The Browns descended upon Fort Worth at the end of February and I can’t believe I’m not reading about it in the Star Telegram. I mean, seriously… these people are awesome. Some of my favorites in the whole world.
This is our crew headed to the Fort Worth Federal Bureau of Engraving and Printing. (Which, by the way, was an awesome free tour.) Look how happy I am over there on the left. I love these people.
I’ve known Becca since I was 12? and living in Panama. Yes, the Canal/Panama. Long story. But she grew up there and I lived there from ages 11-15. Fast forward to college and she (and her husband) went to Notre Dame with my (now) husband. Did she introduce me to my husband, Matt, you ask? No, I met him at summer camp when I was 15. Anyway, I’ve known these people since I was a wee thing. It is a unique and special gift to have a couple that you and your spouse love so dearly. I think these two are crazy smart (He: MD, She: PH.D), crazy funny, and crazy genuine. I have shared many tears and laughter with this crew. I am so thankful for them. So grateful for friendships like this in my life.
Aside from knowing each other as teens, we also got married the same year, lived in Chicago together (roommates at times) and have had three children – each all around the same time. Getting together these days (being each, a family of five) proves to be a challenge. They live in the northeast, and we are now in the great state of Texas. It means the world to have them make a trip like this. We. had. such. a. great. time.
Ryan’s cousin’s art exhibit was showing here in Fort Worth.
All of the kids piling on Ryan on the museum lawn.
My first visit down to the Stockyards. It was actually pretty awesome, not as hokey as I thought it would be. I definitely recommend it.
I mean, check this out:
These are not actors. They are not tourists. They are real cowboys getting their boots polished.
It’s a great place to take pics, lots of great backdrops. But good luck finding kids as cute as these to take photos of. 😉
Kurt sacked out in the Stockyards. Doing his best not to look like a yankee.
Love you, Browns.
Y’all come right back, ya hear?
