Nashville

Okay, this is going to be long.

We can't add pictures until we get back, most likely, which really stinks, but oh well...Here is how our trip has been so far:

We left on Friday, April 29th. On Friday we drove to Colombus, Ohio where we spent the night. We stopped in Cleveland for dinner at a chain Chinese restaurant called P.F. Changs. It was really good. We spent the night at a Microtel. The next morning we drove to Lexington, Kentucky. We spent a lot of time touring Kentucky. It was beautiful in Lexington. We went to the Kentucky Horse Park and we saw some famous race horses. It was a lot of fun. We then drove to our first building destination in Robbins, Tennessee.

Robbins was a great site to start building at. On Monday we spent the day spreading dirt and doing other landscaping type of things. That was a lot of work, but it was fun. We were doing the work on Monday and on Tuesday at some apartments that Habitat had already built. On Tuesday we went to the same apartments and did more dirt spreading and build some sort of irrigation system. We also went to go see Sahara as a group (on Monday). It only cost us one dollar to get into the movie!!! ONE DOLLAR!!! On Wednesday we worked at a site further away. We spent the day building the floor to the house. We also had dinner at a local church. On Thursday we put up the walls for the house and started a front and side porch, and on Friday we finished the porch. It was soo much fun and the team we worked with was soo great.

Today we are in Nashville and we are just getting ready to leave. We should be in Greenville, Mississippi tomorrow!!!!! It is hard to believe we may work with a group even equally as great as the one we spent this past week with, but I hope we do!!

Anyway...I don't have time to add anymore right not...I'll write more when I can!
