Days 0-10 First, I apologize for the scattered nature of this blog. I hope you enjoy anyway. There’s no real way for me to cover everything from the past 10 days but I’d like to catch y’all up a little. That’s going to be tough since I don’t really have words to describe the last […]
“Oooooooklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.” Let me just start this blog by saying that this song is not a bunch of made up lyrics concerning Oklahoma. This is real. The wind in Oklahoma is real. REALLLY REAL. I can’t even make myself talk about it more because it will make me […]
