In the first few weeks of September, I did something I had never done before. I moved! Not a big deal, to those of you used to moving around from community to community, especially not a big deal to those of you who have moved from a totally different area. For me, it was the biggest deal in the world, (at the time.) I had lived in the same house for 17 years, in Plattsville, and I was happy with that the way it was.
When my parents informed me for the first time that we were moving, I was very angry. Once I got to start planning my new room I got a little more excited, but still upset, because I remembered as a kid, I promise my parents, I would never move out of our house. I loved my house, and I thought it would be the only place I would ever feel at home. I feel at home, only at a few places, my old house, at my best friend Chantelle’s, and at my boyfriend Jay’s. After my father explained to me that the plans for building a new house on the lot we bought, would not work and tghat we would be living in part of a barn, I was furious. The deal is, we bought an 88 acre farm and it has a massive shop and office, and barn connected to it. The office part of the building, we rennovated into our house, so on the outside it’s a little rough, but the inside, became a beautiful home. I love my new house now, and I love changing my room around, and expressing myself now, as opposed to living in my old room from when I was a child.
I am so happy I’ve moved on with my life, and grew up enough, to enjoy change, for once in my life. I could be ready to move out whenever my time comes, and I love changing things around now. I’m just wondering, if you guys have as much trouble with change, as far as changing your environment or not.

I know how you feel…
I’m not moving, but my whole hosue is being torn down and replaced with a shiny new one. My dad met a woman last March and they’re going to move in together. With us. In a big new house.
Did I mention she has three kids? And my Dad has two?
So that’s 7 people living under one roof. I’m used to 3. Now I’m used to only Dad and I because my brother’s at university. I’m kind of excited about the new house, and having a bigger, better new room… but living with 2 young boys, a 20-year old girl, my Dad’s girlfriend and then my two guys… it’s going to be busy. And loud. And… overall extremely daunting.
Plus, the one younger boy is deathly allergic to peanuts. Peanuts are in EVERYTHING. v.v
Anyways, my environment and the people in it are totally changing. I also have to live in this woman’s basement for 4 months while construction is going on. The perk is she has hi-speed internet, while I currently don’t.
I always look on the positive side of things…

I forgot to mention the worst part of it. I have to put my cat up for adoption because two of her kids are allergic. So that’s upsetting to me.
Sorry. Had to rant. I’m glad you feel good in your new home now, though… hopefully that’ll happen to me too.
