Can I just say that Independence Day is my most favorite holiday. I know most people love Christmas and all, but I can't stand the cold and their is so much hype months before Christmas that it starts to get on my nerves and in a sense ruins the whole meaning of it. Anyway the reason I love the 4th of July is because we get to celebrate our freedom and the wonderful things that our country stands for. I get all choked up when I think about all the Americans, our founding fathers and the soldiers that sacrificed their lives so that we could live in this great nation. Not only is the holiday celebrated in the summer with great bbq food and lots of fun outdoor activities, but it just so happens to be close to my birthday. Come on who doesn't love to gawk at all the awesome firework shows at the end of the night. Anyway, this year I lucked out and bought cheap tickets on craigslist to the stadium of fire show down in Provo. Just in case you are wondering; Rich and I are not Hannah Montana fans. I do think she has some great songs and I do admire her accomplishments for being so talented at such a young age. Anyway the main reason we went was to hear Glen Beck who was freakin awesome and inspiring by the way. I also, was interested in checking out the blue man group from Vegas. Considering this was our first time going to Stadium of Fire, we hired a cute girl from our ward to watch Robbie because we didn't know what to expect and we didn't think he would be able to stay up that late. It was a good thing we did because I don't think he would of liked all the noise. Overall the show was very exciting and they had a lot of great performers.
