Beginnings

Okay, so I am new to blogging, I will try and make sense, no promises though!!!  For starters, I married my hubby in 1982, lots of mishaps along the way, moved from Oklahoma City to Enid, Oklahoma in 1994, made lots of friends and things along the way!!  Forward to 2004, somehow managed to contract narcotizing faciitis along this time, spent 2 months in the hospital, was also diagnosed with type two diabetes, learned to deal with that...at least trying... Survived the passing of many friends and family....in late 2010, got a call from my mom and step dad to come move to Texas and help them out...got mom thru the death of my step dad and now are dealing with her West Nile virus, was very fortunate to meet a new friend, Susan and her hubby George,   and they have added their new four leg baby Dasher into their family.  Now Suze and her hubby had made a trip to Guatemala on a mission trip and came home with news that they wanted to sell their home and live in Guatemala for a couple of years before retiring somewhere.  Well, after six months on the market their home did not sell, then the bad news that the mission trip fell thru!!!

Well, smartie pants that I can be at times, said how sorry I was, but I had a idea, move to Oklahoma with me!  Suze's was like, let me think about it, the next day, she calls me and says, Enid would be a great spot for them to retire, now to convince George.  Well, after much discussion and thought, they have decided to give it a shot as they could and will be able to pay off a house and retire with this kind of a move.  By the way, George is a registered nurse, nurses are in great demand in Enid.

Needless to say, I thought it was a great decision!!!  We are now all together in the planning stages of moving 500 miles north.  I hope that they will enjoy Enid, and our great network of friends there as much as Garry and I will be to have them there.  We are busily searching the Internet for them a home there as well...Hopefully I can be on here to tell some good stories about all the future adventures to come!!!
