Well, we made the trip down to Norman for the OU Tech game. Most of you know how that turned out....Besides the actual game we had a blast! One of my best friends, Jean lives in OKC so we stayed with him at his downtown apartment. I have to say that I enjoyed the city a lot more than I thought that I would. We went out the night before the game. It was cold, but it was good to hang out with everyone again! Sunday (after the game we don't speak of) we visited the OKC Bombing site. It was pretty amazing. Sadly, this was not my first encounter with a memorial like this. My family went to NYC not even a full year after Sept. 11th. The amount of people and the heaviness in the air was indescribable. This was eerily similar just on a smaller scale. It is hard to put these horrific acts into perspective until you witness the scale of it first hand. The visit put us behind on getting home, but it was definitely worth the lost sleep. There are so many pictures that I wanted to share but I had to pick a select few. I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

Brian thought it would be funny to wear just his long johns at tailgate....it wasn't.

They built a chair for each person killed....
The smaller ones were for children (the 2nd floor was a daycare)
