Humble Beginnings

What a great weekend!

We took a quick trip up to Oklahoma this weekend with hubby's parents and brother and had a wonderful time.  It was a very spur of the moment trip and very much needed and appreciated!  We went to the National Wildlife Refuge right outside of Lawton, OK and drove to Meers, OK (which is also a beautiful drive).  We stopped in little Texas towns on the way up there and just had a great time.  Here are a few pictures from our trip.

This is the kids in front of the world's largest cedar rocking chair (isn't it huge?)

This is a haunted hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas (isn't that cool?).

Storm coming in while we were driving through National Wildlife Refuge.

And the beautiful rainbow and buffalo after the storm.

And finally, this buffalo was a mere 3-4 feet away from our truck.  The herd was moving across the road at the time we came across this intersection and cars were backed up waiting for them to move out of the way.

As I said, we had a wonderful time.  This was also a wonderful early anniversary present.  Today hubby and I celebrate 14 years of wedded bliss.  We've lasted longer than other couples who were married around the same time we were.  I love my husband very much.  He is a wonderful man and I couldn't even imagine being married to anyone else but him.
