Memory Monday ~ OKC Road Trip!

A short but very memorable and ridiculously picture-filled road trip to OKC to help out at Malori's new house...

We left on Friday, April 1st.  Jeff was nice enough to volunteer to drive us all... he had a rented Jeep (with an Illinois tag) that was perfect for our trip. :)  We left Tulsa from my house around 6:00!

Then we took a detour "side trip" to Pops on our way...

Jeff was more excited than anyone about the giant pop bottle.  "Best side trip ever!"  :)

Cheers! :)

When we got to OKC, Mom met us at Malori's to drop off some paint stuff... we took a quick tour of the house... then went to dinner at Bravo!  Yum. :)

The girls :)

I <3 the bread and red sauce... but maybe not this much!

"This is my fortress and I'm the queen!"  (one of many memorable Jeff quotes) :)

Then (around 10:30) we finally got to work.  Here's the guys, ready to acid wash the garage floor! :)  LOVE it.

Bobbi and Laura, the taping queens!  Bobbi had Pandora on the "I Gotta Feelin'" Black Eyed Peas station through most of our taping, painting, etc. and I must say, it made it much more fun! :)

Everyone working hard... we got all the taping and the acid washing done that night.

Well, almost everyone... ;)

"Here, let daddy take care of it..."
(This trip really needs its own Quotables post... so that's coming next.)

The guys decided to camp out and sleep at the new house, while the girls all went back to Malori's apartment... so Jeff and Chet were the first to sleep in Malori's new bedroom. lol

Saturday morning, we woke up bright and early and Bill met us at Panera for breakfast ~ fun!!  Then we rushed to the house to meet the Cox Cable guy, who was actually on time for once.  And thus began day two, starting by painting Malori's kitchen in Livid Violet... very pretty! :)

Chet Lee, the "speed painter," doing his M strokes for Martha Stewart.  :)

Bobbi, the ladder queen.  She was so great and had to go up and down a million times during this process!

Painting the guest room a nice shade of gray (Porpoise was the actual color name - lol).

The six of us in Malori's new living room, after our work was done!

The guys standing in front of the completed garage floor ...looks great! =)

And finally, yoga time in the finished kitchen!

Then we packed up and headed back to Tulsa... but not before one last stop at Pops! :)
The End.
