New territory here – our baby church plant officially has a youth group now and my oldest is considered a high schooler in it this summer. Wow and wow. 137/365 Tweet
We took the boys to an Oklahoma City RedHawks game tonight. True, it was no Cardinals game, but it was still baseball. They lasted through the middle of the 7th inning and particularly enjoyed their new hats and yelling, “GO REDHAWKS” at the top of their lungs every time a batter took a swing. Didn’t [...]
It’s been…*cough*…a while since Chloe and I did our last 5K together and we sort of had to start over on the Couch-to-5K training. In truth, we’re only up to week 7 on the app and this race is tomorrow, but this race is also an untimed one and really more for fun than anything, [...]
These are some of my first feeble attempts at not using the auto function on my Nikon. Be gentle with me. I’m still learning. I tried. I actually have no idea what these things are, but there’s a whole line of them on the sidewalk here. Cigarettes that tell a story. The exact moment in [...]
Another “not taken on this day” confession. For some reason I didn’t take any photos of our time at the Spring Bling, but I’m hoping to snag a few that others took and post them as soon as I can. As it is, this is one of my first attempts at taking pictures on manual [...]

In my desperate attempt to figure out something to do for Teacher Appreciation Week on Monday for our North Campus teachers, I suddenly remembered that I'd been meaning to check out The Sweetery Eatery which is all of a mile from my house. It's a pretty new local establishment and I'm happy they are close [...]
I was a freshman at Oklahoma State University before I realized that the official state fair of Oklahoma wasn't really in Tulsa, but was, in fact, in Oklahoma City. My confusion should be understandable. There is a fair every fall in Tulsa called the Tulsa State Fair. I had no idea there was ANOTHER [...]
Shame on me for writing nothing before now. I’ve had time… just maybe not the energy required to think. We’ve been in my parent’s town since last Monday while Craig has been out of town. He gets back here on Thursday and we will leave Friday morning to make our two day trip back to [...]
