Well this weekend sure has been a hectic one. We've been all over the NC and SC coast! Stopping at beaches at Oak Island, North Myrtle, Southport and Wilmington. It has truly been a fun adventure with the family and some nice time by the sea and sand. However, the most important thing is probably our independence today. We've been listening to wonderful American classics all day and it is so wonderful to me to realize that I really do have two countries to be proud of. I can shake that pelvis with nothing but a hound dog and get goosebumps with Guadalajara. Evidently I also get a tear or two in my eye as both the US and Mexico national teams begin a World Cup match.
It's funny to try to describe what being patriotic feels like. There really aren't any words and I just think that the overwhelming feeling of something that you are a part of that is bigger than you is what makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. E PLURIBUS UNUM. Just as Obama said in his last address. I think if I ever were to get a tattoo it'd be that phrase. I hate being political sometimes (basically because I am a bit undecided as to what party I support most now) but my family has always been a huge fans of Reagan and Kennedy so I will leave tonight with this, because I think it is a nice quote for today which is also very fitting to what I believe everyday.
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
