Armed Forces Day.' I know I'll look at it differently for the rest of my life thanks to today. Torrance hosts the largest Armed Forces Day parade in the United States. People filled both sides of Torrance Blvd. in anticipation for the bands, soldiers, tanks, and fly-bys. It was awesome. Helicopters flew at tree top level over the 
parade goers. We just about peed our pants. Then a huge jet (passenger airplane size) did the same thing. Low to the ground. It felt like we were under attack. We even watched about 50 new soldiers take the oath right in front of us. Such courage! What a blessing to sit with the Luhmann clan. A family who celebrates this day each year. Shouts of "Thank you!" to the soldiers, lots of clapping, waving, and standing for each and every American flag that passed. God blessed us all with a beautifully sunny day, and a curb full of family and friends to celebrate with!Following the parade, we were invited to go up to Chet & Theresa's 
house for a BBQ, and for swimming. Kelly, Amy, and I practiced our synchronized dives, jumps, and cheerleader moves off the board and side of the pool. We're really good. Olympic trials are coming up. Everyone got in the water at some point. Even Paul joined in the fun of the diving board competition. Tough judges in the jacuzzi, but quality moves for sure!

Bob, Pam, and Bobby joined us later for hot dogs, burgers, and 
treats. We ended the night with some player piano fun, line dancing, singing, and concluded the trip with my mom's favorite part: a chance to drive Chet's black Lexus. It's a sweet ride. She was thrilled to take it for a spin, and acted like a giggly little kid behind the wheel! We're ready for bed. Church in the morning, then back to the airport. Man, this trip has flown!

Man, this trip has flown!As nice as it is to have family here right now, it's a little sad to not have Kevin here for such a special day in our relationship. Today 
we celebrate two years of dating bliss. To think it all started back in the spring of 2007, with a "date" (in his mind) to go see Martin Sexton. Here's a picture of us from our first night out, and a chance to meet Martin himself. Kevin has gone from the good looking hyper kid (who bugged me a little) to the love of my life. I'm certainly ready to celebrate with Kev next week in Seattle. I can't wait. Love love love!
