Hello from Georgia everyone!      I’m so excited to write my first blog! So the first night we stayed in Atlanta and I definitely got more than I expected.     First regret: packing a bag that is bigger than I am and finding out soon after arriving that I will actually be carrying it through the streets of hot and humid Atlanta. (I guess you were right about the packing too much thing Mom)     After walking we arrived at a place called the Safehouse and were then told we would be going out into the streets of Atlanta that night to...

Hello all! My name is Sam Thomsen and I am from the state of Nebraska.  In case you do not know your geography, Nebraska is right in the middle of the United States.  The state is known for Husker football, corn, and the land being extremely flat.  If you have never visited I recommend you make a journey.  It will blow your mind! (Okay, I may be exaggerating…haha!)  Anyways…a little about myself.  I am 22 years old and graduated this last May from Nebraska Wesleyan University. (Which is a small university in the capital, Lincoln.)  I...

Hey everyone 🙂 Like everyone has been saying.. I am SOO excited for this trip! It’s coming up so quick I can’t believe it. The picture is of me and my friend Hannah. I’m the blonde one on the right. (I’m holding a rope at the rock wall I worked at if anyone was wondering). Well let’s see, I’m from a small town in Washington state. To answer a very common question.. yes I have been to Forks and no I have never seen a vampire or wear wolf.
