I grew up in Houston and was pretty familiar with OKC because I have family there, but I think the first time I ever came to Tulsa was for my college visit at TU. My campus tour guide in a cowboy hat won me over with his southern charm. Actually, everyone on campus seemed so friendly and down to earth, which is why I ultimately chose to move here for school. 

I love that Tulsa has many of the same things to offer as the big city I grew up in, just on a smaller scale. I couldn't believe anyone would complain about traffic here because it seemed non-existent compared to what I was used to in Houston (although I wish someone would teach OK drivers how to merge!). 

I do miss some of the food in Houston, mostly my favorite Greek restaurant because I haven't found anything comparable in Tulsa. But I've been here for almost 7 years now, am getting married here this summer, and planning to buy a house just west of Tulsa, so I guess I'm not going anywhere for awhile! My fiance is from a tiny farm town in Kansas, and we really did meet in the middle here in Tulsa. It's a perfect compromise of city comforts and country charm.
