Oh, hey! Part two.

Oh, hey again!
Now where did I leave off? Ah, yes disaster relief, so that brings us into third round.

All I have to say is don't be fooled by the beautiful view from Pike's Peak. What happened on Pike's Peak/Bear Creek is staying on Pike's Peak/Bear Creek.On to fourth round shall we?

 

I could have given you the beautiful view we had from our cabin in St. Crispin's, but no. I wanted you to see how I was greeted one morning while going to do trail work, with a dead snake. But honestly this project was amazing! We did trail work, but we also worked with kids whose parents are incarcerated. Tulsa has the highest incarceration rate for women and is third in the country for men. I can't describe to you the impact those youth had on me. Once again, this is a project I will remember forever.

 

And finally , we have come to the end.



I ended how I began, hanging out with my best friends.

The past 10 months have been utterly amazing. I've never been through anything more challenging, but I wouldn't trade a second of it (well maybe some, those cold nights in Bear Creek for starters. I still can't talk about it). I am truly blessed and I can't wait to see what the next 11 months of Americorps will bring! But for now I'm going to relax and bring you some of my summer adventures soon.
love,
