OKC: 16 Year Friendship

Tuesday Linnzie and I had breakfast to bid me farewell. I was on my way to Oklahoma to see my friend Alex. Alex and I became best friends in 1st grade, when I approached her and asked if she wanted to be my friend. We remained friends until I moved away in 4th grade. We kept in touch until we were ten and then lost each others numbers. Somehow, 5 years later, Alex contacted me and we both lived in Virginia again! So we met up, only once, before I moved back to Minnesota.


Now, 7 years later I am visiting Alex again - but this time I found her, on facebook - only two months ago! When I got here I laughed at how Alex now is so much like Alex then - she even has the same laugh! We talked for a good two hours before dinner - she made bay scallop spaghetti, it was so delicious! Afterward we decided on ice skating, which is really just hilarious because she knows what shes doing and shes from Oklahoma and I was so ridiculous, that only being my fifth time on the ice [yes yes I know i'm from Minnesota ha!].


We made our way to Brick Town OKC and sat at a little bar, laughing at all the crazies. I must say, though, Oklahoma has it's share of attractive men! Non of which I would talk to of course, because I am only 4 days into my year long commitment - way to be strong!!


We found that we couldn't last long because we were both exhausted and went home around 10:30. 
Today we are going to Turner Falls to swim among the water falls! I am beyond ecstatic!!!
