1 Year!

Ok peeps it has officially been one year since I've moved to Tulsa, OK! Oh boy let me tell you what a roller coaster ride it has been too. I'll start from the beginning....most people know why I moved up here in the first place so I won't go into detail about that. My move was somewhat ok, but then again what move is perfect. The first time I walked into my new apartment, boy was I disappointed, but hey it was going to work for the time I found it and needed it. We somewhat had to rush to get me all unloaded cause my boyfriend at the time needed to get to his grandparents 50th wedding anniversary party. He made it and the weekend was good. First day of work was kind of a blur to me. I arrived during audit week which is BORING!! I sat there for almost the entire week doing nothing but was hopeful that it would change. November went by great and December came. It was my boyfriends birthday, major ice storm of the Tulsa area, Christmas, and for some reason I remember our first huge fight. Why I logged that in a calendar is beyond me. The ice storm was very interesting, didn't even know it was happening until I got a text from my boyfriend asking if I electricity. Ha- then I went outside for work and WOW! I even remember my Wells Fargo account getting hacked into. Yea some wrote a $3,000 check in my account. First of all I didn't even have that much money in there in first place. So I got all that worked out and changed banks. Christmas came and was good then New Years. On January 1, 2008 I FINALLY got my FIRST kiss at midnight. Yea I know 25 years old and I finally got a kiss at midnight. I can still remember the kiss too. I have no words to describe it either except it was perfect. So anyways, January came and I was getting involved in things at work. I signed up for a Boot Camp and to do the Martin Luther King parade for DTAG. I also was got assigned for the "fun committee" at work too. I got in a car accident at the end of January. Some retard one morning was driving way too close to me in the rain/snow and hit me from behind. GREAT! My car got fixed so that is all that matters. February- nothing special at all except maybe Valentine's Day and the start of lent in which I can say I gave up chocolate for lent. Was that ever hard! Ahh but here comes March, what a not so good month that was. This is the month that my boyfriend broke up with me. Yes it felt like my whole world fell apart that one night. My heart got ripped out, thrown on the ground, and stomped on several times. I wanted to leave and just not be in Oklahoma anymore, but I knew that couldn't happen. Luckily Stefanie was coming up that weekend and I knew she could cheer me up. We had a good weekend together, drove to OKC for a wedding and just hung out. I went home for Easter and was just trying to figure out what I was going to do. April was better than March. I went to my first Dive Bar night with friends, went to a wine party, did the American Heart Association Walk, went to a baby shower in TX and had a girls night out with my girlfriends from TX. Deep breath....ok relax now. Yes a very busy month for me. May is here! It was my friend Lisa's birthday and we all went to the place called Caravan. Love the place! I even started going to this place called Bobbisox. Ah yes Bobbisox, a bar/karaoke place inside a motel. We, my friends, just love the place. You can meet some many interesting people at places like this. I was going apartment shopping cause I hated the place I lived and looking for new furniture cause I hated mine. I was finally enjoying myself again, new friends and staying busy. I even had my first date after my boyfriend had broken up with me. Umm...let just say that it was 1 date and I've never heard back from the guy, but I was totally ok with that. The reason being is because I had been talking to my boyfriend that I had back in 7th grade. We started talking at the beginning of April just basically talking about what we had been doing, our relationships, work, stuff like that. Then at the end of May I confessed to him that I think I was starting to have feelings for him, even though he lived in Colorado. Well he said the same thing. Funny enough we kept talking and he told me that he wanted to come out to Tulsa to see me. Well I told him "you'll have to wait till I move into my new apartment." He booked a flight out to see me in June. June was a good month as well. I moved into my new apartment which I love! So the guy from Colorado came to visit the weekend after I moved in. We hadn't seen each other in over 12 years!! The weekend was great! Didn't feel weird, awkward or anything. Then what do you know July came and he came again! This time it was for the 4th of July weekend. So we got to spend a little bit longer with each other that weekend. I went to my Red River Drum and Auxiliary camp again. Not as hot as it was the year before, which was good, but still a very long week. I came back to work and what do you know, I get a promotion!! I was finally going to get a little bit more money and start doing things I enjoyed doing. I'm basically do things I went to college to do. Business with computers, what I wanted! I love what I'm doing right now and love learning new things. So the end of July I thought I was finally doing alright. Ahh then comes the best month of the year AUGUST!!! Yes it is the month of my birth but still it's an awesome month. I did finally get to go out to CO for a visit this month too. Even though it rained the entire time I was out there, I had a GREAT time. My birthday rolled around and yet another year old. My dad came up to visit me. Now here comes September another not so good month except the fact that football was starting. The guy that had visited me twice and I had just gone to see in Colorado all of a sudden just stopped talking to me. Don't know why and still don't know why. After 3 phone calls and some text messages I gave up. He lost out on a great girl as I say and other people say that too. I'd like to know why some guy I had huge feelings for just stops right out talking to you. I mean not even a phone call, text message, e-mail nothing! I've moved on and I'm not going to worry about it. I guess it wasn't meant to be. He's with someone now and as long as he's happy. But the month of football though!! Love it thanks to my ex-boyfriend! I know HAVE to watch every single Dallas Cowboy game. Even though they aren't doing to swift right now I don't care. Then of coarse there is my Texas Longhorns who I can now say beat OU!!!!!!!! HOOK'EM HORNS!! (it was in October but I just had to mention it early) Since it is September it is the month of fall and I love fall. Cooler weather, leaves changing, and just plain right out great. So since it is nicer weather I decided to start walking out at a park here in Tulsa with a friend. I forgot how much I enjoyed walking outside with a friend. I use to do that right after Lauren died to just get out of the house. It helped with all the emotions I was going through and it's a nice good workout. I also did another walk too. The Breast Cancer Walk which is a GREAT cause! At the end of September my friend Heather had a beautiful baby girl. I forgot to mention that at the beginning of the year but it was interesting to actually watch one of your friends go through pregnancy. I've learned a lot about pregnancy! Now the month of October....ahh...the scary month of Halloween. This month I got a Henna tattoo!! No it is not permanent but it did look pretty cool though. I went to my friend Brian's band gigs and got hit on by ugly older men. Went to Fishbonz or as we call it "douchebonz" and every experience there keeps getting better and better. I know look at going there as an exciting time. I use to hate that place but I won't go into details why. I finally went to an Oktoberfest and wore my Texas Longhorn shirt. I've never got as much attention for wearing a Texas shirt EVER before. Some good things out of people's mouths and some not so good. But I don't care, I'm going to wear those colors proudly! I also got in a minor accident with my car. So I seriously wasn't paying attention and hit the gate at my apartment complex. Totally ripped off my the right side of my mirror and bent the front fender, major scratches too. Go me!! I went to SOSU Homecoming and saw lots of old friends and even saw my ex from college! It was good, a little weird at first but good though. It was good to see him and all his friends. I've got to say that the next week was a very rough one. We had a huge layoff at Headquarter were I work. It happen on the last Thursday of the month, the day before Halloween to be exact. At 3:45 PM I found out that one of my close co-workers was getting laid off. I was shocked!! I cried and was just so mad that they had done that to her. But there is nothing I can do about it though. A bunch of people from work and my friends had a Happy Hour after work that day. That was a VERY interesting evening. We came up with a fun beer game though at McNellies! I don't remember how I got home that night but I did! So onto Halloween!! I went to a haunted ride out in Skiatook. It was very fun and wasn't that scary for me. The first day of November was my friend Jen's Halloween party at her and her husband Brian's house. They made a haunted house in their garage! It was very cool! I went as a cheerleader too! Somehow I fit into my sophomore high school cheerleader uniform! (Go see my pics) Oh yea, I was happy! Then the next week was election week. I'm not too happy about who was elected to president but I'm looking forward to see what he will do in the next 4 years. Now I'm at a year and as I look back, it just shocks me to think that it's already been a year. I've had tears of pain and sadness. I've made new friends and I'm loving my job. To all my 918 group, you guys are the reason I don't want to leave this place. You've been there for me and have made me enjoy my life up here. I haven't forgotten all my Texas friends either now. I miss you guys completely and sometimes wish I could be in two places at once. I have to add one more thank you in here too. Don't be shocked people but I've got to say thank you to the person who brought me up here in the first place. (Tim) Even though we didn't work out, I wouldn't trade this past year for anything. I don't regret a single thing about moving up here. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what my life would be like. There was a reason that God wanted me to come up here. So thanks from the bottom of my heart. I'm going to end this long blog with my new favorite song right now. Nickelback-Gotta Be Somebody.........









This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just done enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know the night alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like déja vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end?
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know the night alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
You can't give up, (when looking for) a diamond did erupts?? (you will never know)
The wind shows up, (make sure you're holding on)
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh
Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know the night alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Blogging

So I've been meanig to write in my many blogs that I have but just haven't. Lots of things have gone on since I've written in this one. I won't go the Reader's Digest version or into the whole long story of what I've been doing since 2006. Let's just say I now live in Tulsa, OK and I'm enjoying my life. Not married, no kids, still single and having fun with my new friends up here. Enjoying my job as well, hopefully I can advance more up here than I would have in Texas. I'll try to write more on here if I remember, but I'm not holding my breathe. I know I'll be writing one in November cause it will be a year since I've moved up here. It will be a very interesting blog. Till then I'm out, lata!
