It has been
a while I know. Our social calendar has
grown exponentially in the past month. I have a bunch of blog posts I wanted to
write so I am just going to write highlights of each topic in this one big one.
Having some
new moms
DO NOT WORRY
BARBS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY NUMBER ONE & THE BEST MOM
With this
new job I work solely with women. A lot
of them. They all are making sure I am
eating properly. I have a mom for hair,
a mom for problems, and a mom for food a mom for just about everything. Trust me no one will beat my mom at her job;
she is the best person for the job to raise me. If I grow up to be half the woman she is then
that will be a good thing. She knows
when something is wrong just by the way I answer the phone. But being so far away from her and having
such crazy conflicting schedules she doesn’t get to see me or hear me every day.
But all the women that I work with are
moms and they take care of me. I also
have a mom that I get to see every Sunday who feeds us and lets us still be
kids. It is blessings to have a bunch
of women take care of you when your mommy is so far away.
Fall or
Spring?
Autumn here
is not autumn, it feels more like spring. It’s cool at nighttime and in the morning but
during the day it gets warm. There are
more birds down here because of migration. The trees are all still green and it’s not
humid anymore. Also it monsoons at
times and that supposedly is fall here. I miss the leaves changing and the brisk
morning air but I am not going to lie, its October 17th and I can still wear
shorts and a t-shirt.
Social
Butterflies
The month of
October filled up fast and has been a fun filled month so far. We volunteered at Alabama's largest music
festival called Bayfest. We had
backstage access and we set up celebrities dressing rooms and I got to wash
Luke Bryan's towels. Big plus of
working for 3 days, we got a lot of free time, got to see a lot of good music
for free and then got to take a lot of delicious food home.
Then our
Program coordinator came to visit and stayed the week and that was life-giving
and refreshing. He is a great person
and reminded us what’s important and how great of a group we truly are. This past weekend I slept on the USS Alabama
with Girl Scouts, and on Friday we got to participate in the art walk downtown.
This week we are volunteering on a wine
cruise for Erin's placement Catholic Social Services. On Friday we are attending a Moroccan themed
50th birthday. Saturday we are going to
a homecoming football game for the University of Southern Alabama WOO GO JAGS!
Then in the next coming weeks we have a lawyer party dinner auction thing, a
costume party and sleeping in cardboard at the local high school. This is all just October. If you told me two months ago our calendar would
be this full I would have laughed in your face. But now I miss our weekends of nothing.
That’s all I
got for now.
