What a difference a few weeks make.

It is Monday. It is morning. I am tired.

It stormed last night from about 11:00 till this morning. Saturday was 72 degrees and we spent the whole day outside doing whatever we could to be outside! Today, it is now 34 degrees and is sleeting, mixed with snow. It is cold and windy and about 2-4 inches of accumulation is expected by morning. (I bought flowers to plant Saturday....I guess I will wait)

Over the past few weeks, we have become more settled and feel more like Tulsa is becoming our home (away from home!!).

I have had a couple nice mom's approach me and they have set up "social outings" for me. At a lunch last week, I met with 5 other mom's from the school, all mom's were just so kind. One thing we all decided together was we wanted a book group so Viola! I was excited to hear that. We will have our first gathering March 31st!!!

Another Mom was kind enough to ask if we could have an ice cream social (today after school weather permitting). It will be a social for Campbell, Addison and another new family with a first grader and pre-k child to get to know some other families at Jenks SE (school). I just hope the snow does not stop this....if so, we will make it work later!

I was able to help in the Valentine parties and worked at the book fair last week. At both, I was able to meet more mom's. It is just such a relief. I was wondering if I would ever make a friend. I even have a coffee date Wednesday!! Moving right along!!

Now, many of you who read this (if anyone actually does) may think....why is she so worried about meeting people. Well, you try moving to a city (or another state)where you know your children, husband and husbands co-workers....oh and my darling realtor! That is a tough one. Not to mention we have no church home or community group or major hobby. I need to learn tennis because EVERYONE here plays! OK, that won't happen soon! I know some of you have done this and have been pregnant or with new born children while doing this...but it is tough!!!

Now for more good news. Kipper likes his job alot!! YEAH! He is really feeling it was a great move for his career and for his ego, men are so into the ego part of things. He is receiving the overdue respect he deserves. I am so proud of him! He is traveling some and that has not been a problem. Well this Friday it will be because he goes to the Rio Grande Valley for a hearing at 2:30 FRIDAY! He will return at 11:30 at night!! YUCK FOR HIM!

We are about to begin our visitor month! We are excited!!!

This coming weekend to help me celebrate my birthday, Kelly & the kiddo's will visit! Next week is Jeanne, she has a new client here!!!!! Then spring break we will keep totally busy with the Dickinsons and Hardins! Then April 4-6 Priscilla and Jeanne will visit!!!! YEAH! YEAH! WHo will be next? Mom, Dana, Jen, or maybe YOU?????????

We are frantically planning our summer. Addison wishes to return to Camp Capers....she is on the cover of their brochure by the way, with Laura and Cami!!! Front and Center!! Then we are still trying to see if we can make it to the beach, Leakey or just to SA to visit family and friends. Too much to do and too many folks to see! We do want visitors in the summer too. We hope to visit the Ozarks or an area lake cabin during the summer too.

OK, I will be updating photos this week. I will add more snow photos if we have some and will add visitor photos too. I hope you are all well....I want to hear from everyone!

OK, it is now snowing, blowing snow and BIG flakes!! 10:00am Monday March 4th, that is WEIRD!!! I imagine you in San Antonio have the AC on!!!

Love and missing EVERYONE!

GO SPURS!
