Last week my mom and I went to Oklahoma City. When we landed, I went in the cockpit and met the Continental Airline pilots. I want to be a pilot for Continental Airlines when I grow up. The first thing we did was go to dinner with March of Dimes chapter staff and board members. Everyone had cheesecake.

We had to get up really early in the morning to do radio interviews on the Clear Channel stations KTST, KTOK and KXXY. After that we attended the Oklahoma City Division Team Captain Breakfast. My mom and I told our story, and thanked everyone for their hard work. Then we went to the state capitol. My mom, me, and our friends at the March of Dimes were recognized on the House floor. The legislators were really nice and thanked my mom afterwards. Then we handed out a small gift to the House and Senate members to thank them for supporting the March of Dimes. After that, we had lunch with the Legislative Women’s Caucus. We presented an awared to Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins for her work for the March of Dimes. Then, the Lt. Governor and I went to get some ice cream.
I got to have more ice cream after that at Farmer’s Insurance National Call Center. We thanked a lot of Farmer’s employees who will be participating in the March for Babies.

The next day we had to get up early again for a tv interview on Fox 25. Then we went to Tronx for a meet and greet and yummy breakfast. After that we went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial to pray. My mom cried. Instead of crosses, there is a chair for every person who was killed. I prayed for the children. Then we went to Mercy Hospital for a luncheon and to tour the NICU. Everyone was really nice.

At night we went to a Red Hawks baseball game. I got to throw out the first pitch. One of the players signed my baseball. I couldn’t wait to get home to show Michael. He couldn’t come along because he had school.
