My Life: October 2007

Cruz

Cruz came this last weekend. Got here Friday morning and left early on Monday. It went so fast that these are the only pictures we got!

Eatin some chicken n biscuits at bojangles!

Although she didn't get the grand tour of Wilmington (which is my current speciality) she did get to eat at all our wierd southern resturants, meet all the girls (at the house), and we even went to the movies with my boss! (and sarah and whitney of course).

That movie Across the Universe is really wierd and 1408 is pretty good.

Deer

This is a picture of a couple of the deer that are more often then not in our yard every morning (usually we see 3).

And then there were 4...

Well, last Tuesday 3 of the girls from the Alpha (older) house moved down to the Beta house and the other 4 remained. It has been quite the adjustment and often feels like a weekend with just 4 in my house. Unfortunately for the girls, chore times can be exhausting when there are just 4 to do the job of 7 but they are doing quite well and things are becoming less strange every day. We are able to get together with the other girls a couple times a week for things like homework night and FLT (Family Life Training) but it is quite lonely without them. I find myself struggling during meal times to cook for just 5 rather than 10. Currently our house manager is also taking on the job of house staff as she continues to go through the interview process for new staff. So for now I work opposite of her, which is kinda nice seeing as I never have to worry about her doing something weird or not getting something important done. The first new addition to our program will move in this Wednesday but she will be down in the Beta house. So we will keep waiting, and I will enjoy this weekend with 1 girl! :).

New House

We are just about ready to move into the new house! Well, actually I will be staying in the old house with 4 of the current girls and Sarah and Sandy will move into the new house with 3 of the current girls and one girl who will be coming into the program as soon as we do the move. Here are some pictures of some of the rooms.
