oops, forgot
The whole reason I updated last night was because I wanted to tell this story though doesnt really seem important, was so weird to me. and I forgot to.
I gre up in Burien in the same house. I didnt move out until the end of the summer after Highschool I moved to my moms in Sumner. So I was almost 19. My dad still lived there though for a year or two more.
Well, the port wanted to buy the house and we kept saying no. but my dad wanted to move anyway so he eventually said yes, when the price was right. The port owned the house and they rented it out to different people. Whenever I drove past it when I was in the area there always seemed to be different cars in the driveway and they never kept the house looking nice like my dad did. (the flowers were all dead and the lawn overgrown and brown)
Well randomly Nick and I were in Burien the other night to do something, I dont remember, and my old house is gone. seriously its just an empty lot now. The 3 or so trees behind our house were still there. But the huge shop/garage my dad and my grandpa built back behind.. gone. the house.. gone... the driveway.. gone. One of the neighbors house was gone and the house across the street was gone too. Maybe if I would have seen the house boarded up first it wouldnt have been such a shock. But everything, including the driveway, gone. Just a dirt lot. And it was sort of hard to grasp because it was my childhood home and there were deffinately many memories there. I didnt cry or anything, but I was very shocked.
I still drive by our old house in Sumner too (that my mom lived in for 15 years I think?) She sold it a couple of years back so that was weird too. it was my other childhood home. But I know it wont be knocked down anytime soon. At least I can still drive by and look at it.
I guess this is all just another part of growing up.
