Happy Memorial Day!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day! Growing up Memorial day was just another day off school, until I was married and went to the cemetery with Jordan's family to see family members and it was then that I realized what the holiday was all about. My family didn't have anyone to visit growing up so we really didn't have any special traditions. Now, Memorial Day means something a little bit different. We honor those that have fought for us and our country and, a little bit more personally, those loved ones that have past away. And for us that is Maddie. So now we always make a special trip to the cemetery and this year we took our friends, the Gardner's, with us to visit Maddie. It was so enjoyable taking friends and having someone else there than just the 3 of us. We actually went on Sunday because on Monday we had a lot of fun swimming, BBQing, playing water balloon games all with a bunch of our friends which was a blast. It was a beautiful day and we had such a great time. Sorry no pictures, forgot the camera! But I am grateful for a day to remember those that have passed before us.
