First Week

Well, here we are in Tulsa. It's been 5 days already and so far things have been great. Tulsa is (or can be) a much hipper town than I thought...it's all in where you go in town. The move was interesting to say the least and I will expound on this later, but until then you can check out some pics of the move by clicking the link to the right.

Heather and I are holding together well, but are having a fun time learning a new city.

Several key things we've learned in the small time we've been here:

• We don't know our directions (i.e. North, South, East and West) as well as we thought
• We realize how important it is to greet people who have just moved in, and we have not met any of our neighbors.
• We are realizing exactly how important community is. As we sat at dinner the other night, we saw many couples and friends hanging out, laughing, talking...we both looked at each other with that feeling that we just wanted someone to talk to. (Thanks to all of you who have called, sent texts or emailed us...it's kept us going, and we miss you all a ton).

We still have a lot to learn, a lot to explore, and a lot to get used to, but all in all I think Tulsa is a great town. We have a great house with a great guest bedroom (hint hint) and we are ready for any of you to come visit soon. It's getting late, and I must turn in for my first day at work tomorrow, but check back soon for more updates.
