Indeed. The Husband is currently in TN, which is seeing horrible flooding. I was about 25 yards from the mircowave bomb in PGH on Sunday morning and watched the bomb sqaud detonate it with the robot. Sometimes I feel like Forest Gump...I seem to always be nearby when strange historic events occur. For example, I was in a gas station bathroom in Pampa, Texas with my Mom, Sister and both brothers during the 1995 Tornado Outbreak where we watched the F4 tornado through a crack in the bathroom door. The F4 was just one of 20 tornados that day. Then there was the Oklahoma Blizzard of 2009, when The Husband and I were stranded in Boise City, Oklahoma with my Sister at my Aunt's house without running water or electricity. That record setting storm resulted in at least nine fatalities in Oklahoma and hundreds of injuries. There was almost a tenth fatality when I considered killing either myself or my Aunt's husband---but we both miraculously survived.
In fact, I am not Forrest Gump. I am a lawyer. I grew up in Oklahoma with my fantastic family and got my undergraduate degree in Agrcultural Communications and Political Science from Oklahoma State University. I met The Husband at OKState and after our wedding and respective graduations, we lugged one ton of "stuff" half-way across the country and settled in The Keystone State where I earned my J.D. and he is currently working on his PhD.
I am currently completeing my clerkship with a trial court judge who is a great jurist, teacher and mentor. I am a fan of college basketball and football, the Steelers and the Pens. I will beat you at fooseball. I read the Economist while watching The Hills, Real Housewives and other mindless television. That is the short of it.
