home away from home...

Somehow I found myself in Milwaukee for the summer...trying to make a home away from home. I'm working at Shepherds home for the mentally disabled. It's a stretch from anything I've ever done before. But so far I am enjoying it and having a lot of fun with the residents!! Last night at work, I played twister with 2 older ladies and then played some LONG games of Sorry!! It was so fun!! There are 2 ladies that I just fell in love with right away. Heidi and Robin. They are 2 ladies that my boss told me will have the hardest time adjusting to someone new and I might not ever get a chance to really know them or spend time with them. They were both at my side the entire night and we had a blast together. Each night the ladies have a time of devotions and they asked me if I would join them in their devotion time so I did and it was just an awesome time!!
So I'm living in the office building. The upstairs is a housing unit. It's kind of weird because it houses guys and girls and for this week it's only Ken Everson and me here. I can't wait until next week when my friend Christy comes. (we will be rooming together) Once she gets here I won't be so bored!!
So that's what I'm doing this summer. I'll be going home for not quite a week before Bethany's wedding and then heading back here like right after it and then going home again about a week before school starts up. So yup...that is pretty much the lastest about me. Heres a picture of me and my friend Christy Miner who I'll be rooming with this summer!!

    Let's be very clear that guys/girls have separate rooms...kinda like an apartment, sorta...anyway, keep up the great work.

    FYI - Union Grove is NOT Milwaukee. Ask anyone who lives there!

    Hey I had a friend who used to work there... and I think she lived near by too. Anyway, I've been there before and I think it's awesome you get to work there for the summer. Have fun!
