Rally...Rallly...Rally!

Last week Students Taking Active Roles Today (the SPEA organization of which I am co-president) sponsored Rally for Service Week. There were a number of opportunities for service, including Penny Wars, which raised over $400 for the Shalom Center in Bloomington and Mother Bear's Pizza Night which raised $300 for Giving Back to Africa.

I was so excited to see all the money raised for charity, all the items donated to Goodwill, food donated for Hoosier Hills Food Bank, and the number of beautiful cards made for the women and children of Middleway House!

Here's some of the START team...getting silly! Haha!

Here's the crew!

The winning rally team was....Suzzy's Shalom Center Team!
(Can't you tell she's excited! She was calling her team members to share the good news!)

Me and Andrew pulling a Vana White with the Rally sign.

Here are all the Rally penny war jugs!

It's been too long...

Spring Break is here, and I finally have a chance to post an update! Things have been going well in Bloomington and have clearly been busy (thus explaining the fact that I haven't posted anything since January! gah!).

Here are some pics from Spring Break! Hope to post more of an update soon!

Visiting the Louisville Zoo:
And Jack was a man on the move!

He was SO excited to point out all the animals he saw. Here he was inside the Lorikeet Landing, showing Grandma Frankie all the birds!

Mike made friends with a few Lorikeets!

Frankie with Jack and Reese. Reese was not very excited about the birds on Mike's arm.

Feed the birds...tuppence a bag....

He thought the bird was preparing for liftoff -- straight into his ear! haha!

I think Jack would have reached out and touched the birds. He seemed really excited!

Mike kept thanking me for coming...but I don't think he realized how much fun I had! Now, I just hope we can spend some fun times with Anna and Benjamin soon!
