We are here we are here WE ARE HERE!!

Arrived in Elk City Ok around 5:30 last night. We were welcomed by rain and 55° temps. This town has given off a "industrial oil town meets farm town" vibe, kinda an odd mix, but so far the "indigionous people" (as billy calls them) are very pleasant & friendly. Today is rainy and potential thunderstorms :D soooo excited! I looove this kind of weather!! Coats, scarves, boots, gloves! Yeah this is gonna be good!
Pics of the town to follow soon!

We are finally off!

After a wonderful going away party and seeing everyone for the last time on thursday. My mom convinced us to stay just one more day, even though none of us wanted the day to be over it is and we are all loaded up in our over-packed ford taurus and hitting the road! Its hard to say goodbye but good to grow and have adventures in life. We thank God that we will all be close in spirit and that loved ones are never far from our hearts and thought. We LOVE you all sooooo much and miss you!

Miss you Momma!

Oklahoma, ready or not here we come!

Only two more weeks till my husband Billy finishes his training for his new job! Only one week of work remaining for me until i am officially a housewife/stay at home mom, a dream i have longed for since childhood and now its really happening. Life changes so quickly now i truly am understanding why its important to be content with your current position in life instead of the common mistake of looking to the "next stage of life" to start. If we are always looking to what we want next and obsessing over it we totally loose the enjoyment of what we have now and will one day no longer have. As I think about moving away from home in just two short weeks I am shocked at how strange and unreal it is to be leaving. I have lived here all my life, had the same best friend since I was 10, both mine and my husbands families are here, and I must admit I never honestly saw us leaving (even though my hubby has brought it up numerous times). And now here I am a city girl since birth about to move from a city of 95,000 people to one of 11,000 total residents with hardly any place to shop unless i want to drive 2hours to the "big city" gosh just saying that seems weird. The "city" has always been my home, the only life I knew, I never thought of it as big or a place to intimidate someone from a small town. And I bet those "small town" folks never thought their town was small only that my city was large! haha and I'm down right terrified of this dinky city that will soon be my home. Obviously it has nothing to do with size and everything to do with the unfamiliar when it comes to intimidation!
OKLAHOMA HERE WE COME!
