I miss home made meals. I miss my dad buying treats for you (it is part of the way he shows love). Having my little brother fall asleep on my bed and having to tell him to go to his own bed. Funny family conversation. That feeling that you know you aren't getting judged because your family knows everything about you. Listening to church music Sunday morning before church. Tackling and tickling my little brothers. Swimming. Sun. Those long summer days where you literally live in your swimsuit all day. BBQs. When you roll down the window when getting in your car to let cool air in, only to find out the air outside the car is actually hotter than the air inside. Searching a parking lot to try and park next to a tiny tree so your car can be in as much shade as possible. Police, not just there to give out tickets but doing something exciting such as protecting you. The moment when you drive into the Vegas Valley at approximately mile marker 60 and you see the valley and your breath is literally taken away (still, after living in Vegas all my life, I still am awestruck at the beauty of Las Vegas at night). Having my parents to say, hug and kiss goodnight to every night. A family to go to church with. There are so many little things in life that we take for granted and these are just a few of them. I am so thankful for this country and those that died to protect it. Let us not take our great freedoms for granted. Remember the little (and big) things in life. We are so blessed and may we continue to be. God Bless America!

Sooo true. I miss all the crazy stuff we did on the 4th... which is really crazy because we did everything. I swear... we were up all day the 4th of july. You never fully appreciate what you have til it is gone!
