Refreshing for the Soul

Oklahoma is good to me. Let me count the ways:

1. Family. It's really nice having them nearby. 
2. Friends. So many sweet reunions this week, makes me understand why it's important to maintain relationships with the people you care about.
3. Food. Okay, so this may not be so good FOR me as it is TO me. Better Mexican food, BBQ, Panera Bread...the list could go on. BRAUMS. How could I forget that one?
4. Church. I absolutely love the singles branch I attend. Every time I go to church or an activity, I feel the love and goodness of my fellow friends. They just assume the best of you, and that's that.

I don't know why this place is so special, but there's definitely a reason why I'm here in Oklahoma. And my heart aches, knowing that I will have to leave it again in August. I do love Utah too, but it ain't the same. (Pardon my Okie)

An update on life: I work at the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits as a marketing intern. For free. It has its good and bad days. But I'm learning a lot, and getting a better understanding of what I want to do for a career.

There's no boy in my life. (But that's not really an update)

Also, I realized something about myself today. I am a firm believer in doing what you love, and loving what you do. After listening to a few of my friends talk about their situations with work and life, I couldn't understand why they wouldn't do something to change their situation so that they will be happier. I know you gotta do what you gotta do to survive...but it's all about initiative and perseverance. To me, anyway.

My apologies for this post being rather blah...I'll be more exciting next time. Promise.
