Wyoming Rules!

Stabs at Wyoming

Since coming to Kansas I have been asked this question at least once, sometimes twice a day. "Where are you from?"
The answer that pops into my mind first is, Gering, NE. (Living there for a good three years and meeting some amazing people has put it close to my heart.)
But of course, Gillette, WY is where I am from. And I wouldn't trade Wyoming for the world!

Now for some stabs on Wyoming:
Yes Alex and Matt, I have been called out on my "Northern Accent" more then once. One of the boys in the youth group calls me "Canadian".

They couldn't believe I had never seen a wheat field. I bet they've never seen a moose or a bear. Or mountains! ha ha!

There was a teacher at camp that had never met anyone from Wyoming. He didn't think we even existed.

After the tornado in Goshen County my house host Jerry came into the kitchen and said, "Well Wyoming is gone, all five people died."
And after I told him that my mother designed kitchens for a living he asked, "So after she's done with the five kitchens in Wyoming what does she do?"
I like to remind him that we live on the only hill in Kansas.

And according to this video Kansas doesn't even exist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg_R_3q8aKg

Storms

The only real apprehension I had in coming to live in Kansas for the summer is that I would be right in Tornado Alley. Funny, because Nebraska has gotten the really bad storms.
However, before the summer is out I do want to live through a monster super cell that produces some pretty wicked storms.
What am I saying?
As for my car that is parked under two huge trees, hopefully my car's force field will protect it from a falling branch or, a whole tree.

Words I can't spell

apprehension, completely, mountians and according to spell check, Goshen and Gering.
