I'm American! (sometimes Canadian, too??)

So having just celebrated the 4th of July, I was thinking of all the places that Robbie and I have been. Nothing really makes you appreciate home like being away from home. I'm really glad to live in the good ol' US of A, even though its not a perfect country; its ours. And even though we we were tempted to say we were Canadian a couple of times while we were abroad (but never actually did) we were still proud to be Americans, overall. (Like I said- we realized we are FAR from perfect.) 
The beautiful thing about America is our government system is set up to change and change again without civil unrest. So although we are nowhere close to perfect, we can work towards perfection in a peaceful way; having the right to express ourselves all the while on our pursuit to happiness. 
SO- God Bless America. Bless us to be wiser, more peaceful, and an America we can always be proud of. :)
