That was cute, Jess, and thanks, everyone.

I agree, Colleen has earned the title of Okie for bravely getting back on a horse, then going home and starting to pack! I hope your wrist is not really fractured.

I'm not into car racing, but that song is the best version of all that I've heard.

Thanks, y'all. (or is it all y'all?) Anyway, I'm honored to have earned the "Okie" title. Even with the horse tumble, it was fun.

Hi Colleen,

I'm glad you were able to realize your Okie dream.
Would you care to share all your impressions in detail?
Especially regarding comparisons to the cities you've been to.
I'd like to hear an Easterner's point of view.

Also, how's the wrist cowgirl?

Painful.

Impressions: Having spent several years in western states in the past, a lot of it was familiar to me and DH. I can give you Anna's impressions because it was new to her since she was a baby when we lived in Colorado. It's flat. A lot more "brown" than "green" like you see in the east. Towns are very spread out, and when you drive around you can see a LOT of sky. The highways are much wider, and I found everyone pretty much stuck to the speed limit. However, on Kilpatrick Turnpike the speed limit is 70, which I've never seen here in the east.

A LOT of sun. My lips were chapped the entire time from the constant exposure to the sun. You definitely need sunglasses and/or some type of hat. People are extremely helpful and friendly. You can "feel" the content in the air. The atmosphere is one of "I'm happy with what I have, I don't dwell on what I don't have." Lots of churches. Very low stress level. Even in the cities you don't get that sense of "hurry up -- get out of my way"

There's also something nebulous that is hard to define, but you can feel it. Actually, it's more that you feel the absence of what you feel on the east coast (discontent, agitation, self-absorption).

Since it's the center of the country, sort of a crossroads, you see a lot of trucks on the highways. All in all, we were very happy with our impressions, and even noticed a difference in "noise" from the Oklahoma airport to the Minneapolis airport and definitely the Philadelphia airport (the three airports we hit on our way home). Not airplane noise, but general noise, kind of like buzzing bees.

I would say based on the posts you made here that you would be happy there. If your wife and kids are open-minded and flexible, and adventurous, they would do well too. Anna took some adjustment the first couple of days but left OK very happy with our pending move.

On the noise topic, I can remember coming home from CA once when I was 14 or so. My parents road was flooded out, so we had to spend the night at my aunts.

It was so quiet, my senses were not used to it. We all joked about it, that someone needs to go out and honk the horn a few times. I mean it was eery quiet.

That is because when you live in Los Angeles, you get used to hearing the drone of 30 million people.

Even now, when I get up and go outside at about 9 or 10, I am always awe struck by the night stars and the vastness of our night sky. You can't see stars in L.A., or very few stars.

There are still stars up there? I thought they all disappeared when I moved to DFW 18 years ago.
