Hey y'all from Nashville

That's how people say hello here! This trip has been amazing so far. We got into the car, and drove to Ohio, where we stayed the first night. Then we drove to robbins TN.
We found our "home" for the next week, after a little navigating and asking the locals. The people that were "hosting" us, were Chuck and Becky Miller, they were amazing and so, so, nice. Our house was a little small but it was quant! It was camping bunk-bed style. Our first day started off slow, we arrived at the habitat head quarters and met almost everyone who we would be working with over the next, they were all so nice and wanted to hear all about us, and where we were from. The first day we were at a site that the house was already built, so we picked stuff up, and landscaped, while talking with all the workers. The second day was the same, with tons of relaxing and talking and play games.
This is where it gets interesting. On the third day we were brought to a house that only had the foundation and we were able to finish the whole thing!
I helped build a deck and that was the most rewarding thing. We were very sad to leave but were able to spend a night in Nashville. I love it here. It's warm, and all the people are nice. Today we went to the Country Music Hall of Fame. This afternoon we are going to drive more of the way, and maybe stop in Memphis. I can't wait to get to Geenville or Geenvole as the locals would say and help build an other house. I know it will be an other amazing week. Look for updates coming soon.

Hi Mal - Just discovered your web site. It's great! Sounds like y'all are having a good time with more to come. Keep your thumb away from the hammer. Talk to you later.

Hey Mal!
I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you. I had a dream about you last night and was so upset when I woke up this morning and you weren't in my arms. Everyday when I walk to class I look forward to seeing your glorious face, I get so disapointed when I realize that you are not around. It's going to be tough waiting for you for the next couple of weeks, I can't wait for your return. See you soon. Be safe, make sure you come back to me in one piece! XOXO
