Habitat Update!

I've been meaning to post an update on how our Habitat with Humanity volunteer day went. We worked with a project called a Brush with Kindness, that basically takes homes that are already built and helps fix them up. Our job that day was to do a little roofing action! I (Blanca) was honestly a little scared about getting on the roof at first, but once you get up there, it's not so bad. :) We were split into groups, and some of us laid shingles, while others did prep work.

We had a great time, and the homeowner was there as well, so it was cool to get to meet the person whose house we were helping to fix. I had a great time! Roofing is actually kind of fun! And we got to use really cool tools. :)

We're hoping to continue volunteering with Habitat twice a year.

Thanks to those of you who volunteered!

And sorry I have no pictures to post...it's funny how i'm a photographer, and yet I always seem to forget to bring my camera along when I'm not working...
