    Hi there,
    I know It's kind of early but I wanted to make sure I get to everyone on my friends list because this is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I am a proud American and the 4th of July is a day to remember all those who have fought and are still fighting for our freedom. While we Sleep They Wake, While We enjoy our bbq's and swim in the pool.. They're defending our borders and eating sand. I salute all the men and women who make it possible everyday for my children and I to live a free life and if you are one of them ~~ From the bottom of my heart I THANK YOU!!! So Please take a moment on the 4th and remember what it really stands for... That Red White and Blue is not just a piece of cloth.. It is a SYMBOL of our freedom and the men and women who fight for it.

    Happy Independence Day!!!!
    ~Kim

    I'm Proud To Be An American
    Written By Lee Greenwood



    If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
    And I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
    I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
    'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.


    I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
    And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
    And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, '
    Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.


    From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,
    Across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea.
    From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.
    , There's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say:


    I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
    And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
    And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, '
    Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.

    *cough* oh yea of course I've been practicing....I'm practically fluent now! Errr...i just get easily distracted ya know...so it might look like i've forgotten everything, but it's just because my mind is elsewhere, honest! *cough* lol. I still remember how to sign 'my name', that's a handy start lol, not sure about the rest. As for work Im still workin at the same ole, same ole, but im also making some extra money taking these surveys things online; you should give em a try; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is: www. blingforwork .com , shame I wouldn't have minded staying there till something more appropriate came along, but I don't have that option now heh.
