Here's to us!

We finally got around to celebrating the sale of our house and the paying of all the debts. What we thought would take six months ended up taking a YEAR and six months so the haul was a long one and there are many reasons to pat our backs because we stuck it out and didn't jump off the Agate Pass bridge and we didn't ever go crazy on each other. This is a testament to all the love and friendship and general joking around around here. And personally, I never want it to end. Living here with my grandparents has been the best, the best, the best and I think it has made me the well-rounded boy that I am today. And moving here has allowed my mom to be with me every day for the last one thousand days and if an unsuccessful house flip is to blame then I'll sign up for a few more of those. Family bonds and memories are more important than profit. This is what my mom mutters to herself over and over all day.
