O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

So I mentioned in my previous post that Dusty and I were going to Oklahoma to get a "new-to-me" car, and we did, but I cannot say it was uneventful.

Let me preface by saying that I had a horrible cough a few days prior to leaving for our trip, hoping that I would be better by Saturday morning - I wasn't. Regardless, we woke up at 6 a.m. on Saturday to be on the plane by 9:10, and barely made it. We flew an hour and a half to Oklahoma City, picked up a rental car, drove another hour to Marlow, Oklahoma to pick up my car, then drove in separate vehicles back to Oklahoma City to drop the rental back off, then another 20 minutes to Norman to our hotel. Exhausting.

But worth it. I love my new car, but even better is the fact that I was able to spend some time in Norman and catch up with my college roommates of three years, Summer and Lindsay. It has been more than four years since I graduated from OU, and I haven't made it back to Norman since.

We met at The Mont, a popular restaurant in Norman, for dinner, drinks and the game. I was quite disappointed that the Sooners lost the only game I watch in Norman in four years, but that's OK, it was so great being a room full of Sooner fans!

Sunday morning, we took off to drive 400+ miles back to Angleton in my new car. The car did great - I did not. I thought I would be fine leaving Piper with my parents for 36 hours, but I wasn't. I cried because I missed her so much, and we couldn't get home fast enough. Between the rain and the Houston traffic, my anxiety got the best of me and poor Dusty had to see me cry for about an hour. Not only that, by the end of the trip I had completely lost my voice due to my cough.

Other than that, it was a great trip!
