I can’t believe that my last post was in August. Where does the time go? So much has happened I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Here’s a short synopsis: We moved into a rental home, grandpa and grandma Garard moved to Enid, Barb dyed her hair red, we went to the Texas State Fair, there’s a cat outside who thinks he belongs to us, oh, and I turned another year older. Yes, I am now 24 years old. It seems like just yesterday I was walking down the halls of school in my plaid uniform heading to Miss Heath’s class wondering if Mat Sperling will arrive on time or if we will have to send out a search party once again. Those were the days. Not that I would ever want to go back. Because now I am married to the most wonderful man who planned a surprise birthday trip for me this past weekend. He wouldn’t tell me where we were going and he only revealed one step at a time. We arrived in downtown Tulsa Friday afternoon and pulled up to the Crowne Plaza. I was shocked! They treated us like royalty the whole time (bottles of water, sleep cd’s, lavender pillow mist, eye masks). Well, we got up to our room, and Kurt announced that in 45 minutes we would be making our way down to the 2nd floor for messages and a Geisha bath(jacuzzi hot tub with water that falls from the ceiling). After that we went back to our rooms and Kurt had already planned on room service for dinner! The food was amazing. The next morning he took me to Jenks,OK. to a river walk shopping area and then to the quaint downtown area for antique shopping. It was the most relaxing birthday ever. We had a great time. Barb and Paul came down for my birthday this weekend and we spent Sunday with them. Guess what Barb got me for a birthday gift. Shoes! Those of you who know Barb won’t be surprised. I must say that she did a good job picking out shoes that fit my style. Hopefully in the next couple of days I’ll post some recent photos of life in Enid. And, hopefully I’ll do a better job of posting.
