Yeah... I live in Norman... SO!

Ok... So since my last blog, I've moved to Norman. I got a job selling insurance, passed my exam (that everybody said was almost impossible to pass) became a licensed insurance producer for the state of Oklahoma... then promptly quit my job.


Thats right ladies and gentlemen.... I hated it. It was not a good fit and I was miserable and wasting money and earning NOTHING! No more sales for me. I think the biggest downfall of that company was that they wanted me to go INTO peoples houses and sell them insurance. Not only is that not safe... but I really didn't enjoy trying to convince people that they needed this insurance when I knew they didn't. Car insurance they need. Health insurance they need. Supplemental life and health insurance not so much. Thats like adding insurance to your insurance.


WEEEELLLL As for living here, its ok. I don't like the fact that I don't know where anything is. I'm learning though. I can get around Norman (for the most part) without help... but if I leave Norman (or the part I know) I have to use the mapping program on my phone. Which is a pain, but managable. I miss that I can just go out to my car and go to a friends house. I don't really have any friends here... other than Adam... and I don't need to go anywhere to go to his house.


And then theres Adam.... I really like living with Adam. Its interesting. We're learning how to live with each other. We're both very different but we're adjusting to each others quirks very nicely. We've figured out (daily living wise) how to adapt to each other.

You know the whole saying, "Don't go to bed angry"... well I've tried to live as close to that as possible. Most of our disagreements are at night because we're both tired and both edgy. And we're both extremely stubborn. Which makes not going to bed angry more difficult. Its completely doable but more difficult.

But hes great. He does random stuff just to make me happy. For example one night we were in bed... watching friends... and I was hungry. It was about 9:30 (yes I go to bed at 9:30 because thats when Adam goes to bed cause he has to wake up at 5:30 to go to work) and I said "I'm hungry, lets go to sonic" and after a conversation about something else entirely, he gets up and starts getting dressed. I said where are you going (thinking he'd forgotten about the sonic comment) and he said "going to Sonic". Theres lots more but I'm sure you don't wanna hear about it.

He is also very supportive of my relationships with my friends. I hear when you get into a long-term relationship that you lose your friends. They either become "our friends" or they dissappear all together. Well in this case they didn't. People that I spent most of my time with prior to moving, I still spend most of my time (phone time really) with. Its true. He's a really great guy.


We're hopefully moving to the City this Summer. I really don't like the apartment. I feel we're always bumping into each other. Its too small and the location SUCKS! It would be a great location if I were going to school at OU but I'm not. He drives over an hour to and from work every day. (I don't currently have a job) and in order to get on a highway we have to drive quite a bit. Plus theres currently construction on I-35 which also hinders my ability to get anywhere in any decent amount of time.


So yeah, thats my life... in Norman..... right now.
