Famous Last Words: Week 9

I wish I had posted one of these each week for the last three weeks because I have been SO busy doing so many things! 

Lets all rewind to OU/TX weekend. I know, I know, its painful but the good news is, I was not there! Therefore, I will not talk about it! That weekend I left Oklahoma Thursday morning and drove I-35 south to Houston, TX. Some of you may be wondering why I would spend my last OU/TX weekend as a student in Houston rather than Dallas. Well, the answer is very simple…I had to be a good girlfriend and go to a wedding with my boyfriend. Sounds like a lame excuse but hey, we all make sacrifices, right?

Then the following weekend I got right back on I-35., but this time I was headed north! Destination? Kansas City!
I made a deal with my boyfriend that since I missed the Red River Rivalry for him, he was going to need to come spend a weekend with me celebrating my niece’s 2nd birthday. I mean, what 21 year old guy doesn’t want to spend a weekend listening to a little girl yelling “Minnie Mouse” all day long.

And of course this weekend was homecoming. Who doesn’t love homecoming, right?
Well, this year hit me in a different way.
Being born and raised in Stillwater, I know how important homecoming is there. I spent many years as a child and even teen going to that parade. I even went up for a few homecoming celebrations since I have been in college. Hearing the news about the accident was terrifying. I had no idea if my family or friends were involved or injured or anything. It took a while to get a hold of everyone, but thankfully, everyone I knew was okay. The entire situation gave me a brand new perspective on life and how easily it can be changed.

I could get into a lot more detail but this is not a diary, it is blog for a class. I just ask that any of you who read this, please keep the friends and families of those involved in your thoughts and prayers. 

Thanks Ya'll!
