Today is moving day. I am soooo happy! No more living in that poor excuse for a shack! No, it wasn’t that bad. Actually, it was good we lived there; otherwise we would have never saved money for this house. I never would have met my friends either; which would be so terribly tragic.
I was just reading through some things I have written in you… I have said some pretty stupid things! Who knows, you’ll probably think this is stupid later on as well. I feel bad. There are so many things I haven’t written; like the hockey game we went to not long ago. It was so cool. I hope we go again someday. The players got in real fights, though, so bad that blood spilled all over the ice. I never thought it could get this violent in professional games.
Anyway, as soon as I think of something more I missed, I will write it, okay? Today is October 31st, Halloween. I am going to be asleep later since there isn’t much of a choice with our stuff all packed away. We are going to take our little cousin around, though. It is her 1st Halloween. She is so cute! I’ll take some pictures. I’ve got to go help now.
Love,
Me (like always!)
