This past weekend

I can't believe May is already here. It doesn't feel like it. Its been in the 40s and 50s for the past couple of days. I had a really nice weekend. Friday, I went with Chet, Bobbi, Amanda Willie and a new friend Kyle down to Pop's on Route 66 near OKC. It was really a great time. If you haven't been, I would highly encourage it. Its a gas station with about 500 kinds of sodas, and it also serves food as well. It was built by the CEO of Chesapeake a few years ago. Its kind of a throwback to the old Route 66 days, but also looks modern if that's possible. I drove the group down there and we enjoyed some nice cherry-limeade slushes as we waited for a table to open up. We hung out on the grass and got to know one another better. Kyle played on the TU basketball team, and seems to be a really cool guy. I knew Bobbi and Chet well, but we played "speed friendship" during the night, and always learn more each time. I had a buffalo burger along with whole fried okra. The burger was great, but I prefer the cut fried okra. After dinner, I bought some Cheerwines and a few orange sodas and we came back home. It was nice to get away from Tulsa for a little bit. Saturday was pretty relaxing. I woke up about 11 am. That evening, I celebrated the fact that I paid off my car and and now debt free! You don't know how good it feels to have no debt (except the house). I will never buy a car with credit again.   Sunday, I went to church, then ate dinner with a new friend from church who just moved to Tulsa. I took him to Fuddruckers and we had some good conversation. Sunday night, I went over to Lindsey's house and had pizza with her, Chet, Kevin, and Natalie. I like it over there because it brings back some great memories of when I first became friends with all of the LifeChurch people. We went over there after a Valentine's dinner. There are many times I wish everything was just like it was then, but that's not how life works. People move on. I headed home afterwards, got some coffee at Cherry st, and headed home to get ready for the week. I'll try to blog more often. Its a good outlet!
