Billy's a 5th Step!

Well, it's that time again! Billy was promoted (or graduated? I'm not really sure how to say it...) to a 5th step this week! There are seven steps in the apprenticeship, so he's getting close! We went out to german food after he took his last test to celebrate :)

Witchita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

Unfortunately Oklahoma is known (at least where I'm from) as being very flat, with nothing to look at. But just outside Lawton are the Witchita Mountains, which are not very mountainy but they are pretty with lots of... wildlife!

On another note, Billy's out of town working tonight so that means I get to have whatever I want for dinner, which will probably be something like this: 

Do you ever do this when you're alone for the night? I'm pretty sure if I was single I would just eat plates like this for all of my meals :)

Weekend Happenings

I realize that it's already Wednesday, but time has already seemed to get away from me this week. This was our last weekend home for awhile as Billy has some work stuff coming up the next couple Saturdays, and the weekend after that we leave for the Poconos! So this weekend was filled with lovely time relaxing, enjoying each other and the wonderful spring weather.

I don't know if you've ever heard of Indian tacos before. I hadn't before we moved here, but let me tell you, they add an entire new level of cultural depth to Oklahoma. They start out with a deliciously chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside, piece of fry-bread, layer ground beef, beans, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese on top and finish it off with some sour cream, salsa and onion garnish. It's amazing.

Billy sweetly offered to go pick some up for lunch for us on Saturday and may or may not have come back with three of them... and lets just say he didn't finish two by himself.

The thing about Indian tacos, in Lawton anyway, is that you can't just buy them whenever you want. You have to wait for these special evens throughout the year like festivals or fundraisers to buy them, which of course makes them just that much tastier. 

We spent the rest of our weekend sipping Moscow Mules on our makeshift patio. 

Billy plays in a church softball league on Monday nights and his games have been so much fun to watch. They've been on a great winning streak!

Happy Wednesday!
