When Brent and I first moved from California to Oklahoma we lived with my parents for several months. During that time we helped them update a two-story building that my family had owned for many years. It was a former bank building, First National in Seminole, Oklahoma. The bottom floor is used as commercial leasing space, read all about it here. The second floor was previously used as offices for lawyers and oil companies as professional office space.

The “Bank Building” as we like to call it is located on the corner of Main Street and Broadway in Seminole, Oklahoma. A small town by many standards but great in heart, high school football and Oklahoma spirit.
The building was originally built to be a bank, First National, years later it held art council events. It has since housed a bakery, flower shop, hair salon, clothing boutique, and various other retail shops and offices. The upstairs held law offices and most recently an apartment style living space.
This building has been in my family for many years. We acquired it after it was no longer a working bank. I was a child at the time and I remember going upstairs with my siblings to the “offices” shortly after it was purchased and playing with the old bank paperwork pretending to be a teller.

School is in session! (virtual from home)
We’ve jumped fully into video Teams meetings, submissions of Schoology assignments and emails galore. I am extremely grateful for the amazing teachers that work tirelessly. I know they’ve had to learn new platforms, methods, and curriculum to educate our children from a distance. Their creativity, patience and enthusiasm help me to feel as if this will all be okay. I see my kids are learning– really learning from a teacher on a computer screen and my heart swells with thankfulness that we live in a time in history where this is even possible.
