Yesterday morning I flew into LAX, met up with about 10 of my squad mates, and the ADVENTURE BEGAN!  

          We spent about 5 hours in the airport just hanging out waiting for teamates to arrive/runnnning from terminal to terminal to pick people up!  This was partially because we were SO excited to see each other, but also because everyone overpacked & needed help carrying things!!! so crazy!

       After we picked everyone up, we grabbed a taxi and headed to the hostel.  Now, I am from little old ND, and we do not have hostels there.  So, I was imagining a room full of bunk beds, & random strangers!  To my suprise we are staying at basically a cheap hotel!  10 people in 2 rooms who are sleep deprived, and excited results in 
               *  Hacky-sack fights (much like a snowball fight)
               *  Spades
               *  Singing Random disney, country, & soundtrack songs

      That was all within a couple hours!  Then today we attended a taping of the game show "Let's Make a Deal" with Wayne Brady!  SO fun!  HOwever, we had our first taste of rain.  IT rained ALLL DAY.  Did I mention we waited outside in lines all day! In the rain!?   Did we Complain?  No, we made Jordan sing random soul/gospel songs!   Yes, we had lots of looks! 🙂   Sadly, no one had the chance to win any money, but we definitely had a good time! And I am pretty positive between Brian dressing like a hillbilly, Courtney and I dressing like Go GO Girls, Jake a Rasta-man, & all of us singing and dancing, we got on tv a couple times!!!   

    I am so excited for this journey!   Thank you to everyone and anyone that has supported me in anyway!  I am forever grateful!  I cannot wait to share all of my experiences with you!   

LOVE YOU ALL!! MISS YOU!! GOD BLESSSSSSS!
