Traveling Duo

This summer is flying by and I just wish time would stand still long enough for me to breathe!!  We've traveled to Texas by ourselves and then to Ohio with my sister, Katie.  Texas was amazing.  We've never had to opportunity it get out there, and I made that happen this year.  We LOVED Texas!  We LOVED visiting with Brian and Lori.  We were able to hang out, relax, and enjoy life!  We even went to the Natural Science Museum of Houston.  So much fun!  Saw thousands of butterflies and the evolution of life exhibit.  Simply amazing and so much fun.  Mack loved it all too!  We saw Brandon's two Aunts that live in Texas, we did a Balloon Send Off to celebrate Father's Day and what an amazing father Brandon was.  Here's some pictures :)

Then, five days later, we headed off to Ohio for 8 days.  This time we drove.  Boy was this a learning experience! The ride home went much smoother!  haha.  Mackenzie loved meeting everyone and hanging out with good friends while we were there.  Nicole and Bill were so gracious to let us all stay at their house.  We had such a blast!  While in Ohio, we had a Memorial cookout for Brandon.  I know he was there and I'm sure he loved it.  He was such an amazing person and everyone loved him.    He taught me so much in life and although I never had the opportunity to thank him for it, I know he sees me now.  And I think he's proud of me.  Cleveland was a great time, but it was also difficult.  It's where we started.  It was our beginning.  Who would have thought that by hanging out in Pun's basement or at the bowling alley, that our love would have grown as much as it did.  I was blessed to have had 11 years with my very best friend and soulmate.  Thank you for teaching me so much about the important things in life babe!!  Back on to Ohio, we saw sooo many people!  There never is enough time when we come up there...even 8 days!!  But those who wanted to see us and spend time with us did.  And we loved every minute!  Here's some pics so you can see the fun we had!  

Over all, we had an AMAZING June! I loved traveling with my little Mack and I realize how quickly life goes by as I watch her grow up.  I wish Brandon was here to take part in all these fun times.  It truly hurts, but I know he's watching.  Sitting on a cloud and laughing at me as I make so many mistakes and then rise above.  I know he's proud of me and I know he still watches over us.  Until next time friends!  (That will be Mack's first birthday!  AHHHHH!!)
