About me

Location Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
Introduction Jacob and I moved to Chicago in June 2007 and were married in Tulsa in October of 2007. We thought we'd love Chicago (everyone does, right?) but not so much. We missed our family and friends back home and did not care for the high cost of living. We created the blog to help us stay in touch with friends and family while in Chicago. However, we decided that it would be better for us in the long run if we moved back to Tulsa -- and we did in June 2008. Things have been going really well ever since and we look forward to what the future brings.
