Since you've heard from me last nothing has been new at all, work-wise at least. Adventure-wise is a different story.
Last weekend (as well as this past weekend) we spend time on a ranch. A United Way board member and her husband own a ranch and they offered their hunting cabin to us for a few weekends...
The first weekend we had a day of events planned for us including: horseback riding, clay shooting, a BBQ, and riding on the back of a pick-up truck into a herd of cattle, steer, and longhorns...
It was an awesome and probably yet another once in a lifetime experience that I've had since joining AmeriCrops NCCC, that's for sure, ha.
That Sunday we took a day trip to Forth Worth to visit the Stock Yards (picture from the Stock Yards shown above), and Billy Bob's Texas (apparently the largest honky tonk in the world!). Earlier that weekend we got the opportunity to take a tour of the Sheppard Air Force Base.
The North Texas Area United Way staff and board members have been BEYOND great to us, they don't mess around! From helping us get media events done to helping us find places for ISPs to providing us with bikes to taking us to dinner in Fort Worth - you name it! - it's been a wonderful experience working with them. They definitely made us feel welcomed and made it feel like home. Not only was it a pleasure to get to work with amazing staff members, United Way itself is a great organization to work with, I'm glad I got to learn so much about their mission and the opportunity to work with them.
ANYWAY, back to the update:
This past week we stayed at the ranch a few nights, Saturday was our last day working taxes at the mall (I know, tear), Sunday was our Day of Service, and today I completed my ISP hours. :)
Well. There's an update for ya'll. EXCEPT! Since I've updated you last we found out our next projects... I'll be heading to Oklahoma City to work with Habitat for Humanity in about a week or so, yay!
In THAT case: coming to you next time from Oklahoma!
