Memories

Since the last blog we have been camping, had a Memorial Day Party, and dropped the kids off at Bobby's mom's. It has been so much fun making memories in Tulsa. I will be sharing some of the highlights from our memories.

Our camping trip was hilarious! I made reservations at a camp ground about an hour away from our home. What I didn't realize is it was for RVs. We pulled up to the check in center and the man (Mr. Lewis) would look at Bobby and then back at the rear of the "man" van. I guess he was looking for our rv. He had a smirk on his face as he wished us luck and we drove off. We found our site and there was nothing but a concrete slab (where our rv would go), a small patch of grass, and a small fire pit. Bobby just started laughing and said "well no wonder Mr. Lewis had a smirk...he was wondering how we would put a tent on the site." We did it! Captian Wilderness, also known as Bobby, set our tent up nad secured it. That night the wind blew and it rained so hard I thought we would have our own version of the tornado sence in Wizard of Oz. The next morning our camping neighbors were surprised to see we were ok and our tent still standing. Bobby did a great job! The kids enjoyed chopping firewood, making smores, cooking biscuits over the fire, swimming in the lake and telling ghost stories. It was a camping trip we will never forget! Ah! The memories! If you don't get this I guess you had to be there.

Bobby and I have also realized the importance of friends since moving to Tulsa. Our families are 9 hours (Bobby's parents) and 21 hours (my parents) away. We had a Memorial Day party with the Burson family and other friends. It was so much fun! We had great food, swimming in our "redneck" pool, a slippin' slide and lots of laughs. I wish all of you could have been there. Check out our face book page to see al the pictures.

I dropped the kids off at Bobby's mom and dad's house for 10 days. Bobby and I have had such a great time reconnecting. Ok. City was our first stop. We went to see Tim McGraw in concert and it was great...not even close to the Bon Jovi concert. Oh I do have to mention we made reservations (that were quickly changed) at an Ecno Lodge. For the girls reading this, that went to the Beth Moore Conference 2 years ago in Ok City, it was the same hotel. So you know how bad it was. Anyway, we found a new hotel. We are now in Springfield Mo. Bobby will be working but we will have some down time. We hope to be able to hike and some other fun stuff.

Make the memories that last a lifetime!
