Indian Alarm Clock.

well hello!

i decided to start a blog. we actually have a team blog (rohguatemala2010.blogspot.com) that you can feel free to follow, but i decided i also wanted to do a more personal blog. so please! follow both. :)

anyways! after a crazy morning of graduating high school :D i arrived safely in Charlotte, North Carolina where i was met at the airport by the nicest man, Tom Harvey, who has been my main contact point in this whole trip. After a lovely 20 minute drive we arrived at ROH Headquarters and began orientation that night. But before we began orientation i had a little glimpse into just how wonderful my teammates are. I walked into the kitchen and they all jumped up from behind the counters exclaiming "Congratulations!!" The kitchen was decorated with graduation decorations and they all presented me with cards and gifts. Yes. They. Are. Amazing. So since i didnt get to have a graduation party, they surprised me with one. They even had a cake with Covenant Life's School colors on it and best of all: a cup of ice :) Julia (one of the staff here at headquarters. sweetest thing ever!!) called my mom and asked what i liked. And yes. I love ice chips.

Anyways, us teammates have all hit off very well. We sat around the table till 11 that night and talked and laughed and laughed and talked. Alison, one of the girls, has an alarm clock that goes off saying different things. One of them is "Good morning sunshine! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" in an Indian accent. Funniest thing ever. Hence the post title.

And tomorrow we head off to Guatemala! We are leaving the house at 4am which means we will all be up by 3:30. yeahhhh. BUT WE CANT WAIT!

I myself am so anxious to go. So anxious to finally realize that its not all a dream! cause it still feels like one.

Miss everyone back home of course, but not too badly. It hasnt set in that im going to be gone for two months, cause its only been three (ish) days! :)

Ill post again when im safe and sound in Case Bernabe. In Guatemala!
