The travel bug

Ronnie and I caught the travel bug last week after Ronnie got out of the hospital so we decided to take a spur-of-the-moment trip to see his family. After a late night at the rodeo on Friday, we woke up early on Saturday and drove to Dallas. We had a great day with Ronnie's Uncle Ken, Aunt Tracy, and cousins Samantha and Zane. It is hard to believe almost exactly a year ago, we were in Dallas picking up our little Mia bug! Mia had a great time playing with all their little Chihuahuas, too. It is always so great to spend time with Uncle Ken and Fam.

The morning came too early on Sunday as we headed toward Tulsa at about 4:30am. We made it into town before church and even had enough time to have breakfast with our great friends Logan and Haylee. What an unexpected surprise! We stayed in Tulsa from Sunday until Wednesday morning.

Here are the highlights:
*Sunday morning breakfast with our amazing friend's Logan and Haylee-- couldnot have asked for a better start to the trip
*Seeing Jake sing at church on Sunday
*Lunch with Grandma and Papa McCulley followed by a visit with Great Grandma Owens in the nursing home
*Watching Lauren ride her horse, Patriot, and then getting a chance to ride ourselves!
*Having dinner with Aunt Jan and listening to all of her funny stories from China
*Stopping by Tulsa Bible Church to say thank you to all the wonderful staff there for their prayers and support
*Taco Bueno lunch with family (this was a high point for Ronnie)
*Pizza dinner at Jessica and Ryan's house filled with wrestling, funny stories, ferrite fun, and family time with the McCulley's and Nana and Grandpa
*Late night movie's (for us girls) and whatever-it-was that the boys did during that time...
*Watching Mia and Boomer fight over the multitude of chew-sticks around the house
*Dressing Mia and Boomer in their clothes


All and all, it was a very fast but fun trip.
