Well, needless to say andrew and I had a very intense January, and im almost uneasy to say that there are still more days left. I cant wait for February to begin. So far I think that my fresh start to the new year will start on February 1st!
Because it has really taken me this long to believe what has happened to Andrew and I in the last two weeks......I feel im finally ok to talk about it.
Basically.......our house had a breaking and entering and stealing! Andrew came home last tuesday just before 4pm to see that someone broke into our house. He called the police, and then me....where I raced home from work in hysterics......
Apparently whoever "they" are.......broke our back gate into our backyard......then proceeded to KICK in our back door (which leads into the kitchen). Wood particles all over our kitchen, and also things fallen off counters and out of place from all the pounding on the door. Once home we took a scope of what was missing.....and this is where my stomach really twists. Andrews 2 guns, my Laptop, my CANNON REBEL ( :( ), Our brand new flat screen tv that we got for christmas (hadnt even been used), 450 bucks in cash, 200 in change (our change foe like 6 months we kept in this huge mug), my watch, andrews watch. They threw our stuff everwhere......all of our dresser drawers were open and rifled through and my closet was torn up our nightstand open, stuff thrown everywhere........ UGH! Basically horrible......i just didnt even know what to do or say.
Andrew and I talked and although what happened really hurt us emotionally.....we knew that it could have been so much worse. Both of our puppies were still in the house.....miraculously. Since they kicked in our back gate.....sure enough they both could have decided to run free. But Tex is a total home body and wouldnt go anywhere....and June doesnt leave Tex's side. So that was good! And who knows what these people were capable of......it was probably a blessing that andrew and I werent home. Its just so hard to think about. Its really taken me till now to sort of let it sink in. Im still just so sad.
So much has gone on this month, that i feel sort of drained. Thats why im looking at February as my new year of 2011. I need it to be so different than January. And dont get me wrong I had some major major wonderful things happen too.......I got a job that im loving, and also adding miss JUNE to our little Hosford family.
Sorry for showing my depressed side, but hopefully if i get it out.....i can heal a bit.
Heres to February! CHEERS!
Laurin, I am so sorry you guys have had such a rough January. It is a terrible invasion of privacy when someone breaks in. We had our house broken in my Juionr year of college and my computer was stolen. And my car was stolen in Eugene. It is a terrible feeling. You just can't believe someone would do that. But, you have such a great attitude and such a great partner, I know you will come out of it all fine. And congrats about the job!! Here's to a better February!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! It was definitely a rough month! However it IS now February....so onto better things! I hope you have a wonderful february too!
