This is more difficult than I thought
R1: I applied for a job as a receptionist in a small law firm near my home. I got the job, I love this kind of work. I got married last weekend in my family church, not many people were there, my dress was cheap and most of the decorations were loaned to me, it was wonderful. I married my high school sweetheart Bobby, we've been together forever now. We are currently living in a home owned by my family, this means no rent which is very helpful since we are both still in college.
R2: Little Bobby was born in early Feb. He wasn't due until mid March but the doctors say he's going to be alright, just a little small. I'm scared to death, being a new mom, and then having a premie. Thank goodness we finished his nursery last week, it's done in Precious Moments, I like it, he'll hate me for it when he's older. We're getting a cat... hopefully already housetrained. I want him to be gray, and fat, he has to be fat.
R3: Twin girls! I don't know much about girls. This pregnancy was different, I was very sad most of the time, I kind of felt all alone. I wonder if postpardum will result. My girls were born in May. Both very healthy and at a good weight. Their names are Leah Rose and Kathryn Leigh. Leah is the name of one of my best girlfriends, Rose is the middle name of another one. Kathryn is my mom's middle name and Leigh is mine. They will grow up proud of who they are. My son is attached to his cousins. He spends day and night with them since we all live in the same small town. He loves to play games on his game-cube but I try to incourage as much outdoor activity as possible. He loves his sisters, they love him too. I'm trying to start up my own business so that I can work out of my home. My husband isn't around much because he's a Registered Nurse and the hours are long and hard.
R4: My husband was adopted, his parents adopted six children. We are older now, and financially sound, and we have one of those communties were everyone is willing to help so we decide to adopt a little boy. We found out that there is a little African American boy in the town next to us whose parents recently died in a car accident, he needs a home full of love without racism, which is rare around here. We have that home, he will love it here. His name is Wade, he also has a sister named Naomi and Social Services doesn't want to split them up, neither do I. They are both welcomed into our home, space is scarce around here, but we'll make do. We are going to try to get a loan to build a bigger house, we've been saving money for years now, I know we'll be okay, and the church where we got married is going to help us. A vacation is in the works once to children are settled in. Maybe just to the beach or camping, something simple to allow us all to get to know each other. The twins are thrilled! Maybe we will take my mom so she can help us with our ever-growing family. But then my sister will have to go and bring her four children, Amber, Jonathan, Hailey, and Emily. That's okay, my oldest son will need some buddies to get in trouble with. This should be fun.
R5: With my son off at college and my twins thinking about the same thing, life is different now. The children we adopted adjusted well, they love school and have more friends than I can count, and most of them stay here more than they do at their own homes, but what's one more child? My husband and I have had our ups and downs, nothing is ever perfect, but I'm sure it will be okay. Our home is never empty, unless we are all at a ball game watching Wade, or cheerleading practice watching the twins and Naomi, they were all selected for All-State. One thing about these kids, they put their all into whatever they do. My credit card bill is going through the ceiling since my oldest son thinks he has to order pizza every night, but his new girlfriend is trying to teach him how to be responsible with his money, poor girl, doesn't she know you can't change a man? I think he'll marry her though, they seem to have a lot of fun together, and they look at each other they way my husband and I used to, the was we still do. Is it possible to have this great of a life? I HOPE SO!
