Back to K-Town!

I had such an amazing weekend!  Ricky left Friday morning for drill (he won't be back until this Friday) so I had the weekend alone so me and Meredith decided to take a trip back to Kingfisher for some fried chicken and good mexican food!  So saturday after I finished my run (only did 8 instead of 12...didn't feel so good) we headed to OKC to meet up with a friend for lunch and then put a big dent in my wallet at the mall ha.  But I did get some super cute new jeans!  Then we headed to Okarche, home of Eichens friend chicken.  Soooo good.  Sunday morning got up and went to my old church there in Kingfisher, it's always strange to go back to a place that was so close to home and things are different.  But I got to see some good friends.  Then we had lunch at my favorite Mexican place in Kingfisher....yummmmm!  Got some sun by the pool, and a short nap, and headed back to Tulsa.

Overall an excellent weekend, but even though Ricky is gone this week I have lots to do.  Which is good, keeps me busy :)  Ricky gets back Friday night sometime and I can't wait!

Branson trip

This weekend me and Ricky went on a trip to Branson with Shane and Jennifer.  It was fun with the exception that our AC in the condo didn't work.  Meaning the first night we got to sleep in a hotel that wasn't exactly 5 stars....but it was better than nothing I suppose.  But they temporarily fixed it and we got to spend the rest of the weekend in the condo.

While in Branson we got to go to the Dixie Stampede.  I haven't been since I was maybe 12 and had forgotten how cool it was.  You eat all this food with your hands, chicken, potato, corn, bisquit (my fav!) and soup.  Soooo much food, but it was tasty.

We didn't do much else exciting, the traffic was terrible there though.  Apparently it was the busiest weekend in Branson because they were having this car show.  So it took us a long time to get anywhere.

So all in all, it was a good weekend.  Hopefully next time we go back we won't have any unfortunate mishaps.  

On the weight loss journey, I gained .4 this week which is incredible seeing as how much I snacked this weekend.  Went to the grocery store last night and picked up all kinds of fruit and veggies and can't wait to pick up my running mileage this week.  

Until next time!......

And so it begins....

Welcome all to my blog....

My intention for this is to just share with you my life.  I have seen several other people I know start these and they are fun to read.  So I thought I would start my own.  The next couple years will have lots of ups and downs and I would like to share most of those things with whoever reads this :)

We are headed to Branson for a get-away this weekend with some amazing people.  So it will be a blast, and I can't wait for it!

We ran a quarter marathon on Saturday and both successfully finished :)  Here is a pic.

Well that's all I have for my first post.....stayed tuned.
