Awwwww....that's so sweet! I have suffered from Pixies withdrawal all week, wondering how all you guys were.

The trip was very challenging (amongst our group, interpersonally, and in the situations to which we were exposed) but also very, very rewarding. In addition to working salvage at a large food bank, we cooked and served meals to the homeless, took homeless children to Boulder to a mountain park to hike, did gardening and yard clean-up at a transitional housing complex for families, and prepared, cooked and served lunch for 150 at a day shelter for women and children. When we weren't getting five hours of sleep or working, working, working, we were fortunate enough to attend a Colorado Rockies baseball game, picnic on the top of a mountain, visit the U.S. Olympic training center in Colorado Springs, and take a self-defense course in karate. I'm exhausted!

I've been going through the posts, and it seems as if things here have been as busy as normal. I can't wait to get back into the "Pixies groove" once again, and thank you all for thinking of me!
