NOLA, here I come again!

Before I get to my weekly update I have to share the most exciting news of all of CTI...
WE FINALLY FOUND OUT OUR PERMANENT TEAMS AND WHERE WE ARE GOING AND WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR OUR FIRST SPIKE! I'm on Sun 3, team leader Scott, 10 teammates, and we're going to New Orleans to work on houses with Habitat for Humanity!

I've done work after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita down in New Orleans (and Gulfport, Mississippi) before and am curious to see what has been done since I've been there last. I'm also excited to be able to work with Habitat and more rebuilding efforts since that's the thing I've wanted to do the most while in NCCC.

Last weekend I did some ISP hours with a group, helping out at the Denver Police Department's annual Halloween carnival. I got to take pictures of kids with police officers. It was cute.

This week consisted of CPR and first aid training and certification with the American Red Cross, diversity training, and a unit day involving a mini-hike and a few free hours in downtown Boulder.

I spotted a crazy huge house in the middle of the mountains in Boulder, CO. That would probably make a verrrry nice vacation home.

After we found out permanent teams towards the end of the week, the rest of the week included more meetings, spike prep work, and an ISP helping out a clinic that was giving H1N1 vaccines.

5 more days of CTI then we're hittin' the road to NOLA!
