Sam and her Blog

In August 2004 I moved into the house I later renamed Bag End.

 

Only because I love Lord of the Rings.

Before that I stayed with my uncle and his family. Stephen and Spencer were like roommates to my brother and I. We stayed with them because we moved out of our old house before the people in our new house moved.

So I spent three weeks in the wonderful House of Krause. What an adventure. Spencer and I spent every moment together. I didn’t care what I looked like. I was 11 and life was good. We played video games, swam, ran around the backyard, and played football. It was nice

One event sent me back to Earth. Spencer had left for a weekend long camping trip with his friend. I stayed to myself a while. My dad went to the store to get new car speakers.

My mom, my brother, and Stephen accompanied him.

To pass the time, my grandma and I sat on the deck and drank lemonade. Even at age 11 we discussed politics and world issues. (that is my way of bonding with her. I love every second.)

Then I heard a disgusting noise. I ran around the house to see the Krause’s dog, Jack curled up in the road. I ran into the street and saw blood pooled around him, but on his face was a smile. That made me scream. Every one in the family was there. Chris (my uncle) picked him up and buried him.

We all sat in silence.

That made me anxious to move to my house.

Spencer came home to the bad news.

Members of Xenos came with trucks and moved everything to our house it what seemed like minutes. Amazing!

It took a while to get settled, but I was ready to be home.

I hated my house! My room was so small (dude…9 x

and it didn’t possess the potential hiding places for hide and go seek.

It’s been a little over three years now.

The Krause family has gotten two mischievous Boston babies.

I moved to a bigger room, and have grown out of hide and go seek.

I know where all of the floors creak, the sound the cupboards make when they close, and the exact settings for the perfect shower.

I swear my bed is the only place to sleep good.

My couch has healing powers, and the stairs have always been there for me to trip up/down!

So going to FLA, I will live with my grandparents for few months, then I will move into a new home. Starting over. Kind of exciting. Kind of sad.
