taking things you should not

well, things have been pretty dramatic the past couple of weeks.

2 weeks ago, our house got broken into.  now, we're down about $5,000 and have no televisions, xbox, laptop or camera.  sometimes, i wonder how people can be so terrible to one another.  how can a human have the mindset that it's okay to break down another persons door and take things they have worked hard for?  it's mindblowing to me.

but, we're slowly coming together and getting over it.  my parents are replacing the broken door, installing a garage door and security system within the next week or two.  corey and i are somewhat moving back.  i'm quite a bit more hesitant about it than him.  today, i called the police because of a 'suspicious vehicle' down the street from me.  i think i'm developing a type of paranoia ocd.  i check the door four or five times when i leave to make sure it's locked properly.  i prop chairs in front of the door when i'm home alone.  i peer out the windows every fifteen minutes or every time i hear a noise.  i need to relax.

we went to the beach with kelly & lew last week.  even though we were dealing with all the break-in stuff... it was a much needed vacation.  we literally sat on the beach for three days straight and ate entirely too much food.  

bills are piling up.  i had to get new tires, oil change & inspection on my car right before the beach, which was over $500.00.  Wonderful timing, to say the least.  We're not really thinking of trying to buy back any of our stolen stuff just yet.. neither of us has enough money for it.  coreys parents were generous enough to let us stay at their house for a week.  they even gave us a tv so we aren't completely out of touch with the world.  

trying to keep myself busy and positive.  i don't like being in the house by myself, so i'm keeping myself out as much as possible.  going to hang out with corey's mom before i go to work tomorrow (hopefully we'll get some stuff figured out for renters insurance and boring stuff like that).  thursday, i'm hanging out with corey's aunt at the pool and going shopping... and hopefully out for jana's birthday that evening!  

i'm just a very grateful person right now.  i'm so happy that everyone is okay and only material possessions are missing right now.
