Closing time, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

Sunday night, and only 2 more days to go in Buchanan County. We're beginning to wrap up all of the close-out work, which pretty much consists of me taking all of the final pictures of homes and putting all of the families' information in an internet databse. I've been doing lots of computer work and stuff like that, but today we took apart a lot of our office and sleeping quarters.. it's so weird! The school pretty much looks like a school again and I don't like it one bit. I am excited though because I found out where I'll be once I leave here-- me, Becky and Kyle are going to Jonesville in Lee County (where training was!), and Tayli and Spencer are going to Johnson County. I'm suuuuper pumped because a.) there are only two work crews in Lee this week so that means that being a "helping hand" is going to be really easy, and b.) because i love the staff there and I usually go there for my days off anyways and c.) I won't have to move all of my stuff more than once from another county. Yay!

Today we had a great staff bonding day, we visited a bunch of families and said goodbye :-( It was really hard to say goodbye to one homeowner who we nicknamed Dolla. He's the sweetest old man, and even though he talks in circles and has the memory of a fruit fly, he's definitely the homeowner who I've gotten closest with. For whatever reason I always get closest with elderly homeowners because I love listening to their life stories! They're so wise and have a really dry sense of humor which I absolutely eat up. He reminds me a lot of my Papa.. though my grandpa was a tad sharper in the mind before he passed.

The pic of all of us is from our COMPLETED ROOM ADDITION PROJECT!! It's b-e-a-utiful!

Anywayssss after we said bye to families we stopped on top of the Poplar mountain nearby and just hung out-- it was so nice being able to enjoy being outside without having a time limit on it! We didn't have to worry about volunteers coming or going to GL meetings.. best Sunday yet by far. Saw a movie at the theatres tonight which was nice to get out, and now we're about to put in Anchorman and hit the sack. I'm a tad homesick, but I'm going to be really upset when we pull out of Russell Prater Elementary for good.
