The New House!

My family and I currently moved from our Suburb home in Kentucky to our new country home in Winter Haven, FL. I'll start with the story:

My family and I have a lot of problems with my grandparents and aunts. They tried turning me and my 3 younger siblings (just the 3 under me, not the 3 babies) against my parents and my dad (he's step but my father figure). They did so because they didn't like my dad. After years of this and after all the truth had come out, to get away from it all we decided to leave the area and all of out belongings. We packed up a Cadillac and a Yaris and left on July 12th.
We spent 3 days on the road and stopped in Tampa (July 14th, my youngest brothers 3rd birthday). My dad had a job offer there that didn't pan through like it was suppose to. We left from there and traveled to Ft. Myers. We stayed there a week and it didn't pan through either. For the remaining 8 weeks, we had been going back and forth between Kissimmee and Pinellas County.

List of Hotels We Stayed at the Whole Trip wrote:

Trip South: Car
Tampa: EconoLodge
Fort Myers: Hojo
Kissimmee: Rodeway Inn, HomeSuiteHome, Rodeway Inn, Claremont Inn, Rodeway Inn
Treasure Island: Treasure Island Ocean Club
Kissimmee: Rodeway Inn
Tampa: Car, Hojo, Budget Inn
Clearwater: Car
Kissimmee: Claremont Inn
Palm Harbor: Red Roof Inn
Kissimmee: Rodeway Inn, Super 8
Winter Haven: HOUSE!!!!

The repeats in the same city are the same hotel, not different ones and this shows all the switching and running around we did. Hotels require a family my size to pay for 2 rooms. We never did. We spent 10 weeks crowded and living under 1 room. It was hard and it only got rougher.

My mother found a house a craigslist that was posted with 4 months free rent if we do the work on the house. My dad's a Jack of all trades so we took it. It's a bit of a fixer-upper but we couldn't be any happier to finally have a place to call home without the influence of the family we once knew and loved.

Rukia did me a favor and screenshoted the pics it posted of the house on snapchat and posted them to Raspberry vs. Strawberry for me but since I had this story to tell I'm copying and posting them here. I thank her for this help.

This is the fixer-upper. It's very roomy but needs a lot of work done to it to make it presentable. It's on septic, which is where the removed flooring is in the supposed downstairs bathroom. The light switch thing can actually turn off/on the lights in the boys, itty bitty, and my parents room so the wiring is all messy.

That's all I have to say. That's my story.

Re: The New House!

WOW...What a trip. No wonder you were so busy.

At the bright side, I LOVE the new house! I like how roomy it is and even though it does need work, at least you can make it however you like.

LOL at the Cuban flag. That was just a weird surprise :P

So you're doing your room with two colors?

Re: The New House!

Does need a fixer upper, but it looks really homey! I really like it :3 The view from your room is what I'd like to see, is it nice? I also love the curtains in the living room and the stairs.
I like houses that have a winding staircase ^^ They look cool

Re: The New House!

Twin: view from my room is the backyard. Not much I like with it.

Varky: I already that with you and yes, the Cuban flag was an odd find.

Malu: thank you!

Re: The New House!

So much space! The house obviously needs some work but it really has the potential to be a wonderful place. Wish all the best to you and your family, may this new house be the best home ever :)
