It's been a great summer!
The first of June we went to Destin, Florida with a bunch of friends. Rented a house and pontoon boat with double slides. Had a jolly good time.
July sent us to Cleveland, Ohio where my husband's family lives. His mom is in the end stages of glioblastoma, so we're heartbroken at what we're facing, but so glad we got to see her. I got to enjoy the fireworks for 4th of July while there.
August had a trip to New Orleans with friends and lots of yummy dinners out.
My baby girl also finally came home from college for two weeks. She'll be a junior at Auburn this year, and I had to say goodbye to her last night for her to head back up to school. I miss my baby so much!
Oh, I also bought a jetski a few weeks ago and a Yukon two days ago :)
Tomorrow, August 19 is my sweet Brooke's birthday. She would have been 25. The 20th is my grandson Maddox's 4th birthday. Heartbreakingly, neither are here to celebrate with us. I don't think I ever talked about it here, but Maddox was born way too early August 20, 2015 at 22 weeks. We had him for 28 beautiful days. My precious Brooke never recovered from the loss of Maddox, and we lost her too on Christmas night of 2015. Meg got catastrophically ill in the weeks following, and I was consumed with trying to get her life saved, so that probably saved my life from the despair over Brooke and Maddox. I miss them so terribly much, and August has been a horrible month for me the last 3 years with their birthdays being back to back.
Happy birthday , my loves!
