so everything has worked out!
I am not sure if I will be getting enough financial aid to cover school, but I am blessed with a nearly-perfect boyfriend, and he offered to pay for this one semester if I do not have to funds. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?! Of course, eventually I will pay him back. Someday after school probably. He has been telling me how proud he is of me and how much he wants me to be happy and to really make it out here, so he is totally supporting me if I need him. That takes a GIANT weight off of my mind!! So I am still on track with school!
I found a place that needs my volunteer work!!! I will be volunteering for up to 8 hours every saturday at a place called McDonald Ranch. It is less than 5 minutes from where I am staying. Bill said he or Christopher will drive me. And if they cannot, I can walk about 3 miles to a place where I can be picked up and dropped off by a shuttle bus.
I will be working with horses and dogs; feeding, grooming, fixing up buildings, etc. They also have chickens and cats but they owner said I do not have to work with them if I dont want to (thank goodness!!!). The ranch is a non-profit organization owned and opperated by a couple who takes in unwanted animals.
When I read about the need for volunteers there, I sent an email out and about 20 minutes later I got a reply! Linda said that she really needs volunteers and donations at this time. Finances are tight so they have two plots of land up for sale!! It sounded like she really needs me so I am so very excited to be of use for a good cause! Plus this way, I get my dog fix!!!!! I miss Junedoggy so much! =(
I am meeting with Linda this Saturday morning to work out the details. YAY!!! I will be taking pictures and posting them as soon as I can. Love you all!
