I found out last February that Carrie Underwood would be headlining the Stadium of Fire this year. Since we'd be in UT and I know how much my sweetie LOVES her, I just had to get us there. So I bought tickets for Tyler and kept them a secret for 4 months. He was super excited to see one of his favorite singers in person.
And she was worth every penny. She was absolutely fabulous in person. Not to mention the Stadium of Fire in general was awesome. From the jet flyover to the fireworks I don't think there is a more patriotic celebration. If you've never been it's worth spending the 4th in Provo for one year to see the Stadium of Fire.
I thought I was really patriotic, but I learned I'm in the minor leagues compared to Tyler. We are so grateful for the dedication and service of our troops. It has really been hitting home as I get to work with veterans everyday and hear their war stories. Our thoughts and prayers are always with those who have sacrificed so much so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have today.
