i just looked through a ton of my chicago pictures. all of them were me either coming from, going to, or at work, hanging out with oklahoma friends that were visiting, or traveling to oklahoma.

its funny how excited i was to move here and now all i can think about is how much i want to get back. I love Chicago, but i never thought about the impact of leaving my family and best friend.

I saw alot of cool things in Chicago, had an okay job with a fantastic manager and co worker were i actually liked working each day ( which is good because i worked 11 hour shifts) but also because they were so funny we would just laugh and joke and it made it not so miserable. I had about 4 good friends here. Its different to adjust to new people and what they like to do when your use to your friends and your usual routine. I saw alot of movies, alone, since no one was really a movie fanatic. ( Even stayed true to my midnight SAW tradition).

The more I lived here I realized I need to be in Oklahoma. That’s where all the people i love are and the people who truly care about me. My little sister is about to start highschool and I dont wanna be that absent sister that has to try to fly in for only the big occasions. I wanna be there for it all. I wanna be a small drive from my best friend who will drop whatever and come over just to go to wal mart with me because i dont feel like shopping alone, or go see 2 or 3 movies at the theatre back to back out of boredom. I wanna leave work on fridays and go camping with a car full of friends and come back sunday ready to start the new week. I cant do any of that here. So while this place was great, and a good growing experience, im very excited to say goodbye and get back to the things i love most.

See you Sunday, Oklahoma.
