I love the Fourth of July. I actually love it more all the time. Interestingly, having a child was the catalyst for looking at this holiday in a more positive light. I wrote all about this on BustedHalo last year; you can check it out here, if you’d like a little reading to go with your fireworks and parades and barbecues.
So Happy Birthday, America! It took me a while to realize this, but there really is nowhere else I’d rather be.
