Dear Journal,
The people near Sister's are so nice. The Ortiz's gave me a crib for Americus. Dixie gave me diapers and gowns. Henry and Leona gave us some blankets and a sterilizer.
Forney came by the house everyday. He came with two books, one of them for me and the other he reads to Americus. It is so cute. I wonder if she could understand the story. I also became good friends with Lexie. I think she think she's fat because she's always looking for away to become thinner. She does the craziest things in the world. She eats with chopsticks, because you can't eat fast with them. She had four children, Brownie, Praline, Cherry and Baby Ruth. All named after some kind of food.
I also met Tory, the first guy that I when out with since Americus was born. I met him when I went to fix Sister's car. After the 2nd date I started taking birth control pill. I had sex with him. I felt so dirty that I took at long bath after. I thought I was pregnant again but I wasn't thank God.
I saw Moses again. I told him about Americus and how it a strong name. Thank God that he agreed with me. He was taking pictures the next day, and I took Americus. He so many pictures. I went to his house soon later. I meet his dad and his wife, Certain. She was polite and loved Americus. Thanks to him, I brought a Rollei, a camera, in a flea market. I took pictures of everything and anything that I could. Some of the neighbors offered to pay to have their picture taken but I couldn't charge them anything. There was this one picture that I toke of Benny. He was running across Rattlesnake Ridge, naked. The picture was just great and one of the best pictures in the world.
