Lost

The other night we went out to eat in the great town of Choctaw, OK Little did I know what we were in for...
We drove through trees and countryside until we finally got to the restaurant wayyyy
Out there to find out we needed reservations so we are starved, out in the country with not even a 7-11 much less a restaurant so I did the most logical thing when one in lost....I called the Highway Patrol!!!
Since I work there I have many co-workers all over the state So we called one from Choctaw....
We were again directed up & down hills through countryside until we finally reached civilization & a nice Mexican restaurant...
Then we headed back home
What did I learn?
1- Choctaw is alot bigger than we thought
2- There is Beautiful country out there we need to get out of out area more
3- I love my Fellow OHP Officers always willing to help & recommend food
4- We have reservations for next week
So we get to do it again!!!

Lifestyle

Everyone has their own lifestyle...many are chosen by chance & circumstances...
At times we hate our lifestyles...Parents & Grandparents get stressed by the kids...children grow up & go to college & come home...it is a constant hubbub of stress and worry & envying the quiet lifestyles....But wait I am here to give the other side...Sometimes I think this is my purpose in life to say "Be Thankful for Children and Stress"
Our lifestyle is only two...no kids Birthday parties...no graduations...no college or weddings....
Going to church on Sundays & watching Families gather & them coming home by ourselves or going to restaurants by ourselves...traveling by ourselves, vacationing by ourselves...to many it looks GREAT but for us we lack the fun part of life...
And so we have to create our own Fun...I have a real sister whom never speaks to me so I have an Adopted Sister whom I love & loves me...she adds spice & excitement to my life...
I have a cousin whom I adore & a cousin on Mikes side we adore...
We have had to create our own family...
As kids grow up lifestyles change & so with us...as we get older our lifestyle changes & we realize our life is but a Fleeting Moment so LOVE your children, your husband, your family, your Lifestyle and don't envy Others!!! I am practicing this today!!
