Downtown OKC

Yesterday, to celebrate our anniversary, we took a drive to OKC for some shopping and sightseeing!

I had a lovely, long date with Target, and Jake had an affair with the entertainment section at Sams.

We also stopped by Bricktown in the downtown district. It was a lovely part of town surrounded by old factory buildings and canal that runs through it. Later on we stopped by the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. Jake lived in Northern Oklahoma City at the time of the explosion and remembers hearing it go off when he was in school. I had never known much about it since I was pretty young at the time, so it was an educational experience for me. The memorial was a beautiful place complete with a reflection pool and 168 chairs symbolizing those claimed by the attack. The entire day was just what we needed, a day away from this chaos filled house! Now it's back to reality and time to finally finish unpacking. Thanks for all of your calls, texts, videos, and fb postings... I'm glad to know our marriage is so greatly supported :)

Adorable Bricktown complete with water taxi rides and rocking dock tables.
