So, it's Tuesday... a group of us laid some tie flooring. It was the sap together kind which was VERY interesting... until we got the hang of it. We had to make it as tight as possible to make it seamless. We then helped the pastor here at the church we live in move, dinner and played some 4 on 4 basketball with the interns and a couple people on my team. Got kind of intense... I don't think guys are used to us girls being actually pretty good at sports (SUCKERS :-)). Monday the whole team was back at digging the 85 foot ditch, although there was one big problem, it had rained a ton and the ditch was still filled with 8 inches of water so they made us bucket the water out. It didn't take long to do that but the water kept seeping in and the mud was a lot harder to dig up. We almost got the ditch the right length Monday... just in time for it to down pour all last night... woohoo I'm sure we will be back to bucketing tomorrow. We are hoping we will be able to finish the flooring we started tomorrow but I guess we will have to wait and see.
Galveston this past weekend was a blast. It turned out to be the cities Mardi Gras celebration which included a lot of people and 3 different parades on Saturday. Our hotel was right on the ocean and the road that the parades were on which was perfect (I kind of thought of the ocean as Lake Superior or a large lake which was really funny). It was so beautiful out which made for the perfect Saturday away on our little mini "vacation". The weekend went by very fast but it was a wonderful success. We got back Sunday evening just in time to meet the rest of the team at a bar to watch the Super Bowl... me in my Vikings of course :-)
This weekend most of the team is headed to New Orleans for Mardi Gras but I look forward to having a very laid back weekend here in Orange. I have yet to be here relaxing at the church for a whole weekend so it will be wonderful. Especially not having to spend money or drive 5 hours back on Sunday. Tomorrow (along with all Wednesdays) we are unable to make dinner here so we are heading into town for dinner and a little shopping after PT of course...
Time for bed and what will hopefully be a good nights sleep!!
Pictures to come...
Love and Miss everyone from home lots
