Fun mini trip to see an old friend!!

Oklahoma bound

Crossing the Red so called River

Some scenery

Notice all the signs (advertisements) on the left side.....there was so many

Of course CATTLE.....its the homeland!!

Love this picture, it wasn't edited either....just plain ole beauty!

2nd toll booth.....Oklahoma is now $6.00 richer because of me   ......darn Okies

Can we say DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!   So much food, oh so good.....3 meals out of it!!!

My friend stopped here to get gas.....I didn't even realize, I go in to use the restroom and then when I'm in there, I realize, I had been there before just a few months before.......I was like OKAY!!! I TOTALLY HAVE BEEN HERE!!!!! 

We made it!!!

I do have to say...since working at my current job, I can walk miles and miles without getting tired, I guess because I do it everyday.  I could of walked all over that park 50 more times......I was happy and proud of myself.  Last time I went, I thought I was going to die...lol  but I'm also 20 pounds lighter

Of course you can pay 5.00 to ride a camel to go around ONCE!!!!

There were taking their 15 minute break, lol

The light show!

My friend Krystal, who I hadnt seen in YEARS!!!  We wen to school together and she was even in my wedding, which did everything for me......shes such a great woman!!!

Dragon in the water.....RAWR!!!!!

It was made for me :)    My signature....tho of course it was in the middle of an Oklahoma State, so I had to cut that off!!

Finally found the right lighting for pictures

Don't kill me Krystal....I put em ALL on here....

It was so hard to hold my phone and take a pic.....it was being complicated

Don't ask, I don't know....I was trying to look at the lighting...lol

My favorite picture of the night.....

Now when it was MY turn to do the picture in the middle of the bridge, they kept going off and going down the bridge, and we waited TWO TIMES for it to work....so between that and the dang people, this was my shot, lol

Coming home, I cross the Texas border, right in front of Burk and there was tons of people on the side of the road and something burning in the middle of the highway....it was a car,

This one rolled and tumbled.

I was front row waiting....the car to the left got out and there was so much debre on the road that I just stayed there.  Cops and ambulances and fire trucks all showed....no one was freaking out, so I'm pretty sure everyone was okay.  The weird thing about it to me was, when the first cop pulled up, he started talking to a kid.....when there were adults around.....it was a little bizarre to me.

 So I took some of these pictures above and edited them on the way to Oklahoma.....you can also see them here ***BOOYA***.  I had a really fun time with a friend that I haven't seen in years.  I was thinking on the way up there when the last time was when we saw each other and we both couldn't remember.  I thought maybe it was my wedding almost 6 years ago, but surely we both thought we had seen each other after that.  The wonderful thing about her and my friends who I grew up with, is that it could be years, alot of years, but when we see each other for the first time, we pick up like it was yesterday.  Of course I had alot to share with her over the past few years, to keep her updated with my life, but other than that, we reminisced on the past and we talked about how much we really have changed. 

She was always going to be the one to get tattoos and piercings and I ended up getting them, even though when I was a kid I thought it was just plain evil.  I swore to never get married or have kids and I'm the one who got married and wanted a family.....still do!!!   I was the athletic one and was very tom boyish and yet, now I wear dresses and get dolled up all the time.  I think when I'm around her, I'm reminded of my thoughts of when I was kid and our conversations.  Since there is gaps of growing up that we didn't spend with each other, we are only reminded of the time, (which was being a kid) and we go back to then.  I enjoyed it though.  I actually loved talking about the good, innocent, we cant wait to grow up, we are going to do this and that and marry him, and our parents and just the future.  Now here we are......10 years after graduating high school and our plans didn't quite turn out the way we thought or envisioned, but some are better and some are worse or some just haven't came true yet.

I can honestly say I am blessed with great friends who I have known for 10+ years.  I can think of 4 off the top of my head who knows me inside out.  I hope now that I know that Oklahoma isn't a thousand miles away and my car can make it, lol, that I can visit more and go on more mini trips or weekend trips.
I was told that where I was going was 2 hours away and I made it in an 1 hour and 10 minutes.  Now I do have a lead foot problem, but people were honestly passing me up and I was going 80, so I didn't feel worried about getting pulled over.   I got to Lawton in like 40 minutes and it honestly snuck up on me and I called my grandpa and told him I was there, then I told him I was going to call him when I made it to my destination and when I did, he goes, ALREADY!!!!????  hehe......yes grandpa!!! :)

So on the way up there.....I heard this song like 5 times.....totally jammed, turned my stereo, all the way up to as loud as it could go and danced..... :)    *****SHAKE IT******
