Hey guys,
Disclaimer here: If I did not see you in the last week it is not that I did not love you, it was that I only had a week and really wanted to spend it with the familia.
So I just got back from Oklahoma. It was nice to see my family. It has been a full year since I was home, and I figured it was time. So the plan began to get home. I bought my tickets like 2 months ago, and then began to count down the days to coming home. Once it finally got here it did not really even seem real.
I finally arrived at Will Rogers Airport(which I still find it weird we have an airport named after someone who died in a plane crash!!!) and my mom picked me up. The drive home was pretty uneventful. Except when we hit Moore, once we got there my eyes were filled with the left over damage from the tornadoes. I was glad that it was pretty cleaned up, because that means that Moore is moving on with life. It was just interesting to see just so much open ground where buildings used to be.
Once I was home the Deb's kids had no idea I was coming home, so they were told that mom was going to get a surprise for them...of course they thought it was a puppy. When I came inside they just started screaming and were so excited. Then we told them that the next day we would be going to the zoo. I had not been to the OKC zoo in forever so it was nice to go back, but it was a bit warm so lots of the animals were not out :(. Even with that it was so much fun to go with the kids, and they even tried to touch the stingrays at Stingray Bay.
Our next big event was going to see my Grandma. We had not told her either that I was coming. So we met her in Tulsa for Cracker Barrel(which they have none of these in California!!! I knew these Californians were crazy) When Grandma saw me she was just like I knew it, and just hugged me all over. It was nice to see her. Of course we caused problems the whole time, and had everyone dying laughing from acting crazy. It was kinda like old times.

The next amazing thing was getting to celebrate my sisters birthday! Now this may not seem like a big thing, but I have missed Deb's birthday for around 3 or 4 yrs. Either I am leaving the country or moving to California. So I decided I really wanted to be there for her birthday this year. So to celebrate we went antique shopping in Guthrie. Which is one of the things that me and my sister love to do, and we always find some awesome things. On top of the awesomeness we also find lots things to laugh and joke about, such as an item that looks like it comes straight out of a torture dungeon. The only downside to this day is lots of the shops were closed since the weekend before MUMFORD AND SONS has hosted a giant music festival (aka 35,000 people extra in Guthrie). So most of the shop owners were trying to catch up on sleep.
One thing that I did was something that I have not done in forever! I got up early to go to school. I went to school with mom, since I wanted to say hey to a lot of teachers from CCS that have changed my life. I ended up getting to spend a few hours up there talking and just enjoying the time in the school
One of the last awesome things that happened was getting to see my Memaw. This woman is so much fun to chill with. She just keeps you laughing the whole time! She is an awesome person. We did not do anything crazy just sat and watched some TV and chatted. She did take us to eat some Chinese food, which is a great family tradition. Me and Deb just love giving her a hard time, and she gives it right back.
Well that is about it...I know other things happened, but if I gave you a blow by blow then you would have stopped reading forever ago! I loved getting to see the people that I did see, and wished that I could have seen a lot more people. Thank you to all that have supported me in this time of training, and I pray that you will continue to support me through even more years.
