Our trip to Oklahoma was great- Blake thinks his interview went really well, and we should know by the end of March. We went on a tour of Tulsa with Blake's aunt and uncle and it seemed like a bigger version of Springfield. Here's some fun pictures from OK.
While we were there we were also able to see the Oklahoma City National Memorial. It was so powerful, it's hard to explain. There are two archways, one that says 9:01 and another that says 9:03, with a pool in between. They signify the moment before the blast, the moment after, and the faces reflected in the pool that were changed forever. There is also a field of 168 chairs, one for each of those killed, with 19 smaller sized chairs for each of the children. 
One of the most interesting parts of our visit to the memorial though, was across the street from the memorial. A Catholic church was destroyed in the blast, except for a cross on the easter wall of the church that had been there since 1909. In the place where that church stood is now a statue of Jesus turned away from the memorial crying. I got a great picture of it as well.

I am glad his interview went well. Sorry our phone kept cutting out.
