October 10th just so happens to be Pistol Pete's Birthday, and thanks to the wonderful OKC Zoo, we got to go to his very cool Birthday party! It was neat to see so many OSU fans at the Zoo and so fun to see Pistol Pete and get to eat some of his yummy cake. We were excited bc party pics was there and you could take picture with Pete, well.... that didn't turn out so great. Wyatt loved looking at him, but when it was our turn and we got right next to him, he clung to me and buried his head. So, our picture was pretty sad looking :( We did have a great day though and enjoyed walking around the zoo after the big party.
On Saturday, Aaron and I participated in an event that is near and dear to my heart- The Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure. In college this was my sorority's philanthropy. We raised money for them and volunteered at the race, so I have alot of great memories from that. I also happen to have 2 aunts who are Breast Cancer survivors. It is such a worthy cause to support and it was amazing to see how many people came out. We heard there was around 17,000 people! Way to go OKC!Not only was I proud to support a great cause, I was also proud that I was able to finish the 5K! Ha! We started running several months ago and set this race as our goal. I am by no means a "runner", so while 5K was probably nothing to alot of the people at the race, it was a big deal for me! I had only one goal, to finish without walking- and I did it! Now, we've found another 5K that is at the end of November. Maybe this time I will actually be able to set a time goal for myself. We shall see!
P.S.- It was pretty cool that we also got to show off some of our O-State pride with these cool "Cowboys for the Cure" shirts!
