Fun Filled Weekend

I can't believe that it is already Monday... This was a super fast and exciting weekend. Saturday night we went to OKC to watch the range round up. The range round up is a rodeo that working ranch teams compete in. Guess who lives on a working ranch and was there to support her family and ranch hands? Ree Drummond! We were pretty sure that she would be there, so we took a camera and her book to have signed. Well, Kirsten took her book, I forgot mine so I just got the picture. She was so nice and didn't seemed annoyed at all the we stalked her out...

We returned home late Saturday night. We were originally going to stay the night in the city, but we came home because we had a big night to get ready for on Sunday. Jimmy arrived in Tulsa around 10pm Sunday night. We were so excited to meet him and he seemed very excited to be here. He also seemed exhausted.

After we picked up his bags and had them loaded into the car, I told him we had to take a few pictures. I told him that I took pictures a lot and he would get used to it. The drive home was fun. Even though he was wiped out from the long day of traveling, he asked a lot of questions about us and the things that we do. He asked a lot of questions about the fire department and said that he had read about the recent fires that we have had.

He also made a comment about the trees. He wasn't expecting to really see a lot of trees, and even though it was very dark outside, he could see that there were many trees along the road. Apparently he had researched about Oklahoma and the rolling plains and was not expecting the trees to be so plentiful. Once we got home,  he was ready to just go to bed. We pulled in the driveway and got out to unload his bags and after one breath we discovered that there was a skunk somewhere close... Welcome to Oklahoma Jimmy!

This afternoon he will be enrolling in the High School and he will start school tomorrow. This will be a fast pace and hectic week, but hopefully he will get settled in easily and can start enjoying his time here in Oklahoma.
