I knew it!

I just knew the Sooners were going to stun everyone and win that bowl game last night!  Too many fans kept telling me to prepare for a loss but I didn't think that was fair, but I also knew Stoops had to bring this win home for his own reasons. It was a good game and all in all not a bad way to end the season.  I still feel like I need some sleep but those boxes won't unpack themselves!

Home sweet home!

After a very long odyssey back to Tulsa last night I am so glad to finally be home. My cats were told me all about it for a good hour after I got in the door last night. It should be an interesting day at work given that I've had no sleep really but a few hours I'm really looking forward to the weekend to catch up on some sleep!  Tonight the Oklahoma Sooners are playing in their bowl game tonight at 7:30 on ESPN don't forget to set your DVR!  Tonight I start to unpack and get this apartment back to its normal homey self no more living out of boxes so I'm really looking forward to that.  Two more days left and it's back to a bit of r & r, vacation from your vacation is often in order.

Day one of my 365 day book

I'm waking up in Helena for the last time for this vacation at least and I'll fall into bed sometime around 10:30 Oklahoma time tonight.  I will be so happy to see Sookie and Mr. Darcy and sleep in my very own comfy bed.  Montana is painfully beautiful, I actually got a little misty when I drove up to Great Falls for the night as the Missouri River winds its way through the canyon.  I will always be welcome here but I did what I came to do, celebrate the holidays and get closure on a relationship from another time.  I am no longer who I was and I am always trying to make sure to be better than I was the day before and am learning the lessons I can glean so hopefully I can move on from that and not have to learn that particular lesson again in the future.  I met Eric and Ali and I hope I never lose touch with them because they've touched my heart and life and I do really love them.  I said goodbye to an old friend and we part company in peace and understanding.  2013 was all about hard lessons and accepting situations for what they are, not how I wished they were at the time, and learning that I am grateful God says no to some of my prayers.  I am thankful  and grateful for my beautiful apartment an my cool job and the 5% raise that goes into affect today!  I have no idea what the future holds going into my 40th year of life or where I'll wake up on the dawn of 01/01/15, but I have faith and believe that it'll be one heck of a journey! Stick around it's just keeps getting better.

Staying home

In the last few hours of 2013 I've decided to stay in Oklahoma and enjoy the life I've built.  Happy New Year, Sam! 🎉

All my wishes
