July 4, 2000.
Our 1st 4th of July together (above).
All-American, New York style.

Twin Towers dominated our skyline.
Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra blazed a free concert, Liberty Park.
And fireworks lit up the Statue of Liberty.
It was a fabulous date-day to remember two months before Kevin proposed.

It never occurred to us…
… that we’d categorize photos Pre-9/11 and Post-9/11, but that’s a reality for most of us who lived in or near The City when those Towers came tumbling down. Terrorism hit home, and it changed us. It changed America.

Thank You
Thanks a million to all our service men and women who have fought to keep our country’s independence for centuries. We are grateful to all our soldiers on the front-lines.

July 4, Today.
Let’s celebrate our freedom, Fam.
We’ve moved from Big Apple skylines to palm trees and a breeze, but we’re still all-American, just LaLa style. :=) And you are all-American, _______ style. And for all of us, let’s take a minute and thank God.

Let’s Remember!

Before becoming president, John Adams, wrote about the creation of the Declaration of Independence, that the day “will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Let’s remember, Fam! And in the midst of our pomp and parades, fireworks, bonfires and barbecues, let’s remember this as a day of deliverance, and say thank you to God Almighty!

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe…” Psalm 107:1-2

Happy 4th of July, Fam!
How will you celebrate?
Hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with love, food and fun.

Lots of love from the LaLa,
Naima
