sorry

I have not blogged much recently. I really should.

Life in Atlanta is good. I have been a little sick with a cold lately, but not as bad as in the fall.

We have had an ungodly amount of snow and cold weather for Atlanta. I don't like it. It has snowed three times.

Last week was weird at the after school program because we missed a day for snow and then I watched the 2nd grade, so I only had two days of Kindergarten. I took some adorable pictures of my kids on Thursday though. I am convinced that they are the cutest things in the world.

At Family Life I am currently working on a new program for Seniors that guarantees them a box of food on the same day every month, even if they get food stamps. Right now I am in the middle of looking up all the files of Seniors who have received aid form FL in the past and copying the front page of their files so that we can call them in the near future to tell them about the program. I am pretty excited about it. We have also been doing the usual donation sorting and food pantry jobs.

Building relationships with people is hard.

I am a little discouraged right now because I am realizing that we are halfway through the year and I don't really have any significant relationships with adults in my neighborhood. I have a few super shallow relationships with adults, and fairly good relationships with some of the kids. I have significant relationships with adults at Family Life. But thats mostly it. I feel like I haven't tried as hard as maybe I could have. Also I wish I had studied Spanish in high school and college and was fluent. I am thinking about asking one of the moms to teach me Spanish. I guess I am realizing that building relationships here is just as hard as at home, and I was never that good at it there either. I do feel like I have learned a lot about it this year though.

Anyway, theres a little update! If you read this blog, I love you.
