UPDATES

It has been a REALLY long time since I have updated. Getting to the internet and having enough time to do everything I need to do is tough.

We are working at the Noxubee Wildlife Refuge still, working on several different projects and conducting prescribed burns. We've been having a TON of fun. Working hard and getting things done. We have had a bit of ups and downs with our team, including one member leaving and going to another team. That was tough, but it seems to be for the best.

Last weekend myself and two girls from our team traveled to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! We had a wonderful, safe time. We were able to see the many different sides of Mardi Gras including the Bayou Cajuns, Uptown Parades, Mid-City Zulu Parade, and the French Quarter. It was great! We stayed with some friends from RTNO and were able to see a bunch of different people that we know down there. There are some pictures to show some of the floats.

We just found out we will be going to Taylors, South Carolina next round and Theodore, Alabama. In SC we will be working for a camp for special needs children and in AL we will be working for a Food Bank. I'm really excited to travel to another state and work for an organization that is associated to what I hold most dear to my heart. The camp will be fun and we will be doing a lot of different types of work to help get ready for the summer sessions.

In other news, I've started hearing back from Graduate schools. I will be traveling to Tempe, AZ for an interview at ASU! I was also waitlisted at the University of Washington, which isn't the best news but is not totally bad either. I'm sure I will be hearing back from the rest soon enough, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

So, below are some pictures of what we have been up to lately!
