Our vacation is officially over...

That's right, I'm now working as the Communications Specialist for the Tulsa County Assessor's office and Blake has started classes. So far I think I'm going to like my job, but I think it may take awhile to become immersed in the work. There's a lot to learn before they'll let me in front of people:) Everyone is friendly, but it's a different environment from what I'm used to having. At KY3 I had a couple of kindred spirits in my coworkers Kristy and Tricia, and of course Fitzgerald First and ADsmith were more like family than coworkers. I realized today that I miss Springfield. I miss all those people that made it home for 5 years, and I feel like I'm starting over here. There's a lot of potential, but I'm not known for my patience.

There are a lot of things here to like. The library system is fantastic and the main branch is right next to my office. Our neighbors are nice, and I still love our house. We have a great seafood market that I'm pretty much in love with, and there's a lot of opportunities for "culture". We have a ballet and museums, and a zoo and aquarium- as soon as I start making some money I'll check some of them out.

Blake has a few days of classes under his belt, and as I type he is in his office, studying away. He came home last night and made flash cards, and he already has a study group that plans to meet at least every Monday. I know the classes are going to be hard, but he's definitely got the right attitude and there's no doubt he has the ability to kick pharmacy school's butt! He's made a lot of new friends and I think h's pretty happy with his class.

Today I love: That the Tulsa Ballet tickets start at just $15!
