Our GRAND AdVEntURe to OKLAHOMA CITY OKLAHOMA!

We drove 1200 miles in two days! What an adventure! We feel so blessed that Mike made it into the FAA Air Traffic Control Academy here in OK City and the timing was great! We were so thankful that it happened right after the holidays! After much thought and prayer we decided that I would quit my job at Heartland Paper and embark on this adventure together! We arrived in Oklahoma City on Friday night around 9:30pm and stayed at the Best Western hotel. We got into our apartment Saturday morning! We LOVE our apartment! It is a one bedroom place, with a TON of storage...not that we need storage...since we didnt bring much...but its great! Our place was not furnished, so we lived without furniture for three days and without cable and internet for three days! Lets just say it was a LONG three days! I am so grateful to now have a couch, a bed and a kitchen table...plus cable and internet! You dont realize how nice it is to have all of those things until you dont have them!

Mike started his academy training on Tuesday January 13th! It was a long day for him, lots of paperwork and jumping through the hoops, but overall he enjoyed it! I am so grateful that he is willing to work so hard for our little family! He LOVES air traffic control and airplanes! I am blessed that he found a career that makes him happy and that he can enjoy doing on a daily basis. Although the moving has been difficult at times, first moving to Alaska and now to Oklahoma City...we feel so blessed and have enjoyed some amazing experiences together!


As for me....I am not working while here in OK City! I am taking advantage of this time to enjoy my hobbies, such as reading, scrapbooking, crafting, blogging, watching movies, working out and enjoying each and every day! Here are a few pictures of our adventure driving to Oklahoma City! Hope you all enjoy!
