By request, here's some info on my Oklahoma City life. Enjoy the glimpse into what has made my life here so happy.
1. David! Getting to see him everyday is something I hope I'll never take for granted. I can't believe I ever made it Monday-Thursday without him! We truly enjoy our time together, the ordinary time of dishes, groceries, bills, and cooking dinner have been better because we are together. We've had some fun special events, too, but I love our daily life together as much as any special night out we've had. We're about to celebrate our first year of marriage on May 24!
2. Church of the Servant. I love our church! It is unique in so many ways, especially among Methodist churches. One of the pinkies said that they call it "jungle church"! It has live plants, including full size palm trees, growing in the sanctuary and a waterfall in the lobby! Check it out at http://www.churchoftheservant.com/. The people are wonderful. I am involved in a women's Bible study and I'm leading it this summer. David is on missions council.
3. MissionLinc Sunday school class. They are the coolest, most passionate people. David and I have loved getting to know everyone. There are 6 or 7 couples that are the core of the class, and we continue to grow. Check it out at http://www.missionlinc.com/. We are currently mentoring/assisting a needy family. One of the couples in our class actually bought a home for them to rent! We are going over there tonight to start getting it ready for them. Moving day is April 25. We are also going on a couples retreat May 1-3. Check out this photo from our '80s Rock Band night...
**Check out the flair on David's perfectly stonewashed Hard Rock Cafe jacket, his Cliff Huxtable sweater and braided leather belt. You can't see his pegged jeans and penny loafers. I'm working the Flashdance shoulder, and I have David's class ring on a chain around my neck. You probably can't see the purple eyeshadow I'm wearing, but oh baby...did I look the part! David saw me after I got all dolled up and said, "You look totally awesome!" I told him he looked rad.
4. Oklahoma City itself. I read this morning that OKC is the 6th most livable city in the country, as ranked by Forbes magazine. It has sports, the arts, shopping, and, well, interesting weather. Here's a photo:
5. Our little pet family. Here are our children, Max, Clyde, and Possum.
Pictures of our house will be in a future post, once I've planted all the flowers in the front. And once Oklahoma decides to pick a season (hopefully spring) and stick with it for the entire week.
