If there is one quote that explains me it is, "I wasn't born in Oklahoma but I got there as fast as I could!"
I was born in Utah but at about a year old my parents moved us to Norman, Oklahoma. For awhile I only wanted to get out of Oklahoma. I wanted to move to Wyoming or Tennessee or anywhere but the Sooner State. I have since learned that I love Oklahoma and wouldn't mind if I stayed there for the entirety of my life!
As I have been here in Maryland, I have missed a few things about Oklahoma....
1. Cows! - as weird as it seems I absolutely miss seeing cows everyday. I didn't realize how many cows actually live in Oklahoma and just how comforting it is for me to seem them.
2. Country Music - I am still listening to Tim McGraw and George Strait while I am out here but the people I am with don't always appreciate my music choices.
3. Rodeos - I haven't been to a rodeo in over a year and I miss them so much! I miss the dirt, the smell of animals, the bull riding, and everything else that comes with going to a rodeo!
4. White Gravy - I cannot explain to you how much I miss white/cream/country gravy. I usually eat chicken, fries, biscuits, mashed potatoes, and just about everything else with country gravy but they only serve brown gravy over here.
5. Football - obviously there is football everywhere but I definitely feel like Oklahomans make a very big deal about their football. I miss hearing about two-a-days and counting down the weekends until football season is here! (P.S. When Bob Stoops retired no one even knew who he was!)
I have had a great time here in Maryland and I am so grateful for this opportunity but Oklahoma will always be home and I will always miss it when I am gone. I am half way done with this internship and in five short weeks I will be back on red dirt where I belong!
