Sappy Movies, 10 hour days and I'm still in Kentucky

   Today I worked a 10 hour day. I am actually liking these 10 hours days. I am tired afterwords, but I have been sleeping better and I have been getting farther in my hours. Right now I am at 701.75 hours left before I am done. I'm not rushing to be done, but it would be nice to be done with them before hand so I don't need to rush to finish. At this rate I should be done by the end of August, but I'm hoping to be done before then... hopefully.

15 minutes hike

This weekend was slightly short due to working on Saturday and dealing with crazy residents, but on Sunday I went to Mass ordered my prescriptions and up-loaded some photos. It was nice outside so a girl from the McCreary trailer and I were going to go on a hike at Yahoo Falls, but time was an issue, so instead we just did a fast 15 minute hike/ jog around Cumberland Falls. These falls (that we didn't make it to) were called Dog Slather falls I believe. Anyways It was a beautiful run/ hike/ jog and I hope to do it again, but this time as a hike than a jog. I also thought I would share some pictures of the adventure too.

I love the Shelter!

It has been crazy, but I'm enjoying it besides the random crazy people who try to buy cigarettes without having money. I have only been back two days, but I am doing so much better. I don't know if I have finally gotten a second wind or if I have come to the conclusion that I need to just live. I worked 20 hours so far, but I'm completely okay with it, because I was enjoying myself even when I had some crazy moments of going all over the place. Today was a good day overall and I thought I would share.

Covenant House

I had my second week at the trailer and even though it was hard, I was excited :-) Turns out that God finally gave me a direction or at least I think he did. If not he is leading me closer to where I should be.

Another week in the Trailer

Another week in the trailer and the sun is finally shining. I know last week it was the place that I needed to be, but week two was a little rocky and I wasn't very much enjoying it as much. There were some bumps in the road this week, but its Thursday and I'm finally done with my hours. So I think after having a lovely talk with one worker and being told that I should stay... I'm ready to head home and return to the shelter. I feel that since I keep having dreams about having new children at the shelter, it is time to go back. I enjoyed my time at the trailer and seeing a different side of Kentucky. I learned a lot and I'm taking much of what I learned and bringing with me. I'll write more once I get back into a more concert schedule and settle back into my new community.
