Okay, I'll do a day journal thing like Jenn is doing. So, this may take awhile to get done.
Day 1- We begin the 12 hour bus ride down to Eufala, Oklahoma. At first I ate mini muffins. That was a pointless statement. But, anyway, on the way down there, at first, us girls just slept most of the time. Well, when I finally woke up, I went back to sit by Daniel and talk to him. At first we didn't really talk because he was asleep because his medicine made him sleepy so I just talked to Brother Orlie. I can't remember what we talked about though. But, anyway, then Daniel woke up. So we started talking. His dog is like one of the oldest dogs in the state or country or something. And it has no tongue. O_o He told me how it lost its tongue, but I forgot the story. XD Anyway, then we got down to Eufala. We ate supper then played in the game room. Then we went back to the bunks and showered. THE SHOWERS WERE AWESOME. They were huge! And you could sit down in them. And they had a huge water heater so yeah, we were happy. Then we stayed up until like two in the morning talking. We were just supposed to be giving testimonies, but Haley went a little too far so we got into this discussion and no one really got to say anything but say stuff to help Haley feel better. But we finally got to sleep.
Day 2- We take the five hour bus ride down to Mesquite, Texas. The fourth largest city in the U.S. On the way there, I talked to Daniel again. I talked to Daniel alot during this trip. Then we went to this place called Whataburger for supper. They had these spinning chairs that we couldn't stop spinning in. It was fun. Then after that, we got dressed for church, then we went. They had this big astronaut thing. At first we thought it was a real guy in a suit, so I waved at him. But he didn't wave back, and it looked like he was like, floating. But, he wasn't fake. He was real, and I thought I waved at a big blob of air in front of Daniel. But, nope. XD Then afterwards, we went to Domino's and got pizza and ate. Then later that night, I had a dream that Daniel and Uriah tried to push me off a cliff, so I screamed and woke everyone in my room up and Haley hit her head on the table because she was on the floor. XDDD
Day 3- We ate breakfast at the church. All they had that I could eat there was fruit. So, I had to make the best of it. Then I decided to play basketball and volleyball after we got done with breakfast. But, Daniel didn't want to play and neither did Samantha so they talked. It made me uncomfortable though. I dunno why, I mean I know they see each other as brother and sister, but they're not really. It just... makes me well, jealous sometimes. But after about two minutes, she got up and went with the other girls, so I went to sit with Daniel and talk to him. We were talking then, that big astronaut dude comes up to us assuming that we're dating or something. He like waved at me, then waved at Daniel then waved at both of us at the same time. It was funny. He couldn't really talk easily in the thing. So he just waved. XDDD It was funny. Then, later that day, we had a volleyball tournament. Our boys won the championship! Let's see... on that team they had Daniel, Uriah, Keith, Dakota, the three Godfreys, Brother Orlie, and Dalton. They beat Parkside! (Parkside was the host church) Mwahahaha. I love my boys. Anyhoo, after that, we went to go get on the bus and I was the first girl to get on, and Daniel was already on, and I start walking back towards my seat in front of him, and he says, "Nope, I think you got on the wrong bus." Yeah. XD Then, we went to the hotel, and I looked out my window and Daniel was out there, doing something, so I went out there and asked him, and he said he was counting the cars. I asked him how many he counted and he said 1,000 something. I didn't believe it at first, but just wait until you hear about tomorrow.
Day 4- This is our full day there. I was sure I was going to miss it. But, I had to make the best of it. So, we got up, went to the sessions, and starting yesterday Daniel had to sit by me for all the church sermons and such. It was... interesting. Anyway, we went to Ryan's Steakhouse. It was good food. Tim Stowe got on the bus with us, and he was talking to Persephonie about popping hips back into place. And he just sorta did that... but mine and Sam's face were sorta there. And we were singing, "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" so, yeah what a moment. XD It was right in our faces. Daniel was sitting behind me and was like, eh? XD, anyway, then we went to eat, and nothing really speecial happened. Then, our guys were in the basketball tournament. It was a three on three so only three guys could be in it. It was supposed to be Uriah, Dakota, and Dalton, who are all good at basketball, but Uriah did something to his shoulder the first game, and Daniel was supposed to come fill in for him, but he wouldn't because he stinks at basketball and I just think he didn't wanna embarrass himself. Trust me, I've seen him play. It's sad. So, this guy named Josh came in, and he was terrible. So we lost the second game, and were forced to lose the tournament. Ugh. I would have played, but it was a boys sport. So, then we went to the hotel. I decided to be like Daniel, and count cars. I stood out there, and counted 1,500 cars, and then he saw me out there, and he stayed out there with me. So, I told him I could count more cars then him, he had already counted 1,800. So, we stood out there for about three or four hours, and counted cars. And there was this weird guy staring at me that I didn't see that Daniel did. And later Daniel told Pastor. And, well you'll find out about that later. Well, anyways, Daniel was supposed to tell me when it was a half hour before church started, but he forgot, and I finally asked him, but it was ten minutes until it started and we both looked like we just got done running twenty miles. So, we went in and got changed. (Not in the same room) So, yeah. Then we went to our last church service, and it was very interesting. But, anyway, when we got back we had Domino's pizza which we all had to go to Brother Orlie's room to get, and they had soda, but they didn't have diet soda. Which I need because I'm diabetic. So, we asked if we could go to the gas station and brother Orlie said okay. Well, no one knew it was almost midnight. But I took Sam and Haley with me. And Daniel told Pastor where we went, and Pastor darted out the door, and spotted us while we were almost there. He yelled for us to come back so we did. We didn't know why until half and hour later. Pastor and Daniel called us to tell us why we had to come back. It turned out that guy was watching us with a gun in his hand. So it freaked Daniel and Pastor out. So, yeah. That was my night.
Day 5- My blood sugar went high. I couldn't sleep because if I did, it would be very bad. I remember right before we got to Eufala, I fell asleep for about two minutes, and no one noticed. So Daniel woke me up because he knew I wasn't supposed to be sleeping. Anyway, after we got there, we ate, went to a yardsale, and then played games in the game room. And then went to bed, after we showered in the best showers ever. I took an hour long shower. XD then we went to bed.
Day 6- Nothing special really happened. We went to Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, and I bought a hat. XD I took funny pictures of Uriah, Keith and Daniel. And I found out Daniel had braces at one time. I always liked his teeth. XD
THE END. Whoa, that was fun.
