Happy 4th!...and some "Did You Know's?"

So thankful for that flag that flies, representing the freedom we are blessed with here.
Happy 4th of July folks...can't wait to hear what everyone is doing to celebrate!
(and ALSO..Happy 6 months to my sweet B!!)

I am linking up today (the 4th) with a ton of bloggers for the
"Red White and YOU" blog hop!
I'd been wanting to do another one of these posts lately anyways, so I thought today would be perfect to share some random "did you know's?" about myself...
