Have a wonderful 4th of July from Architecture of a Mom!

Be safe with your fireworks, and remember most pets are not a fan of those loud noises...

Thank a soldier and say a prayer for those serving overseas and at home to keep us free and safe. If you don't know someone, pray for the families of this group of Air National Guardsmen who were killed and injured in a C-130 crash in South Dakota earlier this week.  This hits home for us, as one of the men who died is my friend's brother-in-law. He is a true American hero!  He left 4 small children and a loving wife behind, and they are in our prayers this Independence Day!

Happy Birthday America! God Bless the USA!
