Lesson's learned after a week in the country!

I have officially lived out in the country for a week! Let me tell you, things will never be the way they were as long as we live out here! Turns out you can take the girl out of the city...but it's a bit harder to get the city out of the girl!!

So here is what I have learned in the past week:

• Flip Flops are a shoe of the past. There are so many stickers and strange plants out here that it is unwise to wear flip flops when walking around outside! I will now have to be one of those people that have specific shoes to walk around our property in that stay outside.
• I'll be there in a little bit really means I'll be there in 30-45 minutes depending on what part of town I am coming from and if I leave right now! LOL! 
• We refer to Edmond as "in town" now.
• Fast food. There is no such thing as FAST food. When I pick up dinner on my way home it is luke warm at best by the time I arrive at our table! A week ago I could go to any restaurant in Edmond and be back home with piping hot dinner in 10 minutes! 
• A sparkling clean mustang is no more. I have all kinds of weird dead bugs on my windshield. My pretty little mustang sticks out like a sore thumb driving down these roads! 
• The sound of guns being fired is as common as the sound of the train in Edmond! Lord help me during gun season!
• While well water will most likely not run out...I still wonder about it when I fill up the bath tub! 
• When planting tulips one must deal with mating grasshoppers and strange little lizards! 
• I can tell people to literally drive to the where the pavement turns to a dirt road and turn right!
• My drive to and from home is marked by strange landmarks that signify to me how close or far I am to my destination. For example: random restaurant, tree bridge, red beacon of light, don't drive fast through that town, random historical marker, turn at the church...

I am sure there are more things that I can't recall at the moment, but you get the idea! I think my mom was the one to compare this situation to the couple in Green Acres! LOL! Don't worry! I am adjusting and I LOVE our house and our sweet neighbors dog that thinks he is ours! I love it out here so much that its hard to leave in the morning because I want to stay here and hang out! 

TJ is in the middle of tearing up our floors and putting in new  ones! As soon as he is done I am going to make a video tour of our house, since we live so far out that no one will ever come visit us! LOL! 

Until next time,
