We say goodbye, you say hello!

Before I get into my Top 10 for ASB Week #2, let me say that I miss you guys! I miss being able to walk down the Hallway and see the faces of people that I admire and care about so much every day. For everyone there for the final 2 weeks of ASB, don't let one moment slip by without taking advantage of it! You only get to be around 150 people like this once a year after all.


Alright, on with my Top 10 Most-Fantastically-Amazing ASB Moments Ever.

10. The first night when all of the TL's arrived. It was like only a day had passed since Storm Corps and to see all of you guys again was surreal. Picking up where we left off was so much fun and I can't wait to see you guys sometime soon!
9. Coming face-t0-face with my first 'mudbug', or actually a gigantic bag full of them. Thank you, Adam & Brian, for that life-changing encounter. I doubt I'll ever be the same.


8. Meeting my team! It was a little daunting, to say the least. All I cared about was making sure that they left ASB feeling excited about volunteering, with tons of new friends, and without the urge to kill their TL's. I'm pretty sure Keerun and I succeeded, thankfully. The Quackerjacks were a crazy bunch of dirrty ducks but you guys made every day fun and I appreciate all the patience and hard work you put forth during the work. You know I love you so I'll shut up now...

7. Ice Ice Baby. Girls just wanna have fun. Summer lovin'. Nasty Boys. Need I say more???

6. I saw my first gator! I was ready to wrestle one like the guys from Animal Planet but for the sake of saving my limbs, I opted to take a friendly photo from inside our van and live to tell about it. :D

5. The tour. The tour. The tour. It was humbling to see that that kind of devastation still exists nearly 2 years after Rita hit. I think that the tour brought everything home for us as volunteers. It allowed us to see why were in Lake Charles rather than New Orleans or other cities. There's a way to cure Rita Amnesia and it starts with taking what we saw and heard that day and throughout the week and sharing it with as many people as possible.

4. Bowling! So what if I didn't hit a single pin (I kid you not.) the entire evening.

3. One word: SONIC.

2. Going to the Gator Park with the QJ's...I don't think they'll have that kind of excitement in their lives for some time to come! At least the ducks were friendly...

1. Meeting each and every one of you guys. You're all unbelievable and I can't wait until next year! Much love from Georgia! :)
