Home Again, Home Again

Obviously I am back in Alaska. I have been here for about two days. When I first got here I of course saw grandma for a few hours then my sisters picked me up and took me to their house. There, I was able to see Owen which was definetely fun. Dawn (one of my sisters) bought Rockband (or Guitar Hero I'm not sure) Beattles version. We got the very same game for my dad for his birthday therefore I have a fair amount of practice. Still I'm not very good! My grandma was aloud to go home yesterday so we brought her home. The doctor said that if a couple pills that they gave her did not work for pain that she may have did not work than we needed to bring her back to the hospital immediately but if the pills did work she was completely fine.

The Endless Journey

My grandma had a heart attack so were heading to Alaska to see her. Along the way we cannot board our plane because it was delayed an hour. We thought that it was slightly annoying but we had a four hour layover in Salt Lake City so we didn't worry that much. Then, when we finally boarded the plane we tookoff and hit a flock of birds. Currently I am in Salt Lake but can't wait to board the plane out of here. Since our plane was so late yesterday we missed our connection flight here so the airport gave us a room at Red Lion hotel. It was fairly nice. We got up at about 4:10a.m. in order to get onto the shuttle from the hotel at 5:00a.m. Now that we've finally gotten to the aiport we are waiting for the restaurants to open. I sure hope this plane doesn't hit birds!

Cold, in Oklahoma?

I realize that I posted about it being cold here but I ca t believe how "cold" it's gotten. Today I think that it got down to 40 degrees this morning. Of course many people here call that cold but back in Aaska where I lived we called -10 degrees cold definetely not 40 degrees. It sure is nice to have fairly warm weather all year!

Oklahoma Winter

It's getting cold for Oklahoma. A couple days ago it got down to about 54 degrees. Being from Alaska that's in summer weather! It's funny because last year people were complaining about how cold it was and that we shouldn't go outside. I just put a light jacket on and I'm ready to go but the people who live here (no offense to them of course) make sure that they are fairly well bundled up. Sometimes I do not blame them because wind packs a punch sometimes. During fairly bad winter days the wind actually stings. Most of the time it's hilarious when people think it's cold at 54 degrees but when it is windy it's bad!

Update

I updated my phone a couple of hours ago. The new update includes bring able to send video and picture in a text message. I had no idea thathere was even an update until I talked to someone on my bus who had just gotten an iPhone a week or two ago. He obviously messed around on his a lot more than I do. He showed me that once I got the update I just had to go to messages and then to the little box that you put messages in and directly to the left of it there is a little camera that you click on. After that all you have to do is click on what you want in the message ( picture or video) and select which one you want. Cool huh?!?
