i've been priiiiiiiiiiitty diligent about taking a photo (or 2 or 5) a day so ill just post those and then talk about each one. i'm thinking that this is how my blogs will be this summer with the occasional supplemental blog here and there.
may 27, 2011 - this was my room the night before i left for training. messy, messy, messy!
may 28, 2011 - waiting to board the plane from dallas, tx to atlanta, ga!!!
may 29, 2011 - our team building activity was world changer's version of "the amazing race", which basically amounted to a huge scavenger hunt around our area of georgia. my lovely music leader, candace, had to persuade some people who were tubing this river to let her sit in their tube and get a picture of it. she's a good sport!
i also think it's important to let you know that the first challenge in our amazing race was to shoot a bow and arrow at a target. you had to hit the target within 5 tries or your team had 10 minutes added to their total time. i was the archer that day and i got a bull's eye after 2 shots that completely missed the target. i didn't get a picture of it, but i promise that it happened. the arrow was like a centimeter from the center!
may 30, 2011 - monday was packing day for all of our projects in the world changers warehouse. it took us from 8 in the morning until around 4 in the afternoon the get everything packed. i made the mistake of wearing jeans that day. needless to say, it was hot.
may 31, 2011 - we packed medical supplies and did driving school that day. i was on a team of people packing band aids for each individual first aid kit for the summer. thats close to 500 first aid kits. lots and lots and lots of counting. lots and lots and lots of band aids.
the picture below is of my team leader/av, matt. he was in the middle of explaining how he used to pretend that the salt and pepper shakers were a bride and groom. how cute!
oh, and driving school? i was hack awesome. we learned how to pull a trailer behind an expedition. before this week i had never had to pull anything behind a vehicle, and i had never driven anything bigger than a small truck. i'm pretty pro at both now. too bad i'm considered a "secondary driver" cause of my age.
june 1, 2011 - wednesday was the lovely jillian's 22nd birthday! she's also and office manager and we all had cake (decorated with pink and yellow frosting, of course) and homemade cookies and cream ice cream. y.u.m. she's been such a great friend and blessing to me while i've been here! i couldn't have asked for a sweeter person to help me through this time of training!
june 2, 2011 - some of the real work began that day. we learned about our central information system and how to use it. we also had some "homework" to complete. it was tough and a little overwhelming, but i got through it and i think i'm gonna be fine! most of the work isn't that hard, it's just time consuming or tedious. nbd.
i also got my official staff badge!!! i was so excited to get it! too bad i look like a 12 year old boy in the picture!
june 3, 2011 - friday gets 3 pictures! the first is of some of the office managers playing catch phrase during one of our breaks. we play lots of games, but catch phrase is definitely the favorite and we all get so competetive!
candace and i did laundry that day! this is us in the teeny tiny little laundry room in the dorm. the washer i was sitting on would visibly shake. i was a little afraid it would esssplode...it didn't.
and the last is a picture of the "north pole girls". aren't we cute?! jillian, in the red, and caroline, in the grey, were 2 of my summer staffers for the north pole, alaska trip that i went on last summer. they are both so sweet!
well thats all of the pictures that i have for now. hope you enjoyed them!
