kacey, em and i just got back from a whirlwind road trip. friday we went to dallas and joined friends for a pool party. then, we headed to tulsa to meet up with my cousins-in-law. next, we headed to midwest city to visit kacey’s grandmother. em also met other family members there for the first time as we gathered for a nice family dinner. lastly, we drove to oklahoma city to meet up with a friend, and then we headed back home.

kacey grew up in tulsa. i had never been, so he showed me around. we went to the center of the universe -

it’s a spot downtown where you stand in the center of a circle on the ground to hear your voice echo. it’s pretty cool -

chandler park,

turkey mountain,

drove down riverside and passed by his childhood home. the top window is where his bedroom was. and those trees? he use to spend his afternoons climbing them.

his street was a dead end. they use to throw block parties here and light fireworks for the fourth of july.

all these memories got us talking about our little em. what will her memories be? what will she look back on and smile about?
