SATURDAYYY WOOOO

Luckily today we were able to catch a few extra Zzz's. Our day started at around 9 am when we got to the Habitat for Humanity store in Roanoke Rapids. There was a big warehouse run by Mr. Sherman full of used items (furniture, books, and other KNICK KNACKS). This warehouse is run by volunteers who contribute to organizing and selling the various items. All the money made in the store goes into building the Habitat homes.

We worked with Mr. Sherman and the Landers to rearrange and organize the merchandise. There was a lot of heavy lifting and tidying up involved. Among the 16 of us, we were able to accomplish quite a lot! GO TEAM!

Overall, while it might not seem like much, our contributions to Habitat made us feel very accomplished. The Landers and Mr. Sherman were extremely grateful to us, and to be able to help out such a wonderful cause was an amazing experience. It made us realize how much is involved in the building of these homes. It involves much more than gathering materials and putting houses together. A large amount of fundraising is required, and all the work that goes into the store is accomplished through volunteers. We are very grateful to have been given this opportunity to help out such a worthy cause that is doing great things for others.

So.... after working and ambushing McDonalds with the 15 of us chicks (and Chris), we headed back home. We were able to catch the Ravens/Broncos game which was an upset for some and a victory for others. Then we ATTEMPTED to get down at a local hoedown at club Chattahoochie. Unfortunately, the club was closed, so instead some of us learned how to line dance at the house. YEE HAW

Much love ya'll,
Stephanie & Aditi
