Good Old Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Elizabeth, Jon, and I just got back from our trip to Oklahoma. I have to be honest; I love that place. In the 6 days we were there I had all sorts of crazy experiences. I saw a snake on someones driveway, I went out on a paddle boat on a one acre pond in someones backyard, I spent part of one evening with my family in a bathroom taking refuge from what was supposed to be the largest tornado producing storm in twenty years, and I had great food that cannot be found in California. The people there are also the nicest people you could ever find and the land is dirt cheap. I am sorry but as you can see, part of me is tempted to pack up and move there right now. Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, is a little unknown paradise.

Graduation

Well I am now officially a college graduate. A couple of weeks ago I had my honors reception where I was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma. The following morning at 8 am I had the College of Business Administration comencement ceremony in COX Arena followed by a reception for the School of Accountancy in the Aztec Athletic Hall of Fame. It was really neat to introduce many of my professors to Jon and others in my family. Afterwards all of us went to my apartment where we had lunch. During lunch we received a visit from Elizabeth's great uncle who happens to be a world champion yo yo man. He gave all of us a free show that lasted about 45 minutes. It was really world class entertainment and it made that lunch a trully memorable experience. It was a great weekend but exausting at the same time. Although it was nice to have a day dedicated to me, I am glad it is all over and I can move on with my life.

Going to Oklahoma.

We leave for Oklahoma today. We are all so excited. Rick is nervous though. He doesn't know if he'll fit in. He wants to see a real redneck...:) He is just joking but its cute to hear him say it. Jon got his Third tooth on Sunday. Now Jon is sitting up all the time on his own and if there is something to grab onto he is always trying to stand up.
Rick Graduated From College on May 24. We are all so proud of him and so excited. Well I will write more later. Jon has gotten to the computer and he will destoy it, so its time to shut it down before he does.
