Indy #1 Trip

Ok so this has kinda been in the works since June 13 of 09 so yeah I've been lazy in adding to this. Hey wut's up. I just got back from the first Action trip in Indy and it was AWESOME!!!!! we got there at about 5P.M. on Monday. From the action branch there was also Martha and Catie. When I got there I found out that I was going to be in the same house as Micah Olson ( whice was awesome!!!) and 2 other guys. 1 was another Action member from the Colorado brance and another was part of the staff like Micah. The dude from Colorado was a guy named Isacc Busekrus (pronouncted Boozy cruise). The staff dudes was Peter Colman. Nothing much the first night, just kinda chilled. The next day (Tuesday) was oriantation whice I had to really try to stay awake for because I was so tired. Some stuff was impotant such s what to do on the job site and stuff. Other stuff was expanded from stuff that I already knew and agreed with such as not having relationships with girls. Whice I'm cool with, anyway afther that we had a half work day. We went to this one house that needed painting and stuff done so that these branch members could move in there by the end of the week. Almost everyone did that while me, Issac, and Micah went to a near by parking lot to get it ready for a Bobcat (bulldozer) to come in and do stuff. We had to shovel bricks that were in the ground and carry them to a trah pile behind the house we were working on. We then had to to dig up two I-Beams and a tree stump. so we spent the rest of the day digging a hole around the the first I-Beam. This is the layout, on the far side of the parking lot it's I-Beam, tree stump, 2nd I-Beam. At 3:00 the workday was over. We then went back and showered. We then headed over to the duplex were the rest of the staff stayed. This is the layout, The Duplex then on the left facing is a parking lot and a cross the street was the man house. To the right is a field and then a cross the street the women house. We just basically chilled untill supper. Then we had a session/talk about city building and what we thought it was and what questions we had. Then we went back to the man house (well us guys did obviously) we then talked aboout what we thought about the talk. The next day was the first full work day. We finishing digging up the first I-Beam by teh second half of the day. We then tried attaching a hook and Rope to Peter Colmon's truck. It moved a little bit but idt didn't lift out really at all. So we tried ddigging a little more but that didn't help at all. Afterwards we just chilled and Bob Hackel, the 78 year old dude we came down with, told some awesome war stories and stuff. Then the teens split up and went to branch members houses for supper. Because there were 5 teens I had to go with two adults, boring. Then we met up with the other teens and we went back in the Action Van. That was really fun. We talked about random bad jokes and how awesome Brian Regan and Dane Cook are. Martha was acting all weird, like "motherly" (according too Isaac), so Issac started calling her MaMArtha. But then it was too long so we changed it to m&m. We talked about our diffeant schools and stuff. And we foiund Exit 0. Yes Exit 0. And we didn't even get a picture of the sign. Maybe next time i'm there. . . Anyways we got back at about 9:30 and then we headed oover to the man house. The next day Isaac had to do chores so he wouldn't be able to help us with the I-Beam, but thank god it rained so we ended up just working in the house with everyone else. I helped Bob in the bastments cementing cracks in the wall. After that I helped prime one fo the side rooms for painting. Aftter that we went back and after showers me, Shannon, Martha, Catie, Peter, Megan Couch ( one of the people that live at the duplex) and John Brophy ( the leader of the action team in Colorado) played touch football. It was Peter, Catie , and Martha against us. So of course they won cause they were the fastest people there playing at the moment. Then it was men/women's night. So the women went into the women's house for supper and the men stayed in the duplex for supper. Afterwards we then decided to take pictures on Brian Couch's ( the leader dude there) camera of us in superhero posses by jumping in the air and landing on our stomaches. The women went on a walk or somthing. Anyways Peter, Isaac, adn Micah did an epic picture were Isaac is doing a flip awhile Peter and Micah or diving after running too him. Brian then photo shopped it into a picture of a cit so it looks like Peter is flying normally, Isaac is diving down, and Micah is doing a strange sort of dive with a cigar in his mouth. Then Thurseday me, Micah, and Isaac went back to the parking lot to continue working.
