You gotta have faith, baby.
I spent last week in Georgia meeting the 34 people that I am going to be spending the next 11 months of my life with. I was SO nervous. They were strangers from all over the world.
It didn’t take long for the strangers to turn into friends. And it took even shorter for those friends to turn into family. God is good. So good, so good, SO GOOD! (Sweeeeeet Caroline, bum, bum, bum!)
Mid-way through the week, we were broken down into our teams. And, I am happy to say that I am a proud member of Team NEON (aka the coolest team EVER).
This is Team NEON – Marissa, Matt, Will, Megan, Kelly, Me (Kel), and Kristin. What an attractive group!!
Marissa – My bunk-mate from day one. I like Marissa because she never complained about picking up all of my gear that I dropped from my bunk onto hers, and she is so easy going. I admire her independence and her “go with the flow” attitude.
Matt – One of my favorite people ever. Matt is quiet, but is perhaps one of the funniest people I have ever met. I love talking to him as well as harassing him. I love him because he tolerates my harassment with a smile.
Will – Oh, Will Miller. From the first minutes of team-building day, I made it VERY clear that I wanted to work under the leadership of Will Miller. He is a Yankee Hater (amen!) and I love his ability to be a hilarious leader while earning total respect from his team. Mad props to Will’s parents for raising such a cool dude.
Megan – Megan always ensures that we wear our seat belts, and she always ensures that everyone is having a good time. Her laugh NEVER fails to make me laugh. And I love these things about her. Can’t wait to travel the world with her 🙂
Kelly – Oh, Kelly Kramp. That is right – I am Kelly Nicole RAMPmeyer, and she is Kelly Nicole K-RAMP. Let’s focus on how cool that is for a moment. Ahh. Kelly is one of the nicest people I have ever met – she is freaking adorable and is always upbeat and ready for whatever is coming her way. I love her spunk and feisty-ness.
Kristin – I can not say enough nice things about Kristin. She has one of the biggest hearts in the world, and she is just such a loving person. I am still getting used to having a member of the paparazzi around, but her knack for photography is amazing!!
I could say a million nice things about everyone on the I-SQUAD, and I am so blessed to even know them. Can’t wait to see what the next eleven months will bring, but I have the faith that God’s got it. And AMEN to that!
