This is from my friend, Lynette's blog.  It is supposed to be a Wednesday blog post, but this is Saturday and I have time.

So I don't forget......A few weeks ago, she suggested we talk about the first house/appt./abode we had when first married.  My Baby and I lived in a duplex that I currently drive by just about everytime I leave my house.  It was two bedrooms.  Had hard wood floors throughout.  Nice sized livingroom, for just the two of us, probably for more if we had stayed there longer.  The kitchen was also the dining area and the laundry.  We lived there for about two years.  Terk was born in the front bedroom.   It was actually a nice place to start out.

When we moved, we moved in with my parents.  That was a mistake, but we grew from the experience.  I would say our marriage was stronger due to the stretching that time with my family and the four years afterwards caused.

Shortly before we left, my dh was doing some work for the landlords under the house and discovered that the previous owners or someone had decided to just disconnect the drain line for the bath tub on the other side and let it drain under the building.  Can we say,,, EWWWW!  YUCK!!!  It was moldy.  On top of that, the exhaust/ air return for the heater was under the house.  No wonder we all had colds all the time, it was probalby actually a reaction to all the mold under there.
