Nice Long Weekend
I had today off of work, which means this weekend I have a 4 day weekend! Got a lot done around the house, and it really feels like home now. I'm loving it. I've also gotten a lot more comfortable out here. At first I found the darkness and silence to be a little eerie but, now I find it relaxing and peaceful. Well, I'm going to head out to the bar with some friends. Hope you all have a good long weekend!

I'm Back
Phew, am I exhausted. Just got back from the first vacation of the summer. Spent a little over a week on one of the nicest and most relaxing beaches I've been to yet. The reason I haven't posted anything in a while is because there was no internet access at the hotel. It's nice to come back to my brand new house though... over this last week I had forgotten just how much I love the new place.

A little creeped out
So last night, I was out pretty late with some friends I hadn't seen in a long time. I got home way later than expected, around three o clock in the morning actually. Most of the way home there was a car behind me, but it stayed far enough away that I didn't even think anything of it. It only caught my attention when I made the turn onto my cul de sac, which is a dead end. I thought it was odd but, hey maybe it was a coincidence.
I pulled into my driveway and the car that was behind me pulled into my neighbor's driveway. I thought, 'Hey, maybe one of the neighbor's kids is getting home late.' Then they turned their headlights off but kept the car running. A little bit on edge, I turned my car off and just sat in it for a minute, waiting to see what this person was about to do. After a few moments of waiting, I got out of the car. As I collected my things and then locked my car, the person in the car revved their engine a few times. I quickly walked to my front door, got in, locked the door, and peeked through the window. They turned their headlights back on, and pulled out of neighbor's driveway. As they drove by my house they honked their horn three times. Then the sped off down the road. Legitimately scared now, I ran over to my newly installed burglar alarm and set it. Because of the adrenaline, I couldn't go to bed just now... so I decided to have a snack and try to take the edge off.
About half an hour later, I was laying in bed. Now, the way my new house is set up, one of the windows in my bedroom faces the hill leading away from my house. So if a car were to drive towards my house the lights shine in through the window. I was just about to drift off to sleep when headlights glared through my window. I lied in my bed, staring up at the ceiling, waiting for the headlights to pass as the car continued around the circle. But they did not move. I got out of bed, and peered out the window. The car sat atop the ridge of the hill leading to my driveway, and flashed it's high beams on and off. Then they pulled into my neighbor's driveway again, turned the lights off, revved the engine three times, pulled out, turned the headlights back on, and drove off. Instead of continuing to the exit of the cul de sac though, the car pulled onto a side street. After about five minutes the car re-emerged, honked the horn once, and sped off.
I had a little bit of a hard time going back to sleep after this. I'm kind of nervous, and rightfully so I think. At this point, I'm just really glad that I had this alarm installed, because if something were to happen... no one would really know. I live in a house on top of hill, on a cul de sac, in the middle of the woods. I guess we'll see what happens tonight.

WOW
I had no idea how late it was! I need to get some sleep! On the bright side though, I just finished unpacking everything. Unfortunately most of tomorrow will be spent putting all my furniture and junk in place. If anyone wants to come over and help me furnish this place that would be lovely. Give me a call. G'night.

False Alarm
Ended up sleeping great last night! My new bed here is SO comfortable. I think it's that memory foam stuff that NASA made or something. Wherever it's from, it sure is comfy. I guess the guys at the home security place were right, probably just a bug. Well anyway, I'm loving the new house! The house is beautiful, and the yard is beautiful! I'm really thinking that this move is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'll post a picture of the house soon. Thanks for reading, whoever is...
