugal to pick me up from my mission! We had traveled to Italy together once we left Portugal and it was awesome, too. The year before that, I was in portugal and I can vividly remember walking down a little road on the island of madeira, thinking about my family and what they were doing for that forth of July and now, two years later, Im back in the states, been home for a year, and married for two months.
I guess I just want to take a moment and express how grateful I am for life!!! For my amazing family and our friends and for all of the happiness they bring into my life! I am so grateful for taylor!! I love him and I am so thankful that we are together and married for time and all eternity. I am so beyond grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. It means EVERYTHING to me, Every bit of happiness I feel and all of the hope inside of my heart stems from my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the lives we are blessed to live and I am so happy to be alive!!!!!
