Today we continued construction on the Habitat for Humanity House and ate lunch at the Habitat for Humanity Georgetown County Office and going to eat dinner at the Admiral's Inslet and attending the Carolina Opry. Friday we are going to the Brookegreen Gardens. Saturday we are leaving for the airport.

Today I was working on the windows of the house on the front and back. I had to take some breaks because I was overheating, not cool. Ed and I had to carry the ladders back to the shed. Last night we played minature golf. It was a lot of fun. I had a great time just hanging out with everyone. Ducks were right at the door and it was weird but good weird if you know what I mean. Ryan and Jen each got a hole in 1. Please read this blog people. If you don't want to you don't have to. Misty and I saw two frogs at the house. I got a picture with it lol. There are quite a few more adventures for us.

got sick today. stayed in. i felt guilty because i have waited so long to volunteer and now that its time i couldnt deliver. i woke up today and felt bottomed out. i started yelling at jen and that is when i knew that my attitude was failing. that means all else was failing as well. i ate and hurled up the whole thing. that was awful i did not sleep well last night jenifers phone kept going off with texts. i felt like i woke up not at all. after i woke up i felt like going back to bed and sleeping. once i woke up i still felt bad. i puked again and was glad i stayed home at the same time.

Today we started the Habitat for Humanity. It was good to start today. Let me tell you something it was hard work, but that is what is required. We were working on the house from 7:00 in the morning too 11:00 in the afternoon. Got some bug bites. Afterwards we went to the church to have lunch. I thought the meal was delicious although I could have had it without the spaghetti hahahaha. Peach cobbler was awesome well I thought it was. The salad was spectacular. All of us toured the church and we went in the chapel. In the chapel I played the piano and sang Let It Be by the Beatles and Break Down by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers which Ed put on video and the best part is he is going to put it on facebook yey me. Georgetown was quite a splendid place. I walked around the shops. The shops were very interesting. Please feel free to read this. Family, friends I can't wait to tell you about this amazing journey. I am having an amazing time. I love you all and miss you. I got something for my girlfriend. Shh it's a surprise for her so don't tell her.

Today was my first day volunteering for habitat. I hammered nails. the guy chris gave me the wrong nails twice. it got better once the old guys showed up espically the one called the doctor. he didnt say what kind of doctor he was it remains a mystery but he showed me how to move the pieces of wood around and he sent me to hammering nails in the weather stripping with my own little ladder. well not that it was mine per say but it was nice to use it. i felt bad because near the end of the day they needed ladder, but i didnt want to give mine up. it was rough at first but i was amazed by how well i did hammering nails.
