Oh gosh..I don’t wanna be home. Right when I clicked on new weblog entry, I started crying again. Oklahoma was wonderful..it really was. For me..things were so carefree. “I feel so free when im in Oklahoma” (I know that was meant as an insult but its kinda true) I just felt like nothing mattered except for the people with me in the little town of Stilwell. I love that feeling. It’s like the Milldale feeling…but also, things between me and Sam aren’t so hot. Let me tell you all about everything. Oh, the joys of Oklahoma.

We left right after church on Sunday morning. The Thomas’ and the Holmes’ didn’t leave right away. We ate lunch at Wendy’s with the people in Billy Ray’s vehicle. Somewhere along the way, we met up with everybody and when we got to Mena (Not Menu) we stopped at Western Cizzler and ate supper. Eh…it was cold in there and yeah. We didn’t really eat anything because it was gross… We got split up again because Reed needed to go to Walmart and then when we were driving along, we caught up with the Holmes’ and then got lost. Hilariously, Mr. Keith got lost at the same exact part and we all ended up together again! You should’ve seen all of the men getting out of the car discussing what to do..Mr. Keith asked for directions! I was like…he’s not a real man! lol. “I feel safer now that Mr. Keith is with us.” Oh yes…when leaving the W.C., Sam got mad at me about what she stayed mad at me about all week and is still mad about. So yeah…we got to the hotel about 11 or so and IT WAS SO AWESOME! We stayed at the Americinn and it was super awesome. “I stayed here last year and I just now noticed it was “Americinn…like American”” We all unpacked and then went to our rooms. I stayed with Sam & Seth n we watched The Notebook and I went to bed about 2:30.

Monday morning we woke up about 8 and went over to our church. It was a cute little church, ya know. We had a lil meeting & then started decorating our rooms. I got stuck with Phyllis for the 4 & 5 year olds. Then me, Seth n Reed walked around outside and talked about how blessed we were at OBBC. Eh, we went over to Walmart and I bought me a Cinderella change purse! Aw, how cute. Newho. We went to Sonic for lunch, but me, Mom & Vickie ate Subway..(MMMMM MMMMM!) Back at the hotel, everybody went swimming but me, Sam n Abby so we sat around and talked and then I went up to the room and got ready for bible school. The women made spaghetti (this is when I stopped eating…eh..just because I wasnt hungry). Bible school started at 6:30 and it was alright. Not very many kids came. There weren’t very many 4-5 yr olds so me and Abby babysat Alana! She was so precious! Awww! Lanabug! She kept going through my purse and wanting more “mush” (bubble gum). Bro. Lester preached that night and he said beloved..71 times! Poor Bro. Lester! (sam’s friend!) He’s so old and feeble, lol. Reed n Saw sang “Come Down to Me”.  I sat by Sam. I wore my pink shoes! “You can’t wear my shoes. They’d clash with your purple toenails.” So we went back to the hotel and went swimming. It was…okay. Mrs. Vickie got a call and they said Brittany Graham had gotten in a real bad wreck and was being airlifted to Shreveport..something about life support. That’s Mrs. Jeanine and Mr. Jimmy Ray’s neice so they left. I think she’s doing a whole lot better today though. We all prayed for her. I know because OBBC believes in the power of prayer. Oh the power of prayer. Man I love my Jesus. He’s so amazing. Well, we got out of the pool a little before midnight & the girls and Abby came over and watched “What Women Want” until 1:00. They left and we went straight to bed.

Tuesday: We got up about 10 and went over to the Thomas’ room to watch Shrek 2. About 11, we decided to go to Subway. Sam and my dad don’t like Subway…so we had to go to McDonalds. I whined forever, lol. I hate getting split up from the group. I ate some french fries and then we rode around looking at the mighty Stilwell, Oklahoma. We made a loop around the school and stopped at the Farmer’s Market. Back at the hotel, me, Sawyer, Seth n Reed swam for a while while the girls practiced H4H. I had fun! Reed n Sawyer are great! We swam for a pretty good while and yeah. So..we got ready for church and Mrs. Marilyn, Mr. Billy Ray n Mr. Gary prepared Boston Butt. (didnt eat much). I played with Olive the puppet while we all sat around. “Hahahahaha..*sigh*” Reed is a natural with the puppets. It’s HILARIOUS! So there were alot more kids that night. I helped Mrs Diane, Mrs Barbara, Sam n Sawyer with the 6-8 yr olds. She had enough helpers but she begged me to help her. (???) I helped Nikolas and Jason make crafts! Sam helped Jessica. Saw helped Matthew (who is autistic). He doesn’t really act like he is though. He’s just hyper, but who isn’t? But anywho. I met a girl named Megan! Church was excellent! Mr. Keith preached the sermon where he describes Calvary and one lady got saved. (Funny how that’s the only sermon I remember!) Reed n Saw sang “Had it Not Been”. It was so good. Fivo (Five-o?…) sang two songs and it was INTERESTING! hahahaha! I thought I was gonna die laughing but I didn’t, lol. I accidentally made Sam sit by herself and then I felt bad. Jessica went and sat with her. I sat by Reed n Amber. Saw’s phone kept vibrating! Reed was sooo amused with my light up shoes! lol. Dorrrrk. “LOSER! LOSER!” “What’s a lufer?” I knew Sam was mad now so I stayed in Mom’s room and went to bed about midnight.

Wednesday: We woke up at 6:30 and left for the Trail of Tears about eh..8. We got there close to 9 but it didn’t open until 10 so we found a gift shop and I bought me some feather earrings that I ended up liking. Sam felt grungy all day because I made her change from her dressy clothes to her James clothes! Hey..we talked to James on the phone! lol. Anyway. We went back to the Trail of Tears and It was awesome! Wah-doh is thank you in Cherokee! We went to BK for lunch. We went to this cool lil bridge for a lil while & it was pretty cool. Me, Mom & Sam went to Walmart and bought me another camera. I took a total of 87 pictures while I was there! We got back to the hotel and Reed came down to the room and we watched soap operas on mute while Reed made up the stuff they said..man it was funny. We started watchin Finding Nemo and then we all went to get ready. I finally got ready n then busted down to the girls room n stuff. We went to church and they ate leftovers. “If you’re trying to play footsie with me…that’s my knee.” Sam went n sat with Mr. Lester & they talked about Jamaica. It was the girl’s kitchen duty so I put up dishes! I went to the sanctuary n talked to Reed n Sawyer. “Hilary’s my girl!” “Hilary’s mean to me.” “Like I said, Hilary’s my girl!” Haha, ya gotta love ’em. Sooo we marched in and I sat with Mr Keith n we sang and said pledges and laughed at how horrible the puppets were. We had a few new kids at bible school and they still rock. Nikolas was being mean to me!!! Grrr at Nik! Well..bell rang and we went to snacks and once again stood around with Mrs Mary, Reed, Saw, Seth n Jaimie. We talked about when we were little!! Somebody told Mrs. Mary that I could sing…GR! “A little birdy told me you could sing” “A little birdy lied!” hehe. I’m gonna sing with Reed n Sawyer and I think Seth someday! It’s kinda exciting! Well church was a blast. I sat with Sawyer, Mrs Mary and Mr. Keith! Imagine that! Sam was still mad at me that nite..she even told me she was. So the girls signed “Offering” and it rocked. A hott guy sang! hehe. I dont know how to spell his name though. So, Bro. Jason preached in Philippians! He said “brothers and sisters” 87 times! I counted because I’m a a loser and I couldn’t concentrate. We all sat around n chit-chatted after church. When we got back, we went to the girl’s room and then talked to Sawyer for a sec and they told us to go to bed… Me & Abby went to Sam’s room and played UNO with Seth while Sam talked to Julie.

Thursday: Mrs. Mary called and woke me up at 9:00 so I went and watched the end of Surviving Christmas with Sawyer. The men had to go build the church. They ate lunch at Mr. B’s pizza and I ate half a salad. We ran to Walmart and that was about it for the day. I watched some of Dirty Dancing with Sam and sat at the pool and yeah. I don’t really remember ne thing about that day..Bible school was awesome though! They cooked taco salad and I still didn’t eat anything. I was gonna help with the kids but Reed came and got me! I was like….YAY!! I got to sit in Mom’s room and talk about Heaven. lol. I felt smart because I got an answer right that Reed didn’t know so then he had to ask me something he KNEW i wouldn’t know. lol Then I got in trouble! lol. Patrick told me I could stay in Oklahoma. I stole Reed’s name tag from Seth bc I didn’t think he was gonna give it to me and Seth is sooo tired of me! So I talked to Patrick at snack time and he was talking about trucks and Billy Ray said I was flirting with him and I laughed. hahaha Poor Patrick…Reed totally misjudged hiM!!

Friday: The men went to the church AgAiN! SOoOo..they woke me up and we went over to the church about…9ish maybe? I took some pictures of the guys lookin busy! hehe. Then we went to the creek and me and Abby waded in it..FUN! hehe. I loved it. We then went to a mexican restaurant and me and Sam talked everything out and kinda got a lil happier. So..Commencement Night! It ROCKED..and not because I was free OR available! lol. I sat between Reed and a lil boy..lol. The lil boy kept elbowing me on purpose and I kept telling him to hush and he wouldnt LISTEN! I took pictures of everybody up there… the kids learned alot! The 40 n up group sang Amazing Grace in Cherokee! It was so beautiful! Then they went to this other song during amazing grace and i was like Whaa? lol. I had so much fun. The 20-40 group sang When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder (in english, lol.) ANd Bro. Lester CRACKED US UP!!! We ate Indian Tacos after church! I actually ate!!!!!! YAY! I took tons of pictures after church. They’re gonna be wonderful, I hope! Cant wait to get them developed!! Reed rode back to the hotel with us…. I slept in Sam n Seth’s room bc I was available to do as much. (SKANK!)

 This mornin I woke up at 6:45 and got ready n everything…we left by 750 and got home by 430. It was a long and stressful ride home..I started crying like 20408 times….when I got home, i went straight to my room and cried myself to sleep. I can’t believe I’m home. I’m gonna miss the fellowship so much. I’m crying now. Gosh my head hurts. I better go…..I love yall, I really do. It’s just not a good day…I hate getting home from long trips because I hate change…Well….bye.. xoxo, hil*
