We arrived in Ada, Oklahoma on Sunday – this will be our home for the next two months while we visit family and get married. We’ve enjoyed spending some time with Michael’s mom and pop while we catch up on ALL of our laundry. We had a whole bunch of clothes and linens saved up for when we got here as it was so difficult to do laundry when we were at Choke Canyon.
Upon arrival and setting up in our shady spot – we get great late afternoon shade which is very nice as we move in to the summer months soon – we headed over the 3 or so miles to visit his folks. It was great having time to catch up and pick up mail and packages that we’d had sent there. Now that my job is done we’ve had time to be over there often this week and even took the dogs one afternoon so they could go run and play in their fenced in backyard. Our pups get daily walks sometimes even twice daily – but when we can let them go over there and run off leash and play it’s so good for them and we love watching them play together and run free. I also loved getting the chance to cook for his folks this week – we made some hamburgery stroganoff in the Ninja Foodi for them. I’m planning on a chicken taco salad for this coming week to make for them – we love this recipe.
Michael’s mom and I ordered the wedding cake this week and picked out a few decorations for the wedding day. It’s also been exciting as my wedding dress came in – nothing too formal but pretty and can be worn again. We aren’t planning on anything large or formal – just a few family members outside in the yard and then grilling some food afterwards. Michael’s brother is performing the ceremony for us which makes it even more special.
As I type this on Saturday afternoon the weather has been wonderful today. We woke up to 59 degree weather today and it didn’t make it much above the mid-60’s for temps today. It’s been such an amazing change from the 90’s we’ve been in for a while in Texas. We’ve even been able to have the windows open and enjoy some fresh air. We took advantage this week of having his folks nearby to store some food as we needed to defrost our refrigerator and freezer as well. It’s been a productive week so far for us and we have more plans for productivity this coming week.
