| Since the last reunion there have been a few changes in my life. I am now single after being married for 25 years, should have happened a LONG time ago...I finally mustered the guts to make the big decision. I must admit I've never been happier and I am really enjoying my new life. I'm still living in Oklahoma City, I love it here, lots to do and Mom and my two oldest brothers live within two miles of me. I just purchased my first boat, so I will be spending a lot of time at the lake this summer, something I've always loved doing, but haven't had the option until now. I have also been doing a lot of traveling, all here in the good old USA! I've seen so much of the world in my life, something I never thought would happen. I think most people from our class know I lived in Europe for 14 years, but now that I'm back on home soil I'm not going anywhere that I can't drive to in my Yukon! I am also getting ready to start yet another career, I'm going to do land research for oil and gas companies. I will be traveling all over the state, as well as Kansas and Texas going to county courthouses to do the research. I'm looking forward to reunion and catching up with everyone. I have all of the Collars from our senior year and I'll bring those with me, we should get some GREAT laughs from those! |
