Long time, no blog. Here's a quick summary of things that have been going on here in the Southwest:
1. Casa Nacho is officially bedbug free (yay!) We spent a good amount of time putting the house back together and unpacking everything we had to pack up for the exterminators to come in.
2. Allie, Allison, Claire, and I spent Columbus Day weekend in Albuquerque for the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. We had an awesome time hanging out with the ABQ JVs who we haven't seen since Orientation back in August. The weather wasn't entirely on our side, so we only were able to do balloon related things on Saturday morning. Sunday, however, we took it upon ourselves to take a self-guided Breaking Bad tour. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Today, our program coordinator, Cece (who is one of the most wonderful people in the world) organized our Fall Day of Reflection. She spent the last week meeting with my roommate and I all individually and gathered what we needed as a community. Overall, I think the day went really really well and I think that our community now has so much room to grow and thrive. We spent the day at St .Thomas the Apostle church which is way north of anywhere we've really been in Tucson. It was nice to feel like we were getting away without actually going too far. The church was BEAUTIFUL!! Because of lighting, it wasn't possible to capture all the beauty in a single picture. The first picture is a picture of the alter. Notice the windows being it with ivy covered archways? Well the second picture was the view through the window. It was completely surreal.

That's it for now. Hope all is well back home and elsewhere :)
