Scissortail Park South

by Miss MyLeave a Comment on Scissortail Park South

I randomly read on Reddit that Scissortail South had opened last week so Ben and I decided to pack up the little babe and check it out.

MAPS has done such AWESOME things for Oklahoma City, it’s kind of unreal.

I was very impressed with how clean the bathrooms were and the amenities surrounding the trails and practice pitch.

Ben, being a football ⚽️ fanatic, was elated when we found the practice field to park by. Luckily we had packed Tove’s mini ball with us… what are the odds.

Tove and I got to enjoy a nature walk with this beautiful scenery.

We thought about walking across the Skybridge to the north side of the park, but fall hasn’t quite arrived yet.

So we opted for air conditioning and drove over to *you guessed it* social capital.

Double date

by Miss MyLeave a Comment on Double date

Two weekends ago Ben and I went out with Sierra and Quez for drinks. We don’t get out much.. bet you can’t guess where we went 😅 (hint) Of course Tove was equally as sociable.

Sierra and I met through work and I’m so happy she’s become one of my best friends. I’ve learned patience from her and I envy her ability to keep her thoughts to herself.

It’s a bummer we won’t be working together after next week but I’m super excited for all the future get togethers we will have!

Ben was in full dad mode at Social Capital wearing Tove and dancing for her smiles. Although it was windy the weather was good enough to sit outside in December 😱

Just Thought You Should Know

by Miss My4 Comments on Just Thought You Should Know

Last night when Ben got off work we all got ready to head out for dinner. I had texted him social capital…? when he was on his way home.

We ordered our usual chicken nachos, Ben also got a fajita chicken taco but the elotes…. WOW I could eat that all day every day.

I told him when we were sat on the patio enjoying our food that it reminded me of our dates we used to have when we first met.

The thing is though, last night was so much better than the early dates. We had Tove with us, Ben drank a Topo Chico since he was driving and I had one canned wine (which got me tipsy 🤪) and we were so much more content. I didn’t feel the NEED to drink more or stay out later because I had everything that matters to me.

I’m so proud of Ben as a father and thankful he’s my partner in all of this. We’ve been through a lot together that’s tested our relationship but never once has he given me a reason to doubt his commitment to me and now us. I love you so much babe and I’m honored to give you the chance to create the most special daddy-daughter bond. I love my dad more than words can say and I just know in my heart that Tove is going to feel the same way about you. Thank you for making us feel loved and for rolling with the punches… quite literally when Tove gets at ya 😛

Exploring Downtown OKC

by Miss MyLeave a Comment on Exploring Downtown OKC

When my parents came to visit we took advantage of the good weather and explored some of what Oklahoma City has to offer downtown.

Are you even in OKC if you don’t get at least a few shots with Devon Tower?!

We got some Lime scooters and decided to scoot our way around a bit. I was a little apprehensive at first, being pregnant and all, but honestly felt very safe and the new parameters they’ve set up around different areas meant we couldn’t go above 5mph in some areas. We also took advantage of the bike lanes in OKC to stay out of traffics way.

We scooted by Scissortail Park and then saw Scissortail bridge as well from one of the overpasses! Before making our way through Midtown and ending up in Bricktown.

Ben snagged this shot of me outside the Exhibit C Gallery in Bricktown. Oklahoma City was recently voted best in the country for their public art and I for one can’t wait to explore and see more.

At one point we decided to pause riding and walk the Bricktown canal. It’s reminiscent of the riverwalk in San Antonio and I love walking along the water every time we go downtown here in Oklahoma City.

My parents were staying at a hotel just on the other side of the railroad from Bricktown. I love that the underpasses to get to/from Bricktown are even artsy.

Next up is a visit to the Plaza walls…

Social Capital

by Miss My2 Comments on Social Capital

I haven’t had too many opportunities to explore OKC yet but I will say my favorite patio bar so far has got to be Social Capital across from Scissortail Park. If you enjoy craft beer or great views then this place is a must visit!

My mom and I discovered Rose Wine Water on one of her first visits to OKC, and now it’s a must have. It’s a rose wine mixed with water and it’s refreshing as heck! Ben and I abstained from drinking, le duh for me, but we sure did drink up the atmosphere.


Now that the weather is getting warmer it feels even better to be able to enjoy being outside, even it’s still windy in OKC all the time. Plus those views of Devon Tower are GORGEOUS as the sun begins to set.

Social Capital has two levels, the inside downstairs is a bit too loud for my liking but if you want food- that’s where it’s at. Their nachos always go down a treat. There’s plenty of seating downstairs outside; I feel like that’s where most families tend to stay.

Then there’s the rooftop patio bar, me likey! It has a gorgeous view of Scissortail Park, which is literally one of my favorite parts of OKC. Bonus- there’s a dog park at Scissortail Park as well if you need to tire out your pup before visiting Social Capital.
