Day 50-Home Sweet Home

Howdy!


        Exciting news! My friends and I are getting real close to officially having a house next year! Yay! Gosh I'm excited! Other than that I don't really have anything else going on. Which is nice, especially since I just came off a week of doing absolutely nothing. So I'm fortunate enough to have a fairly easy week ahead of me. So hurrah for that!

 

Memory #50

            With the whole house searching business I've been dwelling on memories of all of the times we moved when I was younger. I know I've mentioned before, but just to reiterate in just elementary school alone I have lived in four different houses. That's a lot of moving for just 5 years. As a kid you don't necessarily see the faults that adults see, like not having enough bathrooms or rooms and so forth. I say that because when my parents first told me we were moving from our first home I was confused, I had a room, Sam had a room, my parents had a room, and I had  a playscape in my backyard...why did we need to move? And on top of that all of my friends lived near me. But alas we moved from one school district to another, where I knew nobody. 

       After our first house, we lived in two different rent houses in a span of two years. I remember that both times my mom set off to make sure Sam and I had nice rooms. Before she would do anything else, she painted my room and Sam's room and gave it all of these little touches before continuing on to deal with the rest of the house. She always went out of her way to make sure everything was just right so that Sam and I would have a better time adjusting to all of the new changes happening. The only problem was that my mom (three houses in a row) painted my room light pink. Every time. I know, I'm a brat. At this time though I was a self proclaimed tom boy and pink was a no-no. I remember when we moved to our current house when my mom asked me if I wanted to paint my room and I proclaimed, "Yes but no pink!" Which of course my mom laughed, "Why didn't you tell me that before?" Apparently since I never said anything my mom just assumed I liked pink. So we painted my room light blue and all was well. 

Love Always,
