last thursday night between 5-7 pm the house that we rented in florida was broken into. the window was smashed and they allegedly entered through that window. we how ever suspect that is not what happened and it could have been an 'inside' job.
i personally 'only' lost my allergy drugs (they are often used to make crank) and get this....nathaniel's gold fish cookies.
the strange thing is my gold chain that i literally snapped and broke seconds before leaving the house was placed in the center of my dresser in plain sight. it was left (i chose to believe that their eye's were not let to see it)
cry lost her new baby, her i phone. rose lost her rings and jewellery, camera and video camera.
they left all our canadian cash.
we locked away most of our valuables in the van (lap top, passports, $)
it was interesting to watch how each of us dealt with it.
shawn was the most peeved. i think it's bec of his training (he is training to be a cop) and his anger at not "protecting" us. the military back ground does not help.
i personally was in shocked. as i cleaned up my room, putting stuff away, folding what they messed up, realizing that they touched my stuff. when i got to nate's bed, i was steaming mad. the shock turned to all out anger. fine mess with my stuff. but to touch my son's stuff. i was mad. angry. shaking. they went through his crib, ripped apart his bed and emptied his clothes on the floor.
as i went to bed that night alone. i missed chris. he always makes it right. i had to do this alone. i turned to the big g. i told him how i felt. he listened.
i then did one of the hardest things. i chose to forgive and speak blessings and joy upon those to violated us. i pray that one day they will hear about the one who has the power to change their life. so who ever you are, where ever you are...may your life be blessed to over flow....and may nathaniel's gold fish fill your belly to overflow.
sure my innocence to feeling safe is gone. i have to work on not being afraid. i chose to grow from this.

i have this crazy fixtation on houses. i love walking in subdivisions. i especially love walking where i haven't been before to 'discover' things. down the street from our house is the above house. this house is on the left. across the street on the right is the house below.
this cracks me up. seriously. then again it doesn't take much to make me laugh
so after our walk, nate and i went to the park. there was a bunch of older kids already playing. they were drawing maps in the dirt with sticks. nate went over to investigate, then he walked away, picked up a stick and joined them. if you clicky on the pic you can see him bent over, drawing with his stick.
then we went for a walk in the wood where nate found this large rock to lift. but he couldn't.....
it's hard to pick up a large rock with a cookie in your hand. nate chose the cookie.
little boy, big world
