Sunday Funday......Sept. 8, 2013

Best day yet! Ran 2 miles with my running gals. My friend and I were driving the 15 passenger van. We went to the First Christian Church Vicksburg. It made me think of the church in Abbeville, South Carolina that my family attended when I was younger. We then went to a dinner called Rowdy's. I had some great catfish, greens, fried Okra, peach cobbler, and finally maybe the best red velvet cake I have ever had in my life. We went to the mall, Outlet malls and picked a few things up, which were inexpensive. Such a fun day and we were in such food coma's napping was the only solution to our problem. :)

New group, new room, new sadness, new happiness!

Yesterday we change rooms, changed teams, Forever team 17! I became so close to my temporary group, we got along so well. I loved team 17 because we were all so different, we each brought a new zestyness to the table. I love them all! So our new group met and the first impression was not very positive, but we are all getting along okay. So I will just give it time and I hope that we can all grow to be friends. I have changed rooms to the 4th floor to the 1st, not too bad! My roomies are awesome though! I am ready to go on spike. I am tired of the 8-5 training stuff, but I am always learning something that I didnt know.

Why are you here?

I was asked today at the end of the end of the day, "Why are you here?” I responded to the question simply "I wanted to get an idea of what I wanted to do for a career". That was the simple truth. My real answer, to help, to learn, to learn to live selflessly, to make new friends, to not sit in a classroom for another year of my life and wish I were somewhere else, to live simply in the moment, to get away from the negative, to find love, to share and give love, the list is endless. I am so grateful to be in Americorps. Thank you mom!

So we trained all day on FEMA ...so tired! Though last night I slept for 8ish hours and was thoroughly proud of myself. I ran two miles today, it was very hard today because I ate yesterday unhealthy food. Studied a little tonight, and going to bed. In this blog I want to say how great team 17 is! I have so many great friends in my group, everyone of them are so incredible .  I Love everyone of them and I am so lucky to have such great people in my life.
