Getting to Gatlinburg!

Day 1
Well let me start by telling you the exciting thing that happened on the way to Gatlinburg! I rode with Whitney who drove Lauren and me. She was following Mandy who was driving Logan, T.J. and Rachel. Logan thought he saw an elephant in this white truck, but we couldnt slow down enough to see it, so we got off at the next exit and got back on and caught up to see the elephant. It was so fun and I got a picture of it!
Then we got to the Chatau and found our rooms and unloaded our luggage! I met my discipler for the summer! Her name was Heather. I also found out that the two girls I rode up with were in my discipleship group! I am so excited about my discipleship group! The other girl in my group is one of my roommates, Taylor!
Then we went grocery shopping, which was alot of fun! But then we had to be back at 5 to eat dinner with our discipleship group. We went to Corkeys! Then we had a meeting at 7 in the Conference room! Then after our meeting we got to get together with our family groups! Our family group is Oakley! Kris, Eric, Nathan, Regan, and Julianna is in my family group! We had a great time getting to know each other in the parking lot(which wasnt the greatest place to have our family group time). Then we had an Ice Cream social in the Conference room!
Then we went to our rooms and went to bed!
Day 2
We woke up around 8 and got ready and went to the Conference room for breakfast! The we had an orientation meeting! Then we went out and looked for jobs! I am still a little frustrated that I dont have a job yet, but Jonathan (one of the staff guys) gave me the name of the manager that said they could hire 4 people.. so I'm just praying that it will go well tomorrow when I talk with her at 4. Then we went back to the Chatau and got ready to go hiking which was a lot of fun! We got to walk in the water which felt amazing!
Then we went back and ate some lunch on the place outside our condo. Then we met back at the Conference room at 5:30 for dinner! It was so good! Then we went on a sagvenger hunt around Gatlinburg which was alot of fun!
Well thats all about it so far.. I cant wait to see what God has in store for the rest of the summer!
