At the end of May, Ben and I went to the Pinkston Family Reunion just outside of Abilene. He had the opportunity to meet the extended family that couldn't make it to the wedding. It was so good to see everyone.. it had been years since I had made it to a reunion.
A few short weeks later, we spent Father's day with Ben's family. After church we drove to Waco met up with the family, went shopping, and ate some amazing Mexican food for lunch! All in celebration of Father's day :)
The next weekend we had some very dear friends come all the way from Mississippi! We had the pleasure of meeting this couple on our honeymoon. They were the ones we were randomly paired up with at dinner on our cruise. How lucky we were to have met them...The Barkers have been an amazing blessing to our lives!
They drove in with their two precious little boys (Will and Ethan) and we had a packed weekend of swimming, bowling, Six Flags, and a Texas Rangers game. This was Will and Ethan's first trip to Texas and they were soooooo cute saying "they do speak our language in Texas." It was a great weekend catching up with Tim and Cherrie!
The following month, Ben and I had a short weekend vacation in South Texas to go see some more friends. :) Lacy had a place in South Padre for the entire month of July and invited us out to enjoy the island life for a bit. We had a wonderful relaxing weekend! We all hung out on the beach, played washers, walked around the island, and most importantly enjoyed the time we had to spend with our friends in Paradise!
The very last weekend in July we were back out in west Texas celebrating my Grandfather's 90th birthday!! We had the chance to spend some time with my family.. and Pop gave Ben a lesson or two on dominoes! (My grandpa is quite the pro!)
It was so much fun hanging out with my parents, my sister and bro-in law and our nephews Patrick and James. :)
This summer has flown by...
