Independence Day 2007

The girls wanted to go to downtown Nashville again for Independence Day. Some of the people on the program for the concert were Taylor Swift, who is one of the girls' new favorite singers, and Rodney Adkins, who the girls have liked for a little while now. Rodney Adkins has a song called "If You're Goin' Through Hell", and the kids thought that the words were particularly appropriate to us living in Luxembourg: "If you're goin' through Hell, keep on goin', don't slow down, if you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there."

We got there early this year, and some of us went to the Charlie Daniels museum, and some of us went on the free bungy jumping ride.

The show started with the color guard and National Anthem. I still can't sing the "Star-Spangled Banner" without crying. I was crying through the fireworks, too. Even "Stars and Stripes Forever" makes me cry. I'm so happy to be back in the United States of America.



God bless the U.S.A.!
