Fireworks on the 4th of July!

Many people have asked me why I put watching fireworks on my list. Somehow last summer I went the whole summer without watching fireworks at all....shocking right? I LOVE FIREWORKS!!! Summer isn't summer without watching fireworks. I was so sad at the end of last summer so I wanted to make sure that I watched fireworks this summer. I got to see some amazing fireworks this year. I went to the Stadium of Fire on the 4th of July. Carrie and Vicki had two extra tickets from their work so I invited my friend Mark. It was such a perfect night....great weather, fun people, patriotic music, the Jonas Brothers...well, I didn't care much for the Jonas Brothers actually but it was fun to watch and listen to all the young girls freak out. There is something so magical about fireworks and a warm summer night. I left feeling so grateful to live in this wonderful country. I'm hoping to see fireworks one more time before the summer ends....fingers crossed!

Here's What Else I've Been Doing...

June Book Club!

My first book for this year was The Alchemist. The Alchemist is a story about a shepherd who sells his sheep to go in search of his personal legend. This is a story that will motivate you to be better and try harder to accomplish your goals.

Quotes I Loved:

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."

"When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision."

"People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want. We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand."

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." "...when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too."

"No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it."
