14 years...and still going strong!!

Rai and I celebrated our 14th anniversary on March 22nd.  I can't believe it's been 14 years!!  My parents came down and watched the kids for a few days so Rai and I could spend some time in Bricktown/Downtown Oklahoma City.  We stayed right downtown, parked the truck on Sunday, and didn't get back in it until we left on Tuesday!  We walked EVERYWHERE!!  It was awesome!!  We visited several restaurants, went to the OKC Memorial Museum (which I think everyone should visit if you are ever in OKC), saw 2 movies in one day, went to a Thunder basketball game...we even fit in a workout at the hotel fitness center!! It was great to get away and spend some time together in a city that we have really come to love, before we have to leave it for good!  Edmond/OKC has been good to us these last almost 2 years...it is going to be very hard to say goodbye!!
 Cattlemen's Steakhouse...R had a Porterhouse, said it was the best steak of his life!!

 I had turkey and dressing...go figure! : )

 The Chase and Devon buildings...in process is a building that will be taller than these two stacked on top of each other!  Wish I could see that completed!!

 Oklahoma City.....THUNDER!!!

 R has been to several Thunder games, but I am usually at home with the little man!  So this was my first game since we've lived here...Thunder lost, but it was LOTS of fun!

 OKC Memorial...very touching memorial to the bombing vicitms.

 This was amazing...they built this statue of Jesus with his back to the bombing site...each nook in the bricks represents someone killed in the bombing...the statue is titled...And Jesus Wept...brought tears to my eyes!

Another view of the Memorial.  If you are ever in the OKC area, I highly recommend visiting the OKC Memorial Museum...we spent at least 2 hours there...it is an amazing tribute to the story of the bombing, the people who were killed in it, and the heroes who were involved in the rescue and treatment of the victims.
