Greetings from Milligan College, in Johnson City, Tennessee.
We had our last day in the office as a group of 16 til the end of the summer. It was a sad day. Friday morning Team Somethin Somethin left the CIY office, headed east. Getting up early and facing a 14 hour drive ahead of us was made easier by the lovely ladies Kim Possible, Rachel Heath, Amanda Kobisky, and Molly Kruse. We had a whole Rubbermaid tub full of homemade cookies, chex mix, and other snacks and a Transformers coloring book. :) They are pretty much the best ever. We love them. Oh, and they all decided to put a purple streak in the back of their hair, just for fun. Rachel's scalp turned purple, so we decided to stay away from the hair dye for the evening.
We stopped a few hours into the trip in St Louis at Jimmy John's (Dirty Steve's favorite) with the team headed to Indiana, before we parted ways for a few weeks. Followed by many hours of sleeping in the car. When it got to be about 11 at night and we still had a couple of hours to go, Team Somethin Somethin got slap happy. We now have a team song - Breakeven by The Script. Playing drums is Chad Brown. Other (bouncing) drums is Eric Epperson. Brandon is the back up dancer, while the rest of the team does vocals. It's really quite the sight, and the team song is never listened to unless everyone is present. The Milligan Summer Staff greeted us with a basket of goodies! Including gummi worms!!!!
Today, we did a lot of the setting up of the productions and most of the station is set up! For the first time unloading the truck and getting started on set up, it went fairly smoothly. :) After cleaning up, we went to dinner, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and Target. Everything is fun with these people!! Always a good laugh. Now, we are watching Mystery Science Theater. The boys think it is really funny.... Us girls don't quite get the humor.
Now we have to have a paragraph regarding the fact that Kenzi is not clumsy. She just happens to have "bad luck"....? Today, she whacked Phoenix in the face with our team's spirit stick, got her finger smashed in the truss crank, elbowed Brandon in the head,has a hurt wrist, etc. Just another day in Kenzi's life.
We are very much looking forward to Bible College Representatives (BC reps) getting here within the next couple of days, and the students arriving on Monday to get our first week of MOVE started! :)
1. I would like to point out that it's really just Kenzi's "spirit stick", and it's more of a "karma stick".
ReplyDelete2. Not ALL the boys thought it was hilarious, but it helps to actually watch, instead of writing your blog and adding drive-by criticism ;-)
3. I still have our song stuck in my head.
4. I know lists are ridiculous, but I'm an Achiever, it's what I do!
