I am thankful for...

Our Veterans and Service men and women!

I felt so lame when I went to bed yesterday and realized that I posted I was thankful for my house, when I should have shown gratitude for the Veterans on Veterans Day.  It's okay though, because it was today that we celebrated Veterans Day by going to hear Ander's school program. It was really great. I always get a bit teared up at events like this. I love America! 


Sorry for the lame picture. Forgot my camera. Ander is in the white blur in the middle. Sigh.
One of my favorite songs was one that mentioned all the states in the U.S. So many of the states I have called home at times in my life. Wisconsin, Utah, Idaho, Indiana, and now Virginia. At the end of the program, the Principle had the Veterans and current service men and women in the audience stand. I was surprised at how many there were. I am so grateful for their sacrifices. I am also grateful for the school program that helped me to remember to be grateful :)
