So that church I love so much in Tulsa I have been informed by my close friend is attended by someone who was/is in a boy band. They were popular in the nineties. I was never a fan of theirs so I have no clue who is who in this band.
Apparently from what else my friend has said is that the boy band member may no longer attend as fans have started going to that church. I have no clue how true that is as I never once saw any one out of the ordinary both times that I went. But that begs the question how far is too far when it comes to famous people.

Prayers for a friend
Was just wondering if everyone could pray for a dear friend of mine. She goes to the orthodox church I love in Tulsa. Her mother passed away on Saturday.

An Update
So I haven't done a life update in a while and decided to do one.
As I said once we were supposed to move to Tulsa in April or May of 2011. That fell through. When we went to Tulsa in April for a visit my grandma's envoy broke down. Her transmission literally went on us. We had to get it towed back which cost about a thousand and some dollars. My grandpa(not my step-grandpa) had to come and get us and my aunt came along to help him do the driving. I got blamed for that from my dad who moved back with us after his girlfriend kicked him out. I was blamed because it was my idea to take the trip...though my grandma didn't know she was supposed to have the oil drained from the transmission from time to time..at least I think that was what the guy said was why the transmission went.
After we came back we had my dad's van for awhile but just a month or two after that his transmission went in his van. I think the heavens for my grandpa because he let us use his car. We finally got both cars back in October. But sice we used so much money getting my grandma's car towed back and also because we were using my grandpa's car we had to put the move off.
We did sorta move though just not out of state. After my grandma's divorce from my step-grandpa was final she had to put her house up for Auction. We had thirty days to move. We ended up putting everything in storage and staying in Motels from August to September 23rd when we moved into a rental house. We signed a five month lease. I kinda hope we don't sign again because were we live is really in the middle of nowhere. You can't get good cellphone signals. All of ours roam constantly. Also my grandma is disappointed because no satellite service can get a signal down here either for tv. So we have to use a converter box, but that barely gets good signal either. It's because we are surrounded by really tall trees.
I am hoping once the lease is done that somehow I can get to Tulsa...my dad has made it clear he doesn't want to move there but I'd need someone to go with me to help me get settled and stuff. Not having moved yet is sorta making me depressed which probably sounds weird. I asked both my mom and grandma on Tuesday when they saw me the happiest and they said each time we have been in Tulsa. I am hoping I can get back there somehow and someway and I also need to hope for no more bad luck for our family when it comes to cars.

The church that I love
So I have only been to two orthodox churches. The one here where I live for now which is a Greek Church and then one I visit when I am in Oklahoma. It's a small Orthodox Church and I believe it's connected to the Orthodox Church in America. There is just something I love about it. I have only been to it twice. Once in September of 2010 and once in April 2011. But it has stolen my heart. The atmosphere there is just so calm and peaceful and the people are very sweet. It's called Holy Apostles.
