the rake

i walked into their house Friday. it was empty and i couldn't help but to cry. our childhood was in that house. our adventures. i walked into Maggie's room and only little painted fairies smiled at me on the pink walls.
it was a sad day.
our outreach day was successful though, and i think we got everything out of my aunt and uncles house. we moved boxes and raked for a good majority of the day. but our hard work didn't go unnoticed. my uncle had ran out to the store and gotten every kind of candy you can think of. ever heard of caramel Reese's peanut butter cups? me neither, but that day i had one. all day Jessica and i spent as much time as we could with my cousins. we ate together in our secret hiding spot, we took as many pictures as we could, and what would a day with the cousins be like without hysterical laughing. it was great.
everyone loved that day.
