Exotic yet ordinary

So, here's the thing. I have never been to the state capitol. Shocking, I know. I mean, how is that someone who was born and raised in Oklahoma manages to escape childhood without a field trip to the state capitol?

This afternoon I accompanied Justin to Oklahoma City to attend the opening ceremony for Hidden Voices, Coded Words, an exhibit honoring the Choctaw and Comanche code talkers. On our way to the museum, I kind of let it slip that I hadn't set foot inside the state capitol. Really? (pause) Really? So after the ceremony (which made me cry) and a tour of the exhibit (check it out if you're in the OKC area) I was ushered over to the capitol for a quick peek under the dome before anyone else found out and threatened to rescind my state residency.
