Visitors!

We have been enjoying a short string of visitors these last couple weeks! It's really sweet of family to drive all the way here to say hello. :)

David and Briana stopped in for an afternoon on their way home from Texas. The boys were glad to stretch out I think. We grilled brats and hotdogs for a late lunch, and then went and took a short tour of town and the Army base. We enjoyed catching up with them, the family, and hearing the news from up in MN.

Then this last weekend my Mom, Erin, Emma, and Brielle came for a while. They stayed in a nearby hotel from Thursday to Monday. It ended up being a VERY hot weekend. Hottest it had been since I was here even... We made the best of it though, even went exploring in the mountains in 104 degree heat. We all got some nice sunburn lines from our tank tops. I enjoyed going over to the hotel and using the pool with the girls- since my outdoor one has yet to open. John and I took the fam to church on Sunday, and we all went out to eat at a cute mexican place afterwards.
The ladies had planned on leaving Monday afternoon, however, due to some very severe weather and thunderstorms developing they opted to stay one more night, in our apartment! Thank goodness they stayed though, that horrible Moore tornado would have been right on their route home!!!
They got up early Tuesday to head home, but ended up staying an extra hour, because of another thunderstorm. Haha. We had a nice time.

In a couple more weeks I will have a couple of my girlfriends from MN roadtrip down to visit as well! I do feel quite loved and thought about.

John is still hard at work. Though I feel terrible that he has to be out in the hot hot sun while its getting so warm. This week will be Mid-80s. :/

Thats it for now!

Life As Usual

So I started my job at Chick-Fil-A! So far it's been going very well, though I can't even believe how busy that place can be during lunch hours. I've learned how to make their sweet tea and lemonade, bag and deliver orders, and take orders on the drive through. So much still to learn, but I like to think I'm catching on quickly. For being a 'fast food' place, the restaurant is very clean, and the service is quick and professional. I think I'm going to enjoy it. :)

The weather has been consistently getting warmer. This week will be in the 80's! I keep thinking it would be so nice to go out and swim in the pool (which is still not open), and then I dip my toes in the water, and I'm reminded that it's not heated. Brr!

John worked a little side job this last Saturday, so after church on Sunday he decided he wanted to go spend some of his extra earnings. We found him a really nice Oakley polo shirt for this summer. Looks really nice on him. Of course, this is me, and I think most everything looks pretty nice on him.

Life goes on in Oklahoma, normal life- just a different place. I love it. :)
