Gotta Love Saturdays!

Best day of the week, by far. Here is my set up here in the lounge. Laptop, projector and a 4 foot screen. Not bad at all right now.

Good Ole Rocky Top... Part II

So I went to the Alabama vs. Tennessee game last night. It was a fun time, but not a good game. Either way, a fun time again.

Sweeney Field

Here is a shot of our awesome wiffle ball field on camp. This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen at a YoungLife camp.

Cherokee 311

That's our lounge. The building we live in is called Cherokee and our lounge is room 311. Just a little facto.

Things have been pretty peachy since the last update. I'm really settling in and enjoying my job. Unfortunately, I'll be leaving the Guest Services department in 2 weeks, but I'm excited to work in Food Service and with a new group of people.

I did get pumped the other day when I thought I was about to kill a "real" snake. Enough of these oversized worms I say! I was down by a creek and heard a rustle. I looked over and there, about 10 feet from me, was a bigin'. By the time I got over to where I saw the snake and grabbed a good size rock, the creeper was gone. I was a little upset to say the least, but maybe it was a good thing. Knowing me, I'd of missed and got bit by some ridiculously poisonous snake.

It's funny to look back at about 2 months ago. Then I was wearing slacks and button ups everyday and working with numbers in a nice office. These days, I'm rocking Carhartt's to work, a knife in my pocket, and a beard that would make Grizzly Adams smile. Well maybe that last part is a bit of a stretch, but a good beard nonetheless.

Goodnight from good ol' Jasper,

Hello October

Well the calendar has changed and we're feeling it. Since October has hit it's been down right cold here in Jasper. I feel like I'm back in Rochester right about now, but it's a nice change.

Not too much new here except that I found out my new job come November. I'll be leaving guest services and moving into Food Service. Should be fun working with the guys in the kitchen and definitely a learning experience.

And lastly, just a few more weeks 'til I head to Gainesville for the Florida game!

See ya,
Mike O.
