Testing 1...2... *taps the mic* Is this thing on?
Everything is going well for us. Actually it’s going better than well, it’s going great which scares the shit out of me. I know something bad will most likely happen to offset the good things that have been going our way but for now I think that I’m going to enjoy this content and safe feeling.
Raynee and I have been living in Mansfield since July in a three bedroom apartment where the landlord wouldn’t fix anything and overpriced the apartment to begin with. Because we needed to desperately get out of where we were at we agreed to this outrageous shit that they wanted from us. Well, in the end (about two months ago) we got smart and decided that we needed to get out of there and get into something that was better for us and for our family.
Sunday we moved into this nice (really nice) house that is HUGE and when I say huge, I don’t mean it lightly, I mean it is BIG!! It’s got four bedrooms, the one downstairs we use as an office; it has sliding doors and steps up into the room, steps down into a big closet. It has a big kitchen with a breakfast nook, which I think is absolutely adorable. It has a big dining room, upstairs laundry room, big ass bathroom, a big living room, a family room which we are going to use as the kid’s playroom, two sets of stairs and three gigantic rooms upstairs. The girl’s room is big enough to put all three of them in there and still have room to put a few more beds in there. Shawna and Jaime have their own room and Raynus and I have our own room. It has a porch on the back that is used for storage, a deck, a nice big yard that’s on about an acre of ground. All we pay for this big place is $500 a month. That’s a steal.
Anyways, we love our house, we have great jobs (we have two of them), and we make great money. We’re getting ready to get new stuff, starting with a car hopefully.
Anyways, if I ever get any money from my Mom’s wrongful death suit I’m going to offer the lady that we rent from money for this house and buy it. Even if we build or buy another, I still want to buy this one. I love it here and I feel good about this place.
I went through some of the things that Shawna brought over today and I felt really good looking back on all of it. I feel as if I’ve finally moved forward, away from Lisa. I never think about her and if I do it’s to remind myself that I will never, EVER, feel that way again. I’m past it, I’m over it, and I feel good about the fact that I am.
I can’t wait for the kids to move in again. I’m anxious about it as I’m sure everyone is but we’ll make it through and in the end it will be rewarding for me. I need my kids in my life and until recently I didn’t know just how much I did. It feels good to sit at the table with them and help with their homework or watch a show with them, or make plans for things we need for the house. It feels good to just be a parent again, a real parent, not just someone that they see once a week or a few times here and there.
I just hope everything stays just like this for a LONG time and nothing goes too wrong for us. I want this good feeling to last for me.
