well, it's about time

I just thought I should do my first post here, because it's not very useful having a blog and never using it.

So, what's new? Well, my boyfriend and I have taken up a new task: fixing up my parents old cabin - my home from day one til approx. day 4383.
This has been really interesting and strange for me. The house is on 20 acres and is basically landlocked, so we have to hike back there about one mile one way. The strange part is just being there...it's very eerie and to be honest, a little emotional for me. But I try not to show it when it gets to me. So many memories, feelings, and questions swim around in my head when we're there. ALSO, I cannot stop dreaming about the place! I mean I've had dreams, and nightmares about that place the whole time we've been out of there, but this is different, I'm dreaming I'm cleaning the place, burning things. And I woke up the other night moving my arms like I was carrying garbage out of the house.... ha weird. It's very depressing the state that my parents left the cabin in. Just filled with garbage. A quarter of the junk in there would have been salvageable if they had kept the place up or had actually checked on the place every now and then.

Anyway, our goal is to fix it up and make it so it can be a little vacation getaway that's close to home! Maybe we'll even be able to have the whole family over there for the 4th of July.

I'll keep you up to date
