I am a Tucsonan, born and raised.
Rodeo break. Loved it. University of Arizona degree. Got it. Eegee’s. Explained it.
But about two years ago, I heard some terrifying words from my then fiancé (now husband) Lance: “We’re moving to Omaha, Nebraska.” Thanks, U.S. Air Force.
I had a lot of questions.
Tornados? Snow? Dry heat? Maybe. Yes. Never.
Will I be living in a cornfield? No. It turns out I would just live down the street from a cornfield.
Is there anything to do in Omaha? Yes. That Peyton Manning, he was on to something.
Tucson will always be my home, but Omaha is my playground. You’ll see what I mean when you come here for the College World Series, especially if you do it my way.
