September 2009

I actually have quite a few non-wedding happenings this month. :)

Ken and I also had a fun day off in Ponca City. After our pre-marrital counseling, we made a very spur of the moment trip there for dinner and it turned into a great evening. I had been hearing a lot about this mexican food place , Enrique's, in the airport (of all places) in Ponca. REALLY??? A small town airport has a great restaurant??? YES THEY DO!!!! Oh my, do they ever!!!! Worth the drive, I promise! The fun thing is you can drive OR you can just fly your plane in...land right outside the restaurant's back door and just stop in to eat. Their flour AND corn tortillas are homemade....AND they use their homemade corn tortillas to make their HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS!!! All our food really was fantastic! As we were leaving, to army helicopters (I can't remember the actualy name of them, but Ken doesn't read my blog...so I think its ok) landed right outside....of course, the guys were coming in for dinner! We took lots of pictures! From there, we took a little tour of Ponca and I "guided" Ken to the Marlin Mansion. I had been there for a wedding this summer and its really neat. We got there and just walked around and took pictures. It really was a great day! I like it!!! COWBOY BASKETBALL!!!! I know, football hadn't even started....but the eve of our first football game was the basketball banquet! It was GREAT! My friend from work, Steph, and I went to Gallagher for dinner and intro of the 2009-'10 team. We had a great time...and I got my picture with fellow Jenks-Alum, Nick Sadorkis! And then the following day....OSU upset Georgia! It was so fun!!! The Georgia fans were great and classy and just nice to be around! Mason and Raley came with mom and dad and we made a day of it! There was actually a home football game EVERY weekend in September. The only other game I got pictures was the last game when Spencer came!
I took a trip to OKC to meet with Michelle and her aunt for some wedding stuff. I pulled out my camera with the NEW lense (my birthday present from Ken) and took pictures of Finley. She is growing SO fast and I just love watching her change. In seperate posts, I will blog about my bachelorette party and the church shower I had.

And lastly, on Sept. 30th...the day I was heading to Tulsa for the wedding...Michelle met me in Stillwater, her SUV loaded to the BRIM with wedding stuff. The funnest part of the day was watching Finley while she had a hair appointment. Kenny and I had so much fun with her!!! We danced and played with dogs and ate....and the bestest part of all is Kenny gave her a "helicopter" ride!!! Finley's helicopter was the laundry basket...but I CANNOT express how much fun she had!!!!
