Fountains

There was a theme at westgate when we were there the other night. FUN. I noticed the fountain was choreographed to the music that was playing on the out door speakers at the center of this shopping/restaurant area. Bon novi, I believe was playing when we arrived. How do they do that? Who is the smart person in charge of syncing the fountains to the music? That is so rad. While we are here enjoying water that dances, there are men and women fighting for me.
There are the men and women despite of falling over and over again to train to be the heroes they are, that have the courage to do all that hard work to protect us. And there husbands and wives are just as heroic for supporting their spouse and sacrificing their time with us to protect our promised land.
I'll admit that my tears at sea world are not only cause shamu is awesome. It is when they recognize the men and womenof past and present that have served our country or have been an alli. Same at the ball games. The national anthem means something completely different to me since 9/11. I had the honor to sing it the day after that tragedy at our high school when they decided to do a memorial assembly. Ever since then I have appreciated much more what it is to be american.
I am blessed to has been born here. I get to have my nails done, blog from any location using my awesome phone or iPod. I get to craft and sew tip my hearts content. I gather my family prayer each day. I go to church just down the street. I have Walmart that is walking distance ( that I especially love). My husband has a job to go to everyday just so that I may enjoy a night out with my ladies and see the fountains that dance to music.
Sorry that was a wide spread tangent but it was just something that made me grateful.
