christmas break/ transition week/ travel

oh my goodness, i am so behind. i tried to update my blog during transition week but the internet was entirely too slow.
SO, here we are!
on december 18th i arrived at the denver international airport for my second time in order to fly back to sc. i spent two weeks at home enjoying being with my family and friends and just back in sc. i truly missed everyone and everything so much. it was wonderful.
transition week was relaxed. we only did a couple of things a day since everyone had to do the same things all in one week. there were about three inches of snow in places the whole time i was there. it was quite cold but beautiful. it was nice getting to see everyone back on campus and talk about our break and what we would be doing round two. and it was really exciting for my team to finally get to prepare to leave for a spike seeing as last round we were local.
i was in denver from sunday night until saturday morning. and then we left for spike travel! saturday morning we rode out at about 8:30 and stopped every two hours for a break. we drove through colorado, new mexico and into texas on saturday. we arrived in amarillo at seven that night at our hotel. we left early sunday morning and spent the whole day driving through texas until we arrived in tyler around four or so at our hotel. monday we drove the rest of the way through texas and through louisiana until we finally made it to new orleans around 4:30.
for now that's all yall get! :) i'll update my blog again on saturday with a weekly report!
xoxo,
