Been A While...

Yes, yes. It has been a little over two months since I last updated. Time got away with me and they blocked blogspot.com at campus. The good thing is that I'm here now with a lot to tell.

So while at Cal-Wood, Sun One finally found out where they were heading next. We ended up getting Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to work with Habitat for Humanity. We then went back to Denver, had a two week Christmas break, and a transition week before leaving.

On the 8th of January, we started our roadtrip. On the way there, we visited the World's Largest Easel. We also were all wearing overalls. Yes, overalls. We got most of them the day before send-off. After that, we stopped in Selina, Kansas for the night. The next day, we got to Oklahoma City.

Our work week is Tuesday-Saturday. We work on Saturday, because that is when Habitat gets more volunteers. Our first day was a demolition. It was a bad day. We had to remove a TON of fiberglass from the house. To sum up the rest, I have done roofing, framing, installing drywall, painting, caulking, wrapping and random things involving houses. It is not hard work, but it is very fun. We work with many different people every day and have great sponsors/site supervisors. I've been having a great time here. I've even visited my mother, brother, and sister. I am also getting a lot of ISP done on Mondays every week. I will be done with all of them by the end of this round.

Now I will talk about the random little things.
Our sponsor invited us to a concert one night. The band, "No Justice", was amazing.
The apartments we live in are really awesome. We have two and they are fully furnished. One is a two bedroom, two bath and the other is a one bedroom, one bath. They also have breakfast Monday-Friday and dinner on Friday night.
We have had two and a half snow days already. Two were this Tuesday and Wednesday. We may have another one tomorrow.
Every other week, we have "dates". Cody will pair us up with a person we don't usually hang out with and we have to go out and get to know each other. They aren't that bad.

I don't have much else to talk about. I have more pictures up on Facebook, if you want to check them out. You can also comment if you want to know more. I will try to update when I can.
