North Carolina

The time has come to sign up for the Habitat for Humanity trip to North Carolina. It is going to be so great. I always look forward to getting out of Indiana. I can hardly stand it right now, Thanksgiving break will not get here fast enough. There are so many skills to learn and so many new people to meet through Habitat. I went on the trip last year and had a blast. Our group put shingles on a whole house, we also began to run the electrical wires when we needed to work inside due to weather on the last day. I got to see the ocean, and it was truly amazing. I always thought it would be just like lake Michigan, but it is so much more powerful than that. It was like 50 degrees out and one of our group members decided it would be a great idea for them to jump in for a quick dip. Probably not the best idea but it was all in fun. We got to sleep on army cots at a construction depot that doubled as a used housewares store. We got crazy at night an rode around on an automatic pallet jack as well as went on treasure hunts throughout the store. I think that we drove our sponsor crazy. All in all it was a great life experience that I will never forget and I feel privileged to be able to go again this year.
