Visit to Lubbock, Texas

I just got my computer working this past weekend, so I am catching you all up. Over Memorial Day weekend I went and visited Nick in Lubbock. Nick is living there because he is doing an internship for law school. Today is our half way mark! Yeah!!

He really enjoys his position and speaks very highly of everyone he is working with. While I was there I met a co-worker and his family. They were all very gracious and even invited us over for dinner one night. Very sweet!

Nick took me on a tour of the office. They are located on the 7th floor. Way up there!

This is the view from Nick's office -- very nice!

Just me.

As you know Nick is going to OU. Our biggest rival is the Texas Longhorns . . .

Picnicking In The Park

We have had such beautiful weather the past few days. Nick had the idea yesterday to have a picnic by the fish pond. So we gathered up all the fixings for yummy hamburgers, chips and dip and some fruit and headed off to the park. It was wonderful. Here are some pictures. . .                         

  

                                                       

We had so much fun yesterday . . . so we decided to do it again today. Dinner was delicious. We made chicken shishkebabs with green, red and yellow peppers and onions and pineapple. WOW! We need to do this more often.

How Fast Are You??

Okay this was fun to try. . .I have lost some of my typing skills, but it was nice to see I still know where all the keys are. Try it out.

Reflections of Christ

I guess this photo exhibit, Reflections of Christ, has been on display at the Mesa temple. The photographer, Mark Mabry, recreated the story of Christ's life with photography, taking pictures in Arizona in areas that resemble the Holy Land. There's music too so turn on your speakers. It is beautiful, Enjoy!

Medieval Fair

For the past few years I have heard of the Medieval Fair here in Norman. It is a fair that has been going on for the past 30 years. Last year it rained so I didn't want to go. It was a beautiful day -- 70 degrees with a light breeze. I called up our friends Kirk and Heather and their three girls and we went to the fair.

To say the least -- it was very interesting. I was told the fair has great Indian tacos, and funnel cakes. We were also cautioned about cleavage. When the women dress up in the medieval attire everything gets pushed up a little.

We saw an elephant, donkeys, llamas, and a camel.

We had a nice time. It was really nice to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Happy Birthday Dad

During the summer we were shopping for suits, when Harry (Nick's Dad) blessed us with this little freestyle. As a birthday gift we thought we would post this for your viewing pleasure. Harry we hope you have a wonderful birthday. We Love You!

My 24th Birthday

So I celebrated my 24th birthday the other day. I know, I know I'm 

getting so old. We didn't do a whole lot, just had some delicious food 

(corned beef and cabbage, candy salad and mashed red potatoes) 

and had a few friends over. Heather also made a Skor cake that 

 was wonderful. It was a nice relaxing day.

Nick and Marianne with our adopted kids (Kayla and Kynda).

Kynda loves doing hair. She kept brushing my 

hair and putting my headband in for like 30 minutes.

Jonathan and Chelsea left during a rain storm so Nick made them waterproof jackets.
