twt

tuesdays with tayleigh!

for twt, we made a fort out of blankets... way fun! we sat around our christmas light "fire" and told our favorite memories of christmas. it was fun getting to know each of the girls better and see their creative minds at work as they constructed the fort! after dinner, we watched "a muppet's christmas carol" in our fort while we ate popcorn! good times!

chelsea's graduation

our most recent graduation was a huge success! i thought i'd share a little bit of the advice Chelsea had for the girls:

“Thoughout my stay here at diamond ranch, I’ve leaned and grown so much in just eight months… Early on I learned just how much I took for granted. Graduate level has by far been the most rewarding with finally having a set plan for myself for returning home and the opportunity to serve others. It has been a journey but I am finally happy with where I am and where I am going.”

“DRA has changed my life and I am so thankful for everything it has to offer and everyone involved. People care so much… I do not think I would be in the place I am now without the help and support you have given me. It really means a lot and I appreciate it more than you know.”

“Gratitude means a lot to me and has changed my outlook on life. Coming here I have learned to appreciate so much more… I know that everything happens for a reason and to just be happy with what you have rather than dwelling on the things you don’t have. Words cannot even describe how thankful I am for this program, the staff, the girls, and the opportunity to change.”
