So I realized after I wrote those last 2 blogs that I never really told y'all about the final work days with Habitat, just how I loved my overall experience...so here is what we did those last few days (sorry for the blogs being out of order!) The last two and a half work days, my team was at 1008 Tucker Avenue in Pascagoula, working with Jamie on a new build! We built and put up the flooring system (giant beams of wood nailed together that were super heavy!). It was cool to finally do some more work on a new build and switch it up from doing touch-up work. It was also nice to be working with the whole team the last couple days instead of being split up on different worksites, although I am always happy doing whatever work, wherever they send me :) Our last work day, Thursday, was a half day and then we headed to the bowling alley for a HFHMGC Holiday/going away party with the entire staff there. We were all split up in different lanes so we got to meet some people from the office and it was really fun! We also got lots of free pizza and soda which was amazing! It was a great way to end our working period with Habitat, but it also made me really sad, because that was the last time I was going to see them for awhile. It was, as always, a bittersweet day.
That night, there was also a Holiday/going away dinner for us at Camp Victor, with turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, casseroles, and a ton of delicious dessert choices! Later that night, my team put a giant mural of our mascot, the Gangstasaurus on the wall, leaving River 5's mark for all to enjoy. It was a pleasant ending to an amazing round :)
Hey Sweetie,
ReplyDeleteReally cranking on the computer today, aren't you?? Not that we mind. It's always fun to read what you've written. :) You sure have learned a lot so far in AmeriCorps! You go, girl! I'm thinking you'll be able to build your own home and do all your landscaping by the time you finish your AmeriAssignments. Nice!
