Sometimes it seems we spend months or years doing the same things and going through the same motions only to suddenly have lots of change happen all at once. That definitely seems to be the case in my life.
Having your wedding anniversary three days away from your birthday makes for a hectic week, but I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. The three day span usually manifests as multiple small celebrations — a meal here, a movie there, another meal the next day, and so on. This year for our anniversary Susan and I ate at Vast, the restaurant located at the top of the Devon Tower. We toured the tower earlier this year with Morgan’s Girl Scout Troop, but hadn’t had the opportunity to eat at the restaurant until this week. Lunch prices were very affordable and the view of Oklahoma City was astounding.
On Friday Susan and I had lunch at Outback Steakhouse with my dad, and on Saturday we were eating again, this time at the HuHot Mongolian Grill. Susan brought one of those oversized cookies with “Treat Yo Self” written on it, a reference to Parks and Recreation.
(The youngest one in that picture is not mine — that’s my nephew Zephyr.)
And then there’s school. Today is my first day back in college in ten years. I’ll only be attending one class this semester, a prerequisite to begin my masters program in the spring. Susan took my first day of school picture this morning and even pac’ed a lunch for me.
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’, into the future…
