awesome & awkward

[cheers to mini reunions]

awesome (movie-themed):

• like so many i know, i loved the black panther movie. the soundtrack by kendrick lamar, the costumes, the hair, the character development and storyline...incredible. did anyone else tear up at killmonger's story? i cannot wait to see it again.
• T and i finally saw the latest jumanji movie and it has made my love for jack black triple. he killed it at playing a self-absorbed teenager obsessed with her phone. #yassqueen
• while i absolutely love wonder woman, after watching the justice league, i've become a huge fan of the flash. the character was hilarious, and i love his awkward commentary. 

awkward:

• a couple of weekends back, T and i were having dinner at m+j's and in the middle of conversation i took a bite out of a jalapeno popper. prior to the bite, michael stated he wasn't too sure these peppers would be hot at all. so, i took a big bite thinking i'd be safe...i could not have been more wrong. my eyes got huge, i started tearing up, and began chugging water before quickly switching to milk. it took awhile before i could easily talk and eat again. oops.

405 day

last thursday, T and i enjoyed 405 brewing's fiesta for april 5th aka 405 day. 405 brewing celebrated all things 405 with local brews, music, food, and community. it was their first 405 fest, but, the crowds came out in full support. T and i, of course, love supporting local, but it makes me even happier to see the support of the community. 

to add to the festivities, 405 brewing debuted a new beer called stu aka their west coast ipa.

[the fried taco's bbq jackfruit taco - unbelievable]

in between the killer musical talents, T and jonathan (one of the owners of 405 brewing) had raffle drawings for local prizes from their 405 sponsors. i may be biased, but a certain baldy was a pretty great emcee.

it was such a great night supporting local, and i already can't wait until next year's 405 day!

spring...have you decided to not come to ok (or in general) after all? no one is wanting winter to stay around any longer. so, if you would like to breeze on through before we get to summer, i'd be okay with that. pretty please. 

seriously winter, go home - you're drunk.

ziplining in ok

a couple of weekends back, my dad set us up for a ziplining tour to celebrate his birthday. it was his, my mom's, and brother's first time to zipline and what better place to do it than at T and i's wedding venue!

you heard me right, T and i's wedding venue has a zipline tour on the grounds. how cool is that? it was so wild to be back at postoak since the last time we were there, we were getting hitched. on the drive there, T said, i remember the last time we were driving here, you were way more stressed about all the things you had to get done. he was SO right. that to-do list seemed to never end. then, we were married, we snapped photos, we partied, we after-partied, then we left crazy early the next morning for our mexican honeymoon. it was intense and wild and beautiful. but, back to the zipline :)

[going through all the instructions]

the weather was supposed to be sunny, springtime temps and perfect for zipping through the trees. what we unfortunately got was frigid winds with intermittent sun. not ideal zipling weather, but at the same time, nothing makes you forget your fears about letting go than that oklahoma wind! 

[see ya T]

honestly, even with the cold, the tour was so unbelievably fun. i view it as an upgraded roller coaster-slide combo with a hint of feeling like a action star...aka all fun and a great way to celebrate another year around the sun for my sweet dad.
