Habitat for Humanity

This morning I had the opportunity to BUILD with Habitat for Humanity. It was the end of "Women Build Week", where local female community leaders and Democratic and Republican women came together to work on the house. It was so fun to work with these educated and political female figures in our community. It was especially fun to work with women from the Orem city council (Margaret Black, Karen McCandless), they never cease to amaze me!
Today Keith (the amazing builder!) taught us how to put dry wall on the ceiling.... lets just say that it was a LOT of work, but we managed to finish the whole living room! It was such a blast to get up on the scaffold and feel like a construction worker haha. Keith even trusted me with the nail gun.... although I just held it and stared at it :).

Habitat for Humanity is such an amazing organization and I hope to help out again in the near future! (It was also fun to hear about the family that will move into the house, what a wonderful opportunity).
