So it was Labor Day. Madison had stayed over from the night before, and we wanted to do something. So we drove. If you're reading this and you live in Broken Arrow, we drove all the way down 61st until it ends and turns into 71st. Then we drove some more. To places of Oklahoma I had never really seen, and by seen I don't mean simply looked at. I've lived in Oklahoma all my life, and never thought there was anything beautiful here. It was just "Oklahoma." Hot. Dry. Flat. All of those things are true, but I truly believe if you look hard enough you can find something beautiful anywhere at all. God's world is perfect and beautiful, all of it. So take time to acknowledge the beauty surrounding you, wherever you may be. I know you can find it if you just look.
From the looks of that bridge, you were really close to my house. Nice pics!
