God willing and funds providing, I am trying to visit Blain in 2018. *fingers tightly crossed* Are there are suggestions for activities to do in Oklahoma? Or maybe where a good area to get a hotel is?? Or any other miscellany?

I am the kind of person that either makes plans waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in advance or not until the last minute, so I guess because I am so excited I am more in the first category at the moment.

When I decide go somewhere - and I am going to start my trip up to Eugene, Oregon, in a couple of hours to see my brother - I go online and make reservations. I usually start with Motel 6. If I can't find one of those, I might try Super 8 or Choice Hotels. I am looking for decent not-too-expensive motels. I've never been in Oklahoma so I can't tell you about activities, but it wouldn't matter to me. When I get to where I am going, I watch TV and eat. Or if I'm in Eugene, I spend time hanging out with my brother. 2018 is a long ways away. What's wrong with 2016?

I also am going to be saving up to be able to see you:) even if I just put 50 dollars a month aside I am sure we can be with each other or if I happen to somehow come across some extra cash I can add that to the funds, 50 dollars a month for a year is about 600 and I don't know how much it costs to go to Arizona let alone be at an inn or hotel or something but if there is one thing God has taught me is that love always finds a way ♥

I am so ecstatic that things are finally starting to come into motion!! Oh and the reason for not doing 2016 sadly is because my work is very stringent about how many days you take off. I already took of 4 this year to see my sister pick out her wedding dress, and then next summer will be her wedding in New York and that will be another 4-7 days. So 2018 it has to be...at least on my end.

Yeah blainy the most expensive thing tends to be the accommodations, not really the airfare. Depending on when and what airline you chose, it can be as low as $200 up and $200 back. I always like Southwest, they have good quality flights and aren't horribly expensive.

Or you could drive. Better let Blain know it gets hot in Arizona during the summer.

No worries I completely understand:) even though I want to see you very badly I am not lacking in patience and like I said to you a few days ago perhaps this is how God wants it for now. I will be trying to find a way to earn some extra cash a job right now in my current physical condition is a big no no but perhaps I can earn some money online somehow either way just as I always to Jesus it doesn't matter if you have to come to me or if I have to come to you I will never give up until you and I are finally together forever♥

ya.... im very hot natured so I would need to be in a freezer lol when I was holding the sign for little ceasers in the summer before my body began having issues to make it where I cannot work it was so insanely hot that I began to get dizzy and they normally wouldn't give me a break considering it was only a three to four hour shift but my health was an issue and I wasn't going to stop holding that sign even if I couldn't stand due to my strength being sapped and so they would let me sit in the freezer for about ten minutes when I needed it and I swear I thought I died and wen to heaven.

When I work I give it my all even if my health is endangered and holding that sign was no easy task due to the intense heat but I refused to give in. and this was Oklahoma I can't even imagine what arizona would be like but hey im not holding the sign for hours there so it's all good

Fortunately in Arizona there is air conditioning absolutely everywhere. During the summer months I become a hermit hahahaha

I am so excited, if it's in February, how nice and cool it will be. Here it will probably be in the 80s

My wife and I always try to stay at a Hampton Inn when we travel. We have stayed at a few and the accommodations are always excellent and the rates reasonable.

Check out Groupon for some sweet hotel deals and whatnot.

Well also there's couchsurfing.com and airbnb.com if you don't mind staying with someone. Depends on how much money you want to save haha.

It must feel really crazy when people from here meet. I wonder what everyone's personalities are really like.
