About to go

We leave on Friday morning for Auburn! I am very excited but I can't believe training is almost all over. I feel prepared but also nervous for the first visit. I will be helping at Auburn instead of being the only ELC so that will be a good way to ease into things. I then will be heading to LSU for a couple of days and then New Orleans for five days. I am so excited!

We have had another whirlwind of a week. We have been training but also had two days off. We went shopping, saw Indianapolis and went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Seeing Indianapolis was really nice because it is a very cute and clean city and we finally got around to seeing the middle of the downtown. It was a relaxing evening full of lots of pictures. In front of the Civil War monument (in the center of town) there were a bunch of police on their motorcycles just hanging out and they let us get on the motorcycles and take a picture it was really fun.

The next day we went to the Indianapolis Speedway. The Speedway is where the Indy 500 is. There were a bunch of cars in the museum we saw and then there was a tour that took you around the speedway and into the Press buildings etc. It was really fun and we got to "Kiss the Brick" which is where the Indy 500 race starts. The speedway used to be made of bricks but then they paved over it and saved only three feet of the brick (where the race starts and ends). So we got out of the bus and took a big picture of us all kissing it... kind of gross.

We have two days left and are going to hang out and start packing and getting ready for our life one the road! Most of the other ELCs are going home since not everyone needs to go to Auburn but the rest of us are packing for the year straight from here.

I still miss you all!
