Partners in Living

I wanted to share with you all a very special picture. The woman in the picture with me, Mary Lou, is mentally handicapped, she is however, a fantastically fun person! A week ago first year students interested in service moved in a day early to participate in our first year day of service. I lead a group to a park where we met with Partners in Living, two organizations that support the mentally handicapped communities in Dayton. They come together a couple times a year for socials. This was one of them. We had a GREAT time!

I even got asked out by a guy named Elmer. . . Elmer said, "Maybe someday . . . you could uh. . . come take me to a movie. . . and uh. . . maybe afterwards we could go to a park. . . and well . . . if you gave me your number I could call you. . . to uh. . .set a date. . . " I responded, "Elmer, are you asking me out on a date?" He put his head down and laughed. . . he was so adorable. . .it was like being asked out in middle school!

Here is another great picture. . . I was leading a sing-a-long session, Row Row Row Your Boat, Old McDonald (a favorite!), BINGO . . . and with my special friend above, Rolling on the River (WITH hand motions!)

The Move!

Hello all, sorry for the broken promise of weekly updates. . .

Classes took up my days. . . I was unable to write about the random things of life with a canon law paper hanging over my head!

Anyway, here is the short update and tour of my new space.

My parents drove in last weekend. We had a fabulous time. Friday my friend Chrysta from Cincinatti came up and had dinner with us. We then taught my parents how to play Euchre a suprisingly fantastic game, played much like Hearts but oh so much better!

Saturday my Daddy helped me move into my new space, here's a little tour of how it's shaping up:

My new living room! I believe the coffee table and couch is my favorite part. . . or maybe it's just the fact that I actually have a living room now!

Yes, I do believe it is nice to have a living room. . . it's a nice place to live in!

And of course the bedroom. . . this is as much as you can see right now. . . as you can see the bed is not made (as if I EVER do that!) I have a bathroom around the corner. . . again not exactly picture ready!

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Come again soon!
