The Start!

A lot has happened in the last week! SO much that this will be a LONG post! First off.... INDUCTION! Friday was induction. It was the beginning of the start! We were Sworn in with our oath and had CAKE! Then was the super duper talent show! The AmeriCorps Talent Show that Amanda and I set up with the Help from my awesome TL Jamie! It was a total smash!


Saturday we then hit the road for our first round down to Lake Charles Louisiana. We left at 8 am. We did have house inspections tho 6:30 am. That was SO fun! We made it for 2 hours before anything major happened! But it was a minor incident and all is well! It only delayed us for an hourish. We drove \ through Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. We slept in Chatanooga TN at a super 8! The beds were the best part! THEY WERE AMAZING!!!! Meagan and I wanted to steal it and strap it to our van and take it with us. But we didn't! We then hit the road at 7:30, tho it felt like 6:30 cause of daylight savings. But with in less than an hour we drove into a new time zone so it was like never changing the clock! I have decided that if you must change clocks, travel that day hahaha. Sunday we drove the rest of TN, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana! We got to Lake Charles at around 8pm. We had to drop off equipment in New Orleans so we "got lost" in the french quarter for about 20 min! I can't wait for spring break to go down and see it :) i am buying my train tickets tomorrow!:) i can't wait! Most of my team is going so it will be a PARTY!
Monday we started work for Habitat for Humanity (HFH) we painted, painted, painted some more! Tuesday we finished painting and started putting in floor :) I got a lot of my phone calls made so that was even more of a bonus! I am getting the hang of calling people/organizations I don't know and just asking if they need help so that a good thing!
Today we finished the floor and started putting up the cabinets in the kitchen. But as you can tell the road trip was the most fun! SO here are some pics of the trip and NOLA!
