Simply Cissna: Let Freedom Ring

Oh Independence Day, I love you so. I will be forever grateful for those who fight for our country to give us our freedoms. WE (all of us) are so blessed. Even if our country is often in turmoil, we have so much to be thankful for! I will never forget that.

Brandon and I had such a fun weekend! It is always great to get an extra day off work (even though I did go in for a half day). We went to the Real Salt Lake soccer game on the 4th and it was a blast! I am glad that I have a husband who shares a love of soccer with me. I am so happy we got to enjoy it together! We are even thinking about getting season tickets next year. That will be something fun we can look forward to doing together. We are slowly trying to incorporate some more 'together time' in our busy lives! We feel like school and work has been keeping us from having as much fun as we used to. But we are trying our best to not let that get in our way! So far, we have some fun things planned and I can't wait for some great adventures with the hubs. On Saturday we woke up really early to go to the Jensen family golf tournament. Brandon's family does this fun little golf tournament each year. They split the family into small teams and we golf 9 holes to find the winning team. I am NOT a good golfer. But I do go to have some fun! That's the great thing about this little tournament, it's mostly to have a good time and it isn't super competitive. I had a blast, even if I was the weak link on my team. I actually did better than I thought I would! Brandon was pretty proud of me for getting out there and trying. He said that we can go practice so I will be even better next time the tournament comes around. And maybe I will invest in some better golfing attire haha. Even though our team lost, we had a blast doing it! I sure do like to spend time with the Jensen's, they are all so kind and it's great to listen to Brandon reminisce with his cousins. Just a great group of people those Jensen's are. I am glad that I married into such an awesome family. And I am glad that Brandon and I got to have such a fun weekend together!
