Howdy friends from hillbilly land.
We're still in Maryville (which I learned today on site is locally pronounced "mur-ville") and continuing to build on homes and organize the Resale Store (FYI since I haven't explained it and I wonder if anyone else has either, we're not doing a blitz build [ a week long foundations to walls build] ). Today I went to a Women's Build, a house constructed entirely by women, to paint and it was probably my the best and my favorite on-site day yet!!! Meredith, Ivey, Lindsay, Kaitlin and I represented for the females and had a blast meeting some awesome women. It was wonderfully empowering to say the least. We primed and painted the whole house and ate delicious, fresh food for lunch which was AWESOME.
Building yesterday went well too. I had more fun with the nail gun and was well complemented on my carpentry, measuring and nailing skills (thank you mom and dad for buying me K'nex and letting me play with power tools.) it's nice to get to see work on a house really progress!!
On the social scene, our team is having an absoloute blast together which is so comforting. Many of us are actually anxious to get back on our bikes, myself included!
the library is now set to close (and this is probably the most gorgeous library i've ever been in strangely enough) so I must run.
hope all of you are doing well yourself! let me hear from you!
