Oklahoma Love

The guys and I just returned from a 5 star vacation in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is not on the list of top ten vacation destinations for most people, but for my family, Oklahoma is always a welcome destination. Who wouldn't want to spend a week on a picturesque lake greeted upon arrival with an ice cold pina coloda? Lounging on the lake drinking beverages that are simply brought to you because it was time. Listening to cousins, aunts, and uncles laughing sharing stories and teasing each other just because we can. Eating local delights like armadillo eggs and cat fish all equal vacation heaven, but there was one part of our hearts that was missing that all the fun and kinship could not fill.

My beautiful sister is currently kicking cancers ass. Travel and cancer treatment do not mix, so she had to sit this trip out. We missed her beautifully bossy bald head and toasted to her continued pummelling of cancer. So while we listened to the locusts cicadas in the evening, while smelling the warm air that has more than a hint of oil in it, we were loving you, my beautiful cancer whooping bossy sister. Oklahoma style.
