I'd Take a Shack on a Rock Over a Castle in the Sand...

So this whole week has been shack-a-thon. for those of you who don't know, this is the main fundraiser for our campus' chapter of habitat for humanity. all these organizations build shacks on the brick yard and people stay in them all week and collect spare change from students on their way to class. its a huge event every year and this year has been great. IV built a shack nicknamed "the shanty". it is the ghetto-est of all the shacks on the brickyard, but it sure has bee fun. we have had some great fellowship out there in the shanty. I helped tommy and jerod build a huge table for the "lawn" in from of our shack. the table has served as a great place to eat lunch and fellowship with the coolest of the cool. It has also served as an escape from the sun. yep, you read that right. JB and i lounged under the table during lunch on wednesday to stay out of the heat. not only has the shack been a lunchtime gathering place but it has also been the sight of jerod's 21st birthday party... complete with cookies, cake and four-square. yeah... weve had some good times at the shack this week... tomorrow it will be knocked down as part of whack-a-shack. i will be sad to see it go, but i rest assured in the fact that this time next year i will be enjoying a brand new shack!
