Historic Dwelling

All I know about the H-R House is that it was built in 1743, to be the home of General H, the last governor of this town to be appointed by the British crown.
The current owner of the house also told me this weird story about the house being under attack at some point, and the General shooting back and (arguably?) inadvertently killing a boy --a mistake for which he had to flee the US... I think it's a bit creepy.

But moving on...

Many thanks to my amazing friend Ceme.... aaaaand...

Fotillos!!


My room...







The restroom is too small, too white and too bright to take decent pics of, but here it is anyways :P






My favorite room in the house...


The main entry:


The office:



The crazy stairs in the house!


The breakfast table in the kitchen (and Dunster the pug):


The kitchen (sorry about the blurriness :P)

I moved!!

¡Ya terminé! Por fin... ¡Gracias a Dios!
I will post pics of the place later.
I got to the house safe and sound. Didn't kill anyone either :) Took the car back to the rental place in one piece. Zero Killed. Very proud of myself.
I am so sore though! And so ready to be done with papers...
Going home in two weeks!! WUJU!!

Thanksgiving was great :)!!

Many tenkius to the boy's parents, his sister (and husband), and the cool uncle for sharing their holiday with moi. It was good seeing you guys again... and it was a fun turkey lunch, and an exciting game... good times :)

Una corta oración de agradecimiento...

I am grateful to you, truly grateful and aware of how much you have blessed me. You've blessed me, most importantly, by blessing my family and the people I love. This year has been one of both terrible and wonderful news. But you have been the powerful hand behind our blessings and my source of strength when all seemed to go wrong. Gracias, Señor. You've also blessed me with the wisdom I found in my parents' advice and the peace of mind that Q's tempered reason and loving support always produce in me. Gracias por sus vidas.

I am grateful that my friend Janie is well, and I am grateful to have been able to be with her for just a bit. I am grateful that though it has been a tough transition for her, she is a strong woman, determined to be happy. She IS happy, and she deserves to be. I thank you for her strength y por las promesas que tienes para ella.

I am grateful that Fer is doing much, much better. And I am grateful that he will be graduating this may, conmigo este año! Gracias Señor.

I thank you Lord for my new roommie.

Te doy gracias por este año, por todo lo que pasó y lo que no dejaste pasar. Por todas tus bendiciones, Señor, te agradezco. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
