When I tell you the first day was H.E double hockey sticks I mean it. Unpacking and getting everything in my room was not the funnest thing to do. That room was like 2x smaller then my room in NYC. I was gonna tell my Dad about how much smaller my room is but I couldn't do that because I can see how much my Dad is trying to make this new setting work. Oh god and that night was horrible, I have never slept on a air mattress. So you can just imagine how that went down. I got up around 4 am to get water because I couldn't sleep and when I come down stairs, my Dad was sitting at the kitchen table holding a picture of my mom crying his eyes out. I have never seen my Dad cry not even on the day my Mom died.

 I knew what I had to do. I walked over to him and I just sat there hugging him. I have never felt so at peace but at the same time i felt sick to my stomach. I don't know why i felt like this but i did. I had no clue what to say as we sat there but then i got an idea, I jumped up and I yelled "we are getting ready and going to run around town so we can get the know this place". Yes we got up and walked around town at 5 am.

 Seeing my Dad smile, made me realize he was so happy to leave that house, as much as i will have to cope with this. At least my Dad is happy. We went to ever single shop open and at about 8 or 9 can't really remember we went and got food, this breakfast place was the bomb! I got pancakes and my Dad got this taco looking thingy. When we got back home me and my dad went straight to fully unpacking and getting the house decorated, we were dancing and singing to music that neither of us liked but it was so much fun to spend time with my dad and not have to worry about anything.
