proud to be an american

A friend of ours just became an official U.S. citizen. How cool is that?! We got to be there at a surprise party for him. He walked through the door in his US Flag shorts suit and that just set the tone for a pretty sweet night. 

Celebrating his citizenship was a good reminder to stop and appreciate something that I take for granted so often--what a privilege and beautiful responsibility to be a citizen of the united states of america and to enjoy so many great freedoms and opportunities here. 

God bless america.
