Oklahoma Trip

Last week was so fun! First, we Finished the homestudy! YAY!!!
and, it was signed on our 8 year anniversary. What does that mean? Nothing. I still like it.
That night, we drove to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jeremy was scheduled to work at a job site there, and one of my best friends (of 17 years!) Mandy lives there. We haven't seen each other in years, although we talk on the phone and email daily. How perfect that I got to visit her, especially after she came through last minute with a beautiful reference for our homestudy!

Me and Mandy
 

We went to the zoo one day, and I could not believe that poisonous frogs were sitting around within touching distance! There were signs everywhere saying not to touch the frogs. You could not take Ben there. It seriously gave me the creeps! It was in the rainforest section, and there were vines and such hanging from the ceiling, tiny monkeys running around, birds and rat-like creatures walking past us... yuck!
 

Me with Mandy's kiddos. The kids were so sweet, they were so excited to meet me (my first time meeting the 2 little ones) and I even babysat them for 3 hours while Mandy had to take her husband to the Dentist for some work.
The kids were so polite, maybe the most polite I've ever met, and did I mention sweet? Wow, what a group!
