Power Tools.

Training is in full swing and I couldn't be more anxious to go out on our first Spike! (project) In the past few days I have managed to get myself certified in CPR and First Aid (i'm pretty sweet at splinting and slinging) Tuesday and Wednesday found me learning about and getting certified in Disaster Relief..which basically means I can now help start and run a shelter...(it was kind of a review for me because for a bit there 11 Pratt St. Athens, Ohio was a shelter..or hostel. ha.) Today was the MOST important day in training. BLACK AND DECKER UNIVERSITY. Yep. That's Right. I got myself trained in power tools. Drills, saws and nails guns GALORE.  Not only did i get trained in power tools but i had to sport my steel toed boots while doing it. That is surely a sentence i never imagined myself saying. 

Tonight Team Leader Phillip Anthony Smith...TONY..is taking our team out for dinner. He's buying. Whatta guy. Our team dynamic is hilarious. After a week we are already pretty comfortable with each other. There are a few crazies, some shy guys and a few inbetweenie weenies. (Mom & Dad, Tony keeps asking me where i came from and if he will ever get to meet you fine folks...i guess i'm a "crazy"..) We still havent found out where we are being sent to for first round but I. CANT. WAIT! 

One thing that is pretty cool that i havent mentioned is the fact that we get free access to the YMCA. They have an awesome weight/cardio room and a pool. Tony tries to take us a few times a week. I have definitely been taking advantage of that and i can now run 4 miles. in one day. without stopping. whoa. 

I will try to post some more pictures soon! OVER. AND. OUT.
