So I can't believe i'm saying this already, but one week has already passed...or soon will pass. So far so good. The time has been flying by here, I guess that has something to do with the fact that i've been going to bed around 8:30 or so, and waking up at 6...i know, it sounds weird coming from me. But the heat has been taking so much out of me...even the people that have lived here their entire lives say the same thing, so it's just not me. Summer officially started the day I arrived here, on Tuesday, April 5th. So because summer has officially started, the kids are out of school, so that means that the streets are just crawling with people, let alone kids now.
This past week, I haven't had much interaction with the kids from the home, they've been in the process of moving to a different home, much closer, only about a 30 second walk away, instead of a 10-15 minute car ride away. Hopefully either this week or next week i'll be able to move into the home with the other kids. I'll be sharing a room with a son of the family that runs the home.
I am getting more and more involved with the kids, i am spending a lot more time at the house, and with the kids just hanging out and talking with them. I can't wait until i'm moved in with them and spending the majority of my time with them at the house. From what i can tell, they are a bunch of awesome dudes and dudettes. They vary in age from 4-18. As of right now, only 9 kids are at the house. 6 guys and 3 girls. The rest are home for the summer, just trying it out to see if it's a stable enough situation for them to go home permanently, that's the goal of the family that runs the home. They want the kids to be able to go back home with their family. Well, that's pretty much it for now, i'm sure i'll post again sometime this week.
With the wind,
Mark
