Back to the Grind

After a long weekend full of activity, my parents are gone. It's always hard the first 24 hours and then slowly gets better. I am honestly so happy to have parents that I enjoy being around. I know I'll see them again soon, but it's never soon enough for me :)

Our weekend started with a quick church meeting, then we headed south to the Chickasaw Cultural Center. In case you were not aware, (since I'm really really white), I am a citizen of the Chickasaw tribe. In fact, there is a tiny town in Oklahoma named after our family :) Anyways, we had a small family reunion where we met up to see this new center. I forgot our camera so these were taken by my cousin Katie.

{Most of the family that came! (Someone had to take the photo)}

{I did cover the faces of the two youngest members. Since I'm not sure how their parents feel about having the faces online, I thought I'd block it out.} 

{Meeting Great Aunt Becky for the first time!} 

Then Sunday, (Phil's first Father's Day), we had Jillian baptized at the new church we've recently joined. Two of my aunts from the reunion came to the service, as well as my in-laws! We had lunch at Interurban after and had a nice afternoon. For dinner, my parents babysat while Phil and I went out for a fancy dinner and a movie to celebrate his new job, graduation, and getting a big boy paycheck :)

{Fun side note: He was my choir director my senior year of high school! I had no idea he was still at the church when we started visiting and were able to reconnect. Small world huh?}

Yesterday was more of a relaxing day for us. My mom and I went to see this movie, dad and I bought him an official Thunder t-shirt, and we had a nice dinner at Rib Crib. Sadly, they had to start the trek back home after lunch today. I made sure we got a nice photo before they left :)

I will admit that we're probably in the minority of those who don't really care about the big game for the Thunder tonight. We are more baseball and college football fans. I mean, it would be neat and all, but we're not on the edge of our seats about it.

I hope y'all are having a great start to the week!!
