Well, I have arrived at my new home. Doesn't feel like home at all right now. It is strange to know that in about an hour, I will be sleeping in a house with 13 other complete strangers. The house is cute, big but does seem small with 14 people in it. Everyone is still getting unpack and getting things organized. I am lucky, I only have to share a room with one other girl. She is from Indiana. She seems nice and likes some of the same things as me: camping, reading, etc. The most surprising thing so far has been that two other people are from the Rochester area. It is a very small world. Living with this many people is definitely going to take some getting use to. Tomorrow we start real training. Today we just unpacked, had a house meeting to go over rules and stuff, and had dinner. Bathrooms are going to be an issue - a big issue. There is only 2 for 14. I have already had to wait to use it. This weekend we are going on a retreat to a very nice beach house in Eastham (no idea where that is). The house is right on the beach and we will get to explore the coast, swim, surf, and canoe. So, I am really looking forward to that. The rest of this week, we will just be doing training-paperwork, CPR, and some other stuff that I can't remember. Right now I still have tons of unanswered questions, which I know will be answered in all the training that will take place. The greatest thing about this house is that it is very environmental friendly. We have solar panels, recycling, and a compost pile. We also have a veggie garden. I know this post is all over the place. But that is how my mind feels right now.

I'll take some more pictures tomorrow and try to add them in the next couple days. I thought I had a picture of the outside of my house but I guess I only took one with my cell phone. Good night everyone.

This is just the beginning of another chapter in your life. Enjoy it and take in all the experiences you can. Not too many people get to do what you are doing. We are so proud of you and all you are accompanying in your life. The house looks nice. Just too bad it doesnt have a couple more bathrooms!! That is cool that there are a couple more people from Rochester. Maybe you guys can share driving back once in a while. We are glad you are doing well and dont worry, you will get all your questions answered!! Your cat saids HI and she misses you. Now if she would quit bugging us all night!! We miss you and wish you all the best. Love you, Mom and Bob
