What an amazing week! It has taken me a few days to really process what
went on in that 10 day time span and I’m still not quite sure I’ve
processed it all. T SQUAD RULES!!! I love my squad, squad leader (Noe
I’m sure I’ll like you too when I meet you), and my TEAM! My team’s
name is team RAPHA, which means “healer” in Hebrew.

I have a
feeling that I won’t be able to crank out a real blog for a few  more
days so I’m going to repost some of what my dear Usquader friend, Carrie, said in her TC blog. Mostly because I’m lazy and I think she’s really funny.

-finger print commitments

-who knew Georgia was so cold?

-declarations

-downtown atlanta farmers’ market!!!

-starbucks….and consuming all the sugar/fat we’ve missed all in one sitting

-daddy long legs- I’ve never seen so many

yoga….LOVED IT!!!!!!!!! I love that the World Race promotes healthy
lifestyles. I knew I liked them for a reason.

-the “contagious”, “unconscious”, & those
“missing
limbs”— what a crazy exercise! made me love the girls on my squad

-mistaking audio book characters for real life
friends

-not caring that you smell of campfire because you
know it
covers the body odor

-squad wars and vomit meters (ps I think we should have won this- if only because Roberto dominated on the gallon challenge!!)

-late night tent chats with Carrie (love these)

-normal is different

-TEAM RAPHA!!!!
