It has been almost 6 months since I moved out here. Craziness! Work has been somewhat stressful lately. This last shift was the first shift that has gone smooth in a long time. I am only working with three girls right now, but we will be getting some new girls soon. I think I'm getting sick for the third time in two months. I've had to work off and on during my three days off because one of the couples that works here had their baby Sunday night. I haven't been able to sleep in at all during my three days off. However, the extra work is good because I am going home for a visit in June for 9 days. Since I don't have vacation days yet, working extra is a way to cover those days I'll be gone.
A week ago I went to a two day conference in Omaha for an Adoption conference. It was very good, but somewhat emotional...which I wasn't expecting. Now my boss wants me to do a training on the stuff they talked about there. I'm not sure where to begin.
I got to experience my first tornado storm while I was in Omaha. That was crazy and exciting. There were a couple tornadoes that hit down in a couple towns right outside Omaha. It was so windy, with thunder and lightning and rain. the storm lasted about 1 1/2 hours in the evening.
The school year ends in about a month and a half. Then we start all our fun summer activities which includes water skiing. I'm looking forward to having some fun and getting some sun this summer. :-) I'm also looking forward to going home for a visit in June. Yay!
The last couple months has been hard for me. I've been really homesick, and as some of you know our family dog hurt herself and there was talk of putting her down. I've also been struggling with spending time in the Word daily, and just feeling quite alone. I'm doing pretty good now, but it is hard being away from family and friends. I wouldn't want to give up this experience for anything. I have been learning so much about myself and about working with teens. Thank you for supporting me and praying for me. I really appreciate it!
