I'm just a Oklahoma tornado, passing through.

Again, I am sorry for the lack of writing.
This whole 'not working laptop' thing is getting on my nerves!
Did you guys hear about the tornado's in Oklahoma?
Yep,
well I just happened to be in the middle of the whole mess.
I must admit,
I was afraid for a good bit of the night.
Especially since the news were just telling us horror story after horror story of what the storm was doing all across the state and warning us of how it was coming straight for us.
They kept stressing the "intensity" of the storm, showing pictures of destroyed houses, and some reports of death.
Thankfully as we watched it inch closer and closer to my grandparents tiny little town the huge tornado cloud that was SURE to hit us started doing something strange...
It started..
Parting.
Right down the middle,
around us.
It was the craziest thing I'd ever seen.
And I don't think I've ever thank God that much in my life.

the description of beautiful

{above is a picture I took of my grandparents horse named,Star}
This morning I woke at 10:24 to the sound of my grandmother (whom I call "meme")
asking me if I was gonna sleep ALL DAY.
I rolled out of bed and went to the kitchen.
My grandpa was in the other room playing a game on the computer.
I fixed myself a pop tart and a quick glass of milk.
I could already tell it was quite dark outside,
I knew there must be a storm rolling in.
After I was done eating I kept looking around for my grandmother.
But I couldn't find her anywhere.
I noticed the front door was open and went to it.
There she was sitting on the porch.
She noticed me and asked me if I wanted to sit with her, I accepted.
So there I sat in the front porch of her old farm house in the middle the country of Oklahoma.
With a nice breeze blowing on me from the cold front about to come in.
It wasn't cold enough for a jacket and it wasn't warm.
We sat there.
Watching the horses graze.
Watching the rain clouds roll in.
Watching her hummingbirds fly around the feeders she had hanging on the black jack tree right in front of her house.
Watching the gorgeous silver leaves fall off the silver elms tree,
and the contrast in color it made on the road.
Needless the say,
it was a beautiful way to spend a morning.
