Today, B&BSC2SC2014 worked in Greenville with Habitat for Humanity to build an affordable home for the Gantt family.

My best friend from home, Sara, came by the build site to bring me some coffee. I was riding the struggle bus real hard when I got up this morning; I was so tired I could barely stay awake. She also lent me her shoulder for a quick cry. She's really the only friend I have that spent a substantial amount of time with Harrison. In a sense it's harder to see her but, at the same time, I am more comforted by her because I know that she experienced the loss in a big way too. (I love you Sara! Thanks for everything!) |

This is the Gantt home BEFORE our build day. |

And this is the Gantt home AFTER our build day. Apart from smaller odd jobs, we mostly worked on installing vinyl siding. Siding took much longer than shingling did. I often felt like I wasn't really doing anything. We had to stop and restart with each piece because the siding had to be measured and cut to size depending on where it was going. Nevertheless, we almost finished the entire house. |

We ended the day with a trip to Falls Park in downtown Greenville where I was able to meet up with my family and friends. (Shout-out to Madison for winning three ribbons today in her first horse competition! I love you to the moon and back!) |
