After long and untold hours of planning, organizing, purchasing supplies, returning supplies, building, destroying, and rebuilding, my Eagle Scout service project is finally complete!

My project was to build a produce stand for The Shepherd’s Garden, a local Community garden that was created by my church, Trinity Episcopal. It took four weekends of work to complete the project, and it was amazing to see it all come together.

Now all I have to do is finish paperwork and have another couple of meetings with merit badge counselors and I’ll have my Eagle Scout sure enough. Finishing this project was both rewarding and relieving, that’s for sure!

Coming off a pretty sweet day yesterday, I jumped right into today and almost fell flat on my face! :-o

I instructed my priest on how to update and work on the church website that I have recently completed work on, trinityfulton.org. That was pretty cool. I also practiced driving again today.

I mowed the lawn when I arrived home, and I need to read Light in August and complete a second essay on The Great Gatsby by Thursday, which is the first day of school! YAY! *cough* not *cough*

Tomorrow is going to be good though – I have another *date* with Stephanie! :-D

As soon as I got home, I had to start clearing out and preparing a massive bunch of stuff to sell on eBay.

I got a lot of the work done, but it’s nowhere near complete. I am going to finish it up this weekend hopefully. Oh well. School starts Thursday, so the summer’s really coming to a quick end. Bluh.

In addition, my legs are pretty tired. I feel like Frankenstein or something like him! Grahhhhh. :-(

I am still trying to look up for the next three months. It’s going to be hard, but I have people supporting me on all sides. That helps more than I could ever put into words.

I’ve gotta go to practice now. Be good, ya hear? :-)

It was our hall, dubbed K3B from Kennedy Hall 3B. So far the plan is to have a random blog where each member can post whenever and whatever they please. It’s going to be a ton of fun, and I am glad that we’ll continue to do crazy stuff after the program was completed!

EDIT (11:54pm):

I just installed the site on runk3b.com as of 15 minutes ago. I still have work to do, but the most difficult stage has been completed! Awesome!
