today

So, today megan molly and I felt a great sense of accomplishment because we dry walled a whole wall and a half by our selves. Although we got frustrated at times, we continued working hard and by the time we finished the wall and a half the whole room was done. Today was hot, our house wasn't air conditioned like the other so we were all sweating and i came home with a wet shirt and a dirty body only to come home to a small ant filled 5 minute shower.

I'm not going to lie this trip has been a bit disappointing because for one we didn't get to meet the come owner at the Veronica House. It would always be nice to see the reaction on the home owners face seeing everyone working on their house. Another reason I am really disappointed is because I feel like there is so much to be done here still! Its been almost three years since the hurricane hit and i don't see a very drastic change from last year. The neighborhoods around here are still very deserted, and not connected which makes me realize why people don't want to move back here.

Anyways me and megan wrote a rap today about our hero lil wayne. I am going to go to bed though because we had a long day and im tired.

Tiling? Drywalling? You kids could set up a business of your own when you return! You're amazing!!

Another COOL morning here in the Land of the North. It's still too cold even for mosquitoes --though I'm sure they'll eventually rise to the occasion.

Thinking of you always....
