New Years Resolutions

Seeking Toto, we meet again. It's time to dust off the old chase blog and swan dive into 2018. I've never been big on new year's resolutions, but this time around I'm going to make another attempt to accomplish my childhood dream of seeing a tornado.

There have been a lot of changes since I last posted- I started a dream job in July of 2016, the very week I turned 30. It was the best birthday present ever (except for maybe a twister, right?)! This year I'm looking forward to celebrating my fifth year of birthday fundraising with another campaign geared towards supporting disaster relief efforts (organization TBD).

When the incomparable Silver Lining Tours unexpectedly offered a mini-tour scheduled for the middle of May, I jumped at the chance to go storm chasing once again. My experience with SLT two years ago was incomparable- the people were fantastic, and the tour was expertly conducted. Even though the weather was uncooperative and sunny, if there was any chance of stormy weather to be found, Roger Hill took us right to the action.

 With this in mind, I'm really looking forward to meeting Caryn and embarking upon this adventure once again. Since this is going to be a repeat experience, there are fewer uncertainties (beyond the weather, of course). I know what to pack and I have a good idea what to expect, but my excitement remains undiminished.

The adventure begins on May 12th in Oklahoma City- only 127 days to go until showtime!
