The House that Was…

So all these pics are from friday night. Drew, Matt, my cousin Cameron and his ladyfriend Christy (sp?) went to go check out Drew’s grandmother’s old home. She died awhile back, and the house has been empty since then. A few things you must know. This house is VERY old and this house is VERY creepy. The pic of the outside is what you see from the street. The old tall windows that with a few exceptions are all grown over will weeds. We aren’t quite sure what the thing in the attic was – but from my best guess, it’s a coffin. With some blankets on top that have long rotted away. The most interesting find of the night was bottles of alcohol (still with alcohol in them) that I estimated to be about 70 years old (from the date printed on the labels). I took a smell, and yep, it definitely still smelled like kahlua. The other interesting find was the picture in the living room, of christmas in that very room, probably about 45 years ago. When the house was full of life and people. Before it was empty and slowly falling in on itself.

The other thing I did was go to the wedding of Adam and Candice. As far as weddings go – it was pretty nice. Except everyone I knew there was IN the wedding, so I just had to pick a random table at the reception with people about my age and make a few instant-friends. It worked out okay. What is weird, and also ironic is that on my way TO the wedding I ran into Jake. So later than night I swung by his loft and we went to the mud lounge and caught up on each other. It was pretty fun.
