Spike project number one: check.
I'm really happy to be back from our first round project. I will miss the beauty of our surroundings and the amazing staff that we got to work with over the last few months but I am so excited to start our next project! After a week of debrief and clearance meetings we're gonna make our way to the coast! My team is off to Bay St. Louis to work with Habitat for Humanity! At first we were going to live at Camp Coast Care in a trailer with another AmeriCorps team, it seemed ok.. still a step up from some of our previous living conditions. Howeverrrrrr a few days ago we found out we will actually be living in a house! For us to live at Camp Coast Care Habitat had to pay some ridiculous amount of money so instead they got us a house! Its a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom (with at least one half bath) and a huge porch! We're only a few blocks from the downtown area and..drumroll.... the beach!!! I'm so excited. I cannot wait to work with Habitat and learn all these new crazy construction skills!
Strange though, when we got back to Vicksburg on Friday, I felt like I was home. Its odd to me how just 10 weeks ago I was a stranger in this town. I now have so many memories here. The Yazoo River is such a special place to me. It feels like home here. These people are my family. I love it.
