week 8

I have lived in both the farm house in Washburn and the house in Metamora. The house in Metamora was located in a little valley in the country. There is maybe 2 or 3 neighbors that were nearby but now in Washburn the closest house is all the way down the road on the opposite side of the street. I lived in that house in Metamora ever since I was a baby up until eighth grade which is when I moved. I moved because my Uncle had passed away and my dad had taken over the farm. My dad was tired of driving there every single day when we could just move into the house on the farm. The house in Metamora had several memories...we used to play hide and seek at the house all the time, play flashlight tag, go spray paint the bridge near us, play in the woods, make a mud slide on this cliff down into the water, walk the creek, go on bike rides up and down the road, etc. Our house in Metamora was nice and had lots of land especially including the woods behind our old house. We had a nice big porch attached to the second level of our house. It was built into a hill so half of the down stairs was above ground and the other half was underground. It was always fun playing in the woods. We would climb across trees that had fell over from one side of the cliff to the other... we were daredevils. Lol. Then down this steep cliff that you pretty much had to slide down there was this creek with lots of rocks and a cute little stream and there was also this cool tree that almost acted like a bridge that was curved going from one side of the rocks to the other side where if you sat on the center of the tree the water was below you. Another thing that was cool was that in the winter we could slide across the stream when the water turned into ice. Since we lived in the valley there was three hills with roads and a bridge on it. There was another bridge that we would go to and spray paint all over. I would always right like Jess hearts whoever.... well now it kind of sucks because I am in a 2 year relationship with Jordan an there I am with my name spray painted on a bridge with some other boys name. Another thing was riding our bikes down the big hill on our property and then sledding down it in the winter and landing under neath a pine tree. It was also fun making ramps to fly off in the winter.  Honestly I would give anything to be able to move back to that house for my first house on my own or build a new house on that property. My house that i live on now is kind of boring there is nothing really to do other than go on walks or climb up and down the bin or mess around on the side by side or on the snowmobile in the winter. We have plenty of farm land to drive in and when its really wet in the fields after a good amount of rain its fun to go mudding in the fields. Another thing we can do is ride in the combine during harvest with my dad but that's about it. My house that I live in now looks tiny but honestly it is actually really big on the inside. we have three bedrooms upstairs and like four or five downstairs. (of course not having that many family members we don't use them all as bedrooms.) Then we have two bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs but the one downstairs we don't use so we just put a wall in front of it because the downstairs is still being fixed up. and then we have one living room upstairs and one downstairs and then one kitchen upstairs and another downstairs as well as a dining room and laundry room upstairs. The house in Metamora looked much nicer on the outside but wasn't as nice as the house inside at the Washburn house.
