I have decided that I am moving to Clear Creek mid to late January.
I hadn't told my parents that yet, but I guess I just did.
That will be interesting. Odd, really. I've been living with my aunt for a year and four months now, and with my grandparents for a month before that, so I'm sure moving *back* with my parents will take some adjusting.
It will be hard to leave OKC. I have so many family members and friends here.
Kelly and Mary are here--two of my sisters-19 and 18 years old.
My cousins are all here. Especially April and Marcy. I'm always seeing them!
My aunt Nancy, of course.
My grandparents.
And who could forget the Nolans? I'm at either Dan, Andrea and Shelley's house, or at their parents, two, three or four times a week.
This is going to be hard.
But I think it's worth it.
In Clear Creek I've got:
Dad.
Mom.
Beth.
Bryan.
John.
Becky.
Hunter.
Michelle.
Therese.
Nine reasons. All very good.
Then a few and a couple monks. That's always a plus.
And a few good Catholic families. All diverse and complete with their own extremely interesting stories.
And, on at of all of that, my family has 100 acres of land up there. Gorgeous, beautiful, hike-able land. Smack in the middle of Cherokee Indian country.
It will be good.

Well, that's the end of my life...
::shakes head and laughs:: Don't worry. The rest of my family and the Nolans will keep you plenty busy! :D
::raises one eyebrow and thinks for a while:: Hmmm....
Aaw! Little Lizzie's thinking!
What are you thinking?
Ummm... I'm not quite sure.
lol.
Mason--I said *all* of my cousins, but *especially* April and Marcy because I see them all of the time. So, yes, I will miss you too.
Silly Mason.
WHOA.....cowgirl....that was OSAGE Indian Country long before the white fathers took it away and gave it to those darn "civilzed" sell-outs the cheerokes......
What are you going to do for a job ?
jake
Was it, Jake? How cool! Didn't know that.
Did you know that the land the monastery is built on used to be Cherokee holy land?
Isn't that an odd coincidence?
Keep the one I have, Jake.
How's your wife doing?
Oh my gosh!! I can't believe you're really moving.
I'm going to miss you!
I know. It's weird to me, too.
But tomorrow night we maybe be able to plan a trip to Ireland together...we'll see!
:D Don't be sad. That will make *me* sad.
Well Traci,
We all envy you a bit...moving up to CC....I hope you find what your looking for..it still seems to me like the biggest limiting factor preventing people from moving up there is $$$$$ and jobs.....My better half (actually 3/4) is doing well and getting more and more pregnant each day...number 6 is 8 months away and number 7 is 28-30 months away....your Robinson/Nolan clans have us surrounded today...but we WILL OUTNUMBER YOU SOMEDAY...or we will die trying ......hahahahahahahah
jake
I am SO excited about our trip!!!
Important question for Tracy:
Tracy, Is Clear Creek to the east of where you are now?
Our trip to, Ireland.
We are going to have the BEST time of our lives!
Really?
I must be missing something!
What do you mean?
I’m just wondering if Ireland is that brilliant.
Surely, CC isn’t directly north? It must be even a little east or west?
Yes, John. Clear Creek is north-east of where I am now.
You are so smart.
Did you say 'brilliant'? ::laughs:: I thought only the English said that.
Ah, I thought so.
You are moving closer to Ireland.
Such a curious thing to say about the word “brilliant”.
Very American.
I don’t think it means anything different, no.
Unless it’s said sarcastically, of course.
Well of course when I'm in Ireland, it will be that brilliant!
And Tracy.
And Mary.
We know how to make EVERYTHING fun.
And it's always been my dream to go to Ireland, so it HAS to be fun.
There is nothing wrong with my car!!!
AND
No. Not every day.
Confusing?
Should be. I'm a confusing woman.
Ireland?
What's the matter John? Don't you LIKE living in Ireland? You should, considering that you are living off the...... nevermind.
coast?
in a boat?
with a mermaid?
I will have you know that I EARNED my free handouts, thank you VERY much!
Sure you did. Keep telling yourself that, and one of these days you might actually start believing it.
Really?
Okay.
Whatever.
