Since my return from my awesome trip to Oklahoma life has been a little crazy, hence no new posts. Here is my life as of now:
I started working sports camps which has been a lot of fun, and a ton of new experiences. I have spine boarded two kids a week apart. Kind of intense but a great learning curve. I am seeing a lot and it's fun to be back with little kids. I love them and can't wait until I can work at a high school.
Oh yeah. About the job situation. So after I got back, OU let me know that they had hired someone else. A bummer but I feel very at peace. I know that I am being led to the right job and that wasn't it. As much as I would have liked. I am hoping to find it soon. I still haven't heard back from UCO. I applied for another high school job this past week. Keep praying for me! :)
My family is still hanging in there. Jenny is doing better all the time. Jason and his girlfriend Amanda moved out to Utah last week and it is fun having him around again. Grandma and Grandpa are in a daily struggle. It's a fight to see who can hold on the longest. You gotta love my stubborn family.
I will be 22 in 9 days. But who is counting right? Um...ME!!!

The Saga Continues
Ok here is the continuation of my trip.
Tuesday afternoon Jason and I went driving around Oklahoma City and Edmond. We saw apartment complexes and scouted out areas to live. Then we drove to where we used to live in Edmond and saw the high school and where all the boys used to work (the site of the infamous car accident). Then we headed out to the OKC temple. It's a really small temple but really pretty. I, of course, took lots of pictures so check facebook this weekend for those. Tuesday night Jason and his girlfriend Amanda, Megan and I all went to this amazing mexican place called Ted's (also known as Cafe Escondido). It was delicious!
Today was an awesome day of site seeing for me while Megan and Jason were working. I drove Megan to work so I could have the car for the day. Yup, that's right. I drove from Norman to OKC and back 1 1/2 times without getting lost. Be impressed people! Anyways, I went and toured around the OU campus just for kicks. The campus is HUGE and SUPER beautiful. The thing that killed me was that every sports team has its own facility. Tennis teams = tennis building. Gymnastics team = gymnastics building. Ridiculous!
Megan and I went to a great little Bar and Grill in downtown OKC for lunch. Then I was off on my own again. I went to visit the Murrah Bombing Memorial. It was a sight to see. The museum was incredible. I was teary-eyed the entire time and it was hard to go back to being 7 years old but I remember it well. Lots of awesome pictures.
Next I wondered around downtown waiting for Megan to get off work. I saw some really cool looking building which I took pictures of. Duh. Then I drove to Bricktown. Super cool area of downtown that has a ballpark and cool shops.
Megan and I went to watch the Prince of Persia which was a good mix of intense action that had me literally jumping out of my seat and the very corny which had me laughing out loud. Then we went to dinner at an awesome BBQ place that just happened to be attached to a gas station and we ate on picnic tables. Gotta love the south! :)
Tomorrow is my interview and then I fly home. I am sad but I have packed as much fun into this trip as I possibly could so I am happy about that. Can't wait to see what happens!

OKLAHOMA!!
So I feel like I am home. Weird? Maybe a little. I am a really long ways from Utah but this feels so much like home. I keep driving past places and I don't have deja vu but I just remember them from a really long time ago. It's really cool. I am glad to be back.
I got to eat a sundae from Braums yesterday! :) YUM!! And I went shopping at Penn Square mall. We drove past our old Stake Center where my Dad was Bishop and the place where he used to work. I even got to go shopping at DOTS which is one of my favorite stores (don't ask me why, it's not even that great...)!! Then we capped off the night with a BBQ. What an awesome first day here.
Today was my first job interview. I love UCO. It's a D2 school but I feel good about it. The campus is pretty and the sports area is really nice, especially for that size of a school. I would love to work and go to school there. Everyone I met was really friendly and welcoming. I guess we will see in a few weeks if I will be a Bronco come Fall.
Thursday is my interview with OU! I am nervous. Wish me luck! More updates later. Right now I am starving...Love!
