No one on the East Coast understands OU football

This past weekend we were so lucky to be able to travel to New York City to visit some of our friends from college. It was fun because we were watching the OU game together. Our friend Mitch thought it would be fun to have a "No one on the east coast understands...OU watch party" and our friend Mindy was gracious enough to host it at her apartment. It was special because we hadn't seen each other in probably six years! I feel very old saying that I have good friends that I haven't seen in six years.
It was so wonderful to catch up where we left off and to see how different and at the same time very much the same we all were. We obviously have very different views of the world since we left our small private liberal arts bubble to see the world. And yet, deep down we are still the same people. That is comforting to me. It was nice to have a taste of home when we are so far away! I hope to get to cultivate these relationships more while we are here!
