The Best and Worse of the Last Two weeks of my life....


So here it goes. On Saturday the 12 Eko and I went to the pool for about an hour and got a tan in that short amount of time. which was perfect since we had my Birthday party the next day.



















On sunday we went to church and since we all looked so nice and even match we decided to take a picture in front of these trees which are in front of church.















This is charlee and I during my party. I need to get the rest of the pictures from shalom. There was so many people in our apartment. The inside and outside was full. "I love it." i think this is the biggest party i have ever had. "Thanks guys."















The Party was amazing but at night i got a call from back home. Informing me that my best friend who i grow up with and considered my brother had been killed at war. He was more than my friend, he was my first boyfriend, my first love, my best friend and my brothet. He got killed Less than a week before he was to come home to get married to the woman he loved and who carried his baby girl inside. Now there would be no wedding but a memorial instead and a wife and child left husband less and father less. I can't even imagine my life without mark. 



















so like any family would, eko and I got on the next flight back to Miami to help with the preparations for the memorial. 



















This is eko and his cousin julian both hugging and playing with a picture of their uncle Sergio who they would never see again in this world. 















while we were there eko and I went to go visit my family. This is Eko and one of his grandmas















And this is eko with his grandpa. This is my uncle, the man who raised me and who made me the person I am. He rocks my socks!!! And Eko loves him. 



















This is my baby niece, her name is emily. Last time i saw her she was still bold so i was happy to see some hair on her head. She is only 4 months older than eko.



















Eko and his cousin emy,  If you notice. Eko and Emy are the same size even tho she is older. They both have big heads.















Eko eating a hamburger patty but no bread. He loved it. "Men and Meat."



















Our last night in miami. I was trying to get eko tired so we let him and his cousin go for a swim at midnight. Within an hour all the adults had gone in too. It was awesome to see all my family and friends. I just hate the reason of our trip. 



















Eko learning how to swim. He did so good!!! 



















When we got back, Eko was SOOOOO excited to see his daddy, they stayed till midnight playing. This is Eko playing rock band with daddy. Eko got daddy sick on the trip and he was so sad and would cry asking for daddy so ever since we got back they have not stopped playing.















Okay so after a week of crying. mark decided it was enough so he took me to six flags to celebrate my birthday. I loved it!! This is us after we got done with all the water rides. 




















Mark kept messing around in all the pictures.



















Mark was so excited to see scooby that he ran in front of all the little kids to take a picture. but don't tell him i told you guys. 




















And in the middle of our adventures, WE BECAME SUPER HEROUS!!! 
This is mark changing in the telephone booth, just like superman. 




















And every superman needs his superwoman so i had to make a sacrifice and became SUPERLEO. Powers: Super strengh and can be in many places at once, Wicknesses: Cholocate




















Mark hanging with superman.



















Superman got nothing on us!



















In front of the roller coaster while waitting for our food.



















Can you tell its the end of the day. We look so tired. 



















We are so tired we are smiling by force. We had nothing else to do while we waited for our turn to get in the ride. 



















By the end of the day, I was darker than mark." now thats something keeping in mind mark is the dark one in our family."















Can you tell I am tired, burned, hungry, dirty, and being forced to ride the superman ride "Once more" But over all, it was an amazing day. The best i have had in a while. 















Besides that, we have not really done anything new. So hope you enjoyed it. Oh here is a cute video of eko and his cousin. These two had way too much fun.
