Working Camera.

I have been a little absent for a while, but it was for good reasons. I have spent the last week and a half or so moving and unpacking.  It was a ton of work, but I had some great help. It was great to have my parents here to help, and spend some time with me in my new home.

I had to work everyday that they were here, so they did much of the unpacking and setting up for me. I tried to do some fun things with them while they were here, and show them around. We spent one evening driving around seeing some of the countryside. We drove past my new job, past the Crouch House, and then up a mountain. I took them to the top of the mountain closest to here, as you go up the mountain you enter the Monaghelia National Forest. I really enjoy the drive, because as you approach the top of the mountain, it feels like you are above the clouds and can see for miles. I think my Dad enjoyed the views, but my Mom said she was scared and didn't like it. Driving up in the mountains unlike any other driving I have ever done, and it can be a little bit scary at points. There are some curves where they say, you can see your back license plate as you go around it--if that gives you any sort of visual as to the kind of terrain. I hope to get up there this summer and get some photos, because there is nothing like it.

Anyways... During the unpacking, I found my camera cord! So, without further adieu photos from the crouch house.

 This is a view of the bedroom area. I was standing in the doorway of the bathroom to get this photo. It looks messy, but its really not. It was just so small that I could hardly fit anything in there. On the far right was the "closet." It was just a dowel with a small shelf on top. To the far left is the bed, and the door to the hallway. 

This is the bathroom area. The toilet on the right, and the sink and shower were around the corner on the inside. The room was too small for me to get a good photo of the sink and shower area. 

This was the view out of the sliding door in my room. The door was to the right of the "closet." The house is built on a cutout of the mountain, so all you can really see are the mountain trees. It is hard to tell in the photo, but the back yard was fairly steep. There is also a creek that ran through the yard too.

I guess for a $100 a week it wasn't too bad, but I am sure glad that I have a place of my own.

Check back in the next couple of days for the photos of my apartment. I have been working diligently to get everything put away, so I could take some good photos of the apartment for you all.

Miss you guys! Hope everything is going well back home.
