We have been in Oklahoma for a week and a half now. Time here always goes by so fast. I was so relieved and in aww after Blake and King went fishing. I was relieved that King seemed to have gotten whatever was bothering him off his chest and I was in aww of my man. He is just as invested in my boys as he is in Addie and I. He went out of his way yet again to make sure King was ok and handling everything ok. My boys never had that bonding relationship with their father, so for him to take a special interest in spending time with each boy alone will forever make me emotional. All three boys are out with Blake in the woods "doing boy stuff" as they informed me when I said Addie and I would go to, so I decided to take this opportunity to spend some time with Addie shopping in the little shops downtown. I grab the keys to Blake's truck and we head out. Thankfully we have been to Tish enough that I know where everything is.
Addie and I pull up in downtown and park the truck. I get out and am struggling with the stroller to get it out and set up. While I'm in the process of trying to get it out a man walks up behind me...
"Excuse me 'mam can I get that out for you?"
I wip around to see an older man maybe my dads age offering to get the stroller out of the truck for me.
"Please that would be so rad, thank you"
"Rad huh? You wouldn't happen to be Blake's girl would ya?" He asked
"That's me." I say with a smile
"Well it's nice to finally meet ya. Any chance this stroller is for y'alls little one would it?"
"Yes it is. Hang on I'll go get her." I turn around to go get Addie out of her seat and bring her back for the man to see her.
"Well look at this little sweetheart. She has her daddies eyes!" He gushes
"Yes I was very lucky to get an angel with her daddies eyes and dimples." I answer
"Well how rude of me. I'm Chuck by the way, my wife Viv owns the little shop down on the left. Make sure to stop in and say hi. She will have my hide if I got to meet ya and she didn't."
"I'm Gwen and this is Adelaide. We will make sure we go say hi." I smile
"Alright well I'll leave you to your adventures. Nice to meet you. See you again sometime?"
"Yes most definitely. Nice to meet you as well!" I wave as the man waves heading down the sidewalk.
We make our way through the little shops buying anything we see we like. Nothing like supporting the small town venders. That added to the fact that everything is one of a kind and no one in LA will have anything like it. We come up to a little shop full of baby dresses. I head in already in love and realize this is miss Viv's shop.
"Hello welcome. Can I help you find anything?"
"We are just gonna look around thank you. You wouldn't happen to be Miss Viv would you?" I ask a little shyly
"That's me. Who's asking?"
"I'm Gwen I met your husband Chuck, he told me I had to come in and say hi or he would be in trouble." I say but I see the look of confusion on her face.
"I'm Blake's fiancé and this here is Adelaide his daughter." I answer her before she has the chance to ask
"Well Lord have mercy!!! Finally! Come here and give me a hug!" The woman lights up
I giggle at how open and friendly people are here, nothing like LA.
"Blake has talked about you so much and every time y'all are here he hogs you up! Look at this angel too. Holy cow she is just the prettiest little thing I have ever seen."
