Hey guys,
I finally made it back to DC. New Orleans was amazing and heartbreaking and awe-inspiring and everything else you could imagine it would be. I saw a lot of destroyed homes. People there don't have gas, electricity, and sometimes water. I was put on Emergency Response Vehicles (ervs) and handed out anywhere from 600-800 meals a day. I had clients start to cry on me; I got asked out on dates by crazy New Orleaneans, and made a lot of friends with the Red Cross volunteers. My team also had a blast on Bourbon street and scooping endless vats of carrots into foam containers. Yum. It's been a little crazy around here since 6 teams just returned from Disaster Relief, and most of them are deploying to a spike location. We get to stay in DC. I'm excited about the Christmas lights and decorations that will surely be up in the nations capitol. I'll actually have email and blog capabilities for the next 3 weeks and then I'm back in Arkansas!!!!!!!! I'll be home the 21st through the 8th. I can't wait to see everyone and update you periodically with much funnier, less rushed blog entries. I love you guys!

My best friend and I are coming to DC the day after Christmas thru New Years. I've never been and am so excited. By they way, I'm a friend of Kat's who entered the blogging community that included Elizabeth, Leah, Emily, etc., which is how I happened upon here.
We love you too! I'm glad you get a break. I can't even imagine what it takes to work where you were. Can't wait to see you this x-mas!
