There is a lot of beauty in good conversations. Nicki and I spent time with the Cline's (the owners of our local hardware store) and one of our homeowners today, engaged in respectively happy and sad conversations. Learning more about people and their lives brings us closer to them, and I love that. We even learned a new phrase-- "She's as sweet as shit on shingles" which refers to gravy with sausage bits in it. I decided that's how we'll introduce it to our volunteers at breakfast from now on.

Today was incredibly productive. Nicki and I managed to go on four Initial Home Visits and we found some pretty amazing new projects. Our work will really help turn a few lives around. Nick told me that IHVs never fail to remind her why we're here working with ASP. I definitely agree. So, the small reminder that I'm blessed to work for an organization that is literally changing lives..that's pretty beautiful.

Although I'm pretty sure that I saw a human skeleton on the side of the road today (still unconfirmed... may have been a deer) I was still able to find some beauty: we got free and delicious Mexican food for lunch today!
Also, we finished this promotional video this week! Look for some familiar faces :)
