25 Years!

Last weekend we celebrated marriage! First, we attended Tim and Lizzie's wedding on Saturday! We had a lot of fun and everything was wonderful! Then on Sunday we celebrated my parents 25th wedding anniversary with family and friends. This was several weeks in the making and we pulled it off! First of all, trying to get everyone in town on the same weekend and finding a time that worked with everyone was challenging! Oh, and keeping it a secret! Adam told our parents that we would like to take them to dinner for their anniversary, but they thought it was just going to be the 6 of us! We planned a dinner at the Skirvin hotel in downtown OKC. We asked everyone to be there about 5:30 and Adam would arrive with our parents about 5:45. My parents saw Brian and I sitting at the table and just as soon as they got closer, they saw everyone else who had been hiding behind a pillar! We a wonderful dinner and celebration toasts! Congratulations Mom and Dad on 25 years!

Its SUMMER! School is officially out for summer!!

Our Weekend!

We had a great weekend with my family! We celebrated graduation, birthday, and Mother's Day. My mom graduated this past weekend from Seminary from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. My parents were able to spend the whole week in Washington, D.C. with my grandma and Rita. Brian and I left Thursday evening and flew to D.C. We did a whirl wind tour of D.C. in one day! Unfortunately it rained most of the day Friday, but we still got to see a lot of great things. To name a few....we toured the White House (one of my dreams), the National Archives building(holds the Constitution, Declartation of Independance, and Bill of Rights), saw Ford's Theatre but couldn't go in b/c they were remodeling part of the building, U.S. Capitol, Senate Building, Union Station, Lincoln Memorial, Washgington Monument, and WWII Memorial. Ok, I named them all! We were exhausted by the end of the day! We walked a ton, but caught on pretty fast how to get around on the Metro (subway). Friday evening we drove to Lynchburg, to meet up with the rest of the family. This was actually my second visit to Virginia! :)
Saturday morning we went to part 1 of my mom's graduation. It was outside on the football field. The graduation speaker was Chuck Norris. Thats right, Walker Texas Ranger. Did you know he is from Oklahoma? I didn't! He spoke about his testimony. The guys loved getting to see him. Evidently, he stayed at our hotel too, but never saw him. We just saw the police escort waiting outside Saturday morning.
I can't forget to add that Saturday was also Brian's birthday. So, he got to see one of his favorite tv actors for his birthday!
Saturday night we went to a wonderful steak house to celebrate Brian's birthday, graduation, and Mother's Day. It was a great time to get the whole family together! It was definately a very busy weekend, but we really had a great time! That part of the country is just beautiful! Look for pictures later today!
