Who cares about big gestures?

FIRST, I want to throw out that the first year trip is moving little by little, but i think Nicole has an exciting proposal that we should all hear about tomorrow!

So it's been a slow start for me with this whole CLA thing, BUT I have finally started!! I went for an interview and training earlier this week, and I was a little nervous. It seemed unorganized and a little intimidating to me. However, I went in for a few hours yesterday and I fit right in. There was plenty for me to do and the guests are great. I can tell the staff are worked very hard but love what they do. I hope I'll be able to alleviate some of that burden. I deffinately had two high points of the whole day. First was when we had one of the guests help carry a donation and the staff member told me to work with the guest. When I spoke with him and remembered his name he was floored. He gave me this smile like, "no one's bothered to remember my name in a long time." That totally made up for the whole fact that i dropped three frozen turkeys on my foot right after.
Later that day a mother asked me to wash her little boys hands and he was crying and crying cause I'm a stranger, but once he put his hands in the water he got soo happy and really wanted to play with me all day. It was precious.
