Back to Oklahoma

 Matthew had to return to Oklahoma this morning.  We had such a wonderful time together. The party on Thursday was fun with good food and friends.  I even played some yard games.  Matthew was happy to have time with his buddy Mitch. Matthew burned all of his high school papers in the bonfire. If you are his friend on facebook, you can see pictures of 4 years of home work go up in flames!

Friday we were able to eat pizza at his favorite place, Mancino's.  Sarah took us to JCPenney's and Wal-Mart to find some clothes that fit Matthew.  After running 3 times a week all year, he needed a smaller size! We spent Friday evening at the ball park.  The Whitecaps won and we saw fireworks too! Sarah and Matthew lit up our driveway with special sparklers that Mary left for us.  She was at the Cory's for the evening on 4th of July. She also gave us a CD with slideshows and videos of the European Trip.  It was so well done with music and captions.

This morning we were up early and got Matthew to the airport to fly back to Oklahoma. He needs to be back to work at the scene shop @ OU on Monday.  Although I was sad to see him go, I didn't cry and am happy he likes his work. I am so proud of him and me too. It won't be long and he will move into an apartment with 3 of his buddies.   I know he looks forward to that day, especially since when Matt got back to his dorm room, he had a new room mate. Surprise!  Would have been nice if someone told him before he arrived.

That is all for now.
