It is finally gone!

YAY! They finally moved our old house! I no longer have to look at that eye sore!... sorta.

So. I am so happy! Now we have a beautiful front yard, kinda. we've got to clean it up and have the landscaper come. Other than that.. I am excited. I wouldn't mind a privacy fence though...I'll work on that later.

The woman who had the house moved, bought a few lots of land a block away.. so.. technically I can still see the house from my property BUT.. I am just happy its not ON my property anymore.

The men who moved the house said the house was built in the 1920's.  I thought it was cool.  He said you could tell how it'd been built one room at a time.  Seems strange, 1920 wasn't too long ago.. I guess nearly 100 years ago but that still doesn't seem like long enough for a family to be living in one room.

Its pretty cold outside today.  Thanksgiving is next week. I am excited to cook my first dinner for Thanksgiving.  I never had the opportunity to in our old house.  Not only was it small but our stove didn't work for a year... and.. there was no room to invite people over.  Brian's mom is having Thanksgiving at her house too.  Its kind of annoying but whatever. I am having Thanksgiving in my NEW BEAUTIFUL HOME!.

Right now it looks like it'll just be the kids and I eating Thanksgiving dinner.  My grandma said she isn't coming...so.. that eliminates everyone else.  Maybe I'll get a surprise.  It seems that when something is important to me, no one cares.  Honestly it doesn't matter.  I have a picture in my head of how the holidays should be, and I can make it how I think it should be.

Anyways.  The house smells like pumpkin! and the view out my living room window is beautiful.  Thanksgiving Break is next week.  I've only got a couple of weeks of class left.  I am so close to being done with school! I am so ready!  Which reminds me.. I have a paper to write and turn in this weekend. BLAH. I hate writing papers.  It sucks the life out of me.  I turned in a paper a few weeks ago. I made an 87.  I did alright but the professor said in his notes that I would have received an A but I had a few formatting errors.  Hopefully I won't mess up this time.  BLAHHHHHHH!

Raegan is in school right now.  she really enjoys preschool.  She's still not potty trained.  Getting her to use the potty was going good until she started holding it in all day long.  Her doctor said I should let her make the initiative to become potty trained.  She has anxiety, and it seems to manifest in the little things she does.  At this moment she's terrified of leaves.  Its currently fall which makes going places hard. She wants to be carried everywhere.  The other day we were in the car and Brian had to pull over to get a leaf that fell off of her shoe and into the floor board... She's also terrified of strangers. Everything is so complicated.

Sigh. Luke is asleep and I'm feeling tired.  Its almost 12:30. I need lunch.

I'll write more later, maybe I'll post pictures.
