first real day of cleaning

so we are going to cleain from 9 to 5 for at least seven days. today was day number one! there is so much to be done, but it helps being able to take turns doing different things. we are about done with the kitchen after today. it was filthy! its amazing how much dirt blows in over the winter. lunch is each day at noon and dinner at six. i love mrs. honken's random hugs :) just as much as her cooking.

i took some pictures today... enjoy


here's the obligatory picture before i leave for the airport... thanks mom :)







this is landing in colorado springs. it is so brown here! and pike's peak still has snow on it. jen said that it snowed last week and it was 80 the day before! crazy weather.






this is the front of the hotel.








this is the dining hall. much work to be done!








top bunk! yeah baby. i love the pink they got for us :)









this is my room from last year! kathryn, i told it hello for you







this is the classroom without all of the desks out... weird








mish! one of my roomies. she goes to covanent and i heard clemson beat them in ultimate frisbee. she said when she visited clemson she thought, "what's with all the paw prints?!"






here's the top level of the classroom... and there are the desks! and a random ficus.






angela is on the right, ruthann is in the middle, and thats brian on the left. yay for cleaning the kitchen!
