I've always wanted a little sister. But I never got one. (You can take that up with my parents). I used to play with my friends little sisters because I didn't have one.

But now, I have two! My hermanitas are absolutely precious. Julissa is 5 and Perla is 7. I moved into my new family Tuesday night, and so far, so good. They are so great. And my sisters! I am absolutely in love. I played with them all night Tuesday night.

We dropped them off at school on Wednesday morning, and my mom, July took me to school so I could figure my way out. I feel like I'm probably going to be spending a lot more money on transportation at this house because it's a lot harder to walk to school. There's a highway near the school that I have to cross, and while people do it all the time, I feel safer taking a concho.

I came home yesterday and ate lunch, and took a nap. And it was a much, much needed nap. When I woke up, I had two little girls sitting outside of my room waiting for me to wake up. It was cute. I played with them all afternoon and night and then did my homework and went to bed.

I talked to Elaine, my program director, and the first thing she said to me was “Wow, you seem so happy”. And I am. I really, really am.
