I am learning I am defiantly in a different in environment then I am use to. Where I live is a community for teen moms. So there are 4 main houses and 2 tiny houses. The 4 main houses are for different things. House 1 ( the one I live in) is for girl that are pregnant, house 2 is the directors house and main office, house 3 is the house for girl that are placing there child for adaption and house 4 is for girls that have decided to keep their babies. So I live in the pregnant house, which is fun and very interesting all at the same time. I get to hang out with the girl that come and live here. Which I think is fun. I get to know them and here their stories. And hearing their stories makes me sad sometime. One of the girls does't know who the baby's dad is, an other one isn't sure if she knows or not. I get to tell them my story as well. And they are all shocked at my story, because I haven't ever dated anyone and I am still a virgin at 21.
My prayer for next 6 months is that I can be a bright light into these girls lives. And help them see that you don't have to do it the way everyone else is doing it or what the world says how to do it.
The weather here has been nice. It usually looks rainy in the morning, then by lunch time it is sunny and nice out. I have been able to go on a mile walk almost ever day. The little girl I watch loves to go on walks. So that helps me to be able to go outside. I have realized that I do need to invest in a pair of rain boots. All the boots I have don't hold out water.
The colors of fall here are so pretty. I love that there are tree here that I can watch change color. With it being fall comes all the other fun stuff. We went to a pumpkin patch with everyone. It was so pretty to see. We also went through a corn maze while we were there. I had never been through a corn maze before. So it was a fun and confusing adventure.
Some of the girls and I carved pumpkins after we got back from the pumpkin patch. We saved all the seed so we could roast them. I got the fun job of picking through all the seeds and cleaning them off.
The last couple days have been a little hard. One of the girl that was staying here moved out suddenly in the middle of the night. She didn't want to go along with the rules in place. We are very sad to see her go.
One of the other girls that lives here is about to have her baby. She is over her due date by a day. So we are all excited for her to have her baby.
The other girl that lives here can sometimes be hard to live with. She is very negative about pretty much anything. And she seems to have a story for everything. Which is fine, except when you are trying to talk and she interrupts you. So learning to have more patience with her and everyone here.
I think that is all I have to say for right now!! Talk to y'all later!!
