Memphis

So far we have had a fantastic time here in Memphis. These people really know how to do it up. Swanky parties, lots of food, buses to take the wedding party around, and sweet digs to stay in. However, it has been the time with friends that has meant the most to me. Meeting and being around all the women in my best guy friends lives is such a fun thing to experience. "Good job boys!" I'm so proud of them and the brides that they have chosen. I'm pleased to be a part of this community and have the privilege to get to call them my friends.

It is strange being the only single girl here. Not because I feel left out or that I don't fit in, but to see how each of these people are now "one" with another person. I was talking with Russ's Katherine about this scenario and how much she really has become more dependent on him for support. I can totally see how this would be true, even for the most independent of women. Two really are becoming one, you look to each other for comfort and support in all instances. While for twenty some odd years it was you and you only, but in the matter of moments you are not your own. Now, I obviously don't completely understand this phenomenon, (I'm not married) but I can imagine it totally rocks your world. Can't wait.

So... we are having a great time. Hewey, the Moyn and myself ate on Beale Street last night, which was fantastic. We had drinks in the nicest estate I have ever been to ever. I met another guy that is going to be an intern next year. We saw Graceland, see further posts for more detail. And now we are waiting for the big event. Wish you all were here!

When is good to have me in Norman? It doesn't look too good for me until after orientation... what do ya think?

PS does everyone whose anyone have a blog up in Norman? Everyone writes in like 4 blogs or something. Most of my friends arent sure exactly what to do with my blog. "We're supposed to read it?" "Yeah, if you want." "What does it say?" "Different stuff, things about my day or what I'm thinking or whatever..." "But.. why can't you just tell me all that on the phone?..." and so on and so forth. I am breaking them in gently...
