Looking ahead

The Olympics are over. Tis a sad thing, and the weird thing to think about is that next Olympics when they're in Rio de janeiro, I'll be 21. That's weird!! But hey it's only a year and half till the next Olympics in Sochi, Russia. I'm so excited!!

If you build it.....

So I didn't go to Fiji just to relax, enjoy the scenery, and eat. If you recall I did go to Fiji on a humanitarian trip so we could build bathrooms. I regret to say that I didn't get pictures of the first day or so, but we had to start from scratch, digging in the ground and everything. This was a very labor intensive project and I'm happy to say that I did come home with some new muscles!! And to be honest I'm very proud of myself and this project, it's my baby.


Day 2 of bathroom...


...beginning of septic tank.


Building the base of the septic tank.


















Big Jim helping Sam get those higher nails in.



And TADA the finished product.

I'm incredibly proud of it, I can tell you how it works and everything! But regrettable we didn't get to finish 100% because it rained the very last day so the cement lids wouldn't dry and we couldn't put them on the septic tank. And that red is the primer, we had one more coat of the green paint. So they had to complete it without us. :(  But other than that we finished!!
