Today's the BIG day!

The young man above is Patrick Conlen. He was Kristen's stand partner in the high school orchestra (this picture is from high school). He is a wonderful violinist and is studying music at the University of Oklahoma. Last night, Kristen invited me to go with her to see his Junior recital at the university for an elective music class she is taking. He was wonderful. I saw a couple of other parents in the audience that had children in the orchestra with he and Kristen in high school (but our children no longer play). I really loved hearing him play in high school and now he is even more enjoyable.

On to other news.... Today is the day for final try-outs for the OU pom squad. Kaitlyn is getting ready as we speak. I'll let everyone know this evening how that went.

Joe and I are walking in the American Heart Walk today through his company and Kristen is also walking with some of her sorority sisters as part of their philanthropic efforts. I may post some pictures later of the Oklahoma bombing memorial as tomorrow is the 14th anniversary of the bombing and we walk right by it on the walking route.
