Birthday Lovin'

So my project has come and gone and I am deep into transition now. It is nice to be with the team leaders and even nicer to be closing out the last projects. We looked up and called over 10,000 organizations and got 1000 to confirm interest in the Adopt a Katrina Family initiative. We are in the process of making a video and updating the website. Though it was good to help so many people with this last project, my team has had a great deal of "thinker" projects and I am ready to move on to some "doing."

We travel to our next project this coming Saturday. We will be saving oyster reefs in Savannah, Georgia for a month while living out of hotel rooms. I think it is going to be a really fun, busy project.

This last weekend my friends spoiled me for my birthday! I got packages from Mom and Dad, Kate, Mia and Sarah and letters from Grandma and Grandpa, Carrie, Walter, Grace, Aunt Susy and Uncle Sandy and more and more are coming. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!

Also, here in Vicksburg, my friends took care of me. Jordan brought me to a lovely picnic at a secret waterfall in the Military Park. Then a bunch of my friends went out to a movie with me then drove an hour to Jackson because I wanted real pizza (which you can't really get in Vicksburg). Then on Sunday, my friends brought me to champaign brunch and bought me a bunch of birthday noisemakers, table decorations and a tiara :) Then both my team and tls made me cakes. What a great birthday!

Now I am getting ready for a week of trainings and preparing to leave for Savannah!

Miss you all! Thanks for all the Birthday Lovin'!
