The big move part 2

Well, as I left the last entry as a bit of a cliff hanger I guess it would be a good idea to get right back to it. As the order I discovered things is a little unclear in my mind, I am just going to list off all of the wonderful things about the place. Lets organize my discoveries using the senses. First, smell... the house smelled horribly like mold and cigarette smoke. Second, touch... i made the mistake of walking up the main enterance of stairs in bare feet and i got nails poking through the "new" carpetting into my foot. There is not much i can say for taste since  I wasnt in a hurry to lick the walls, which now that we are on the subject had black smoke stains on them (nice "fresh paint job"). What could we have possibly heard? You are probably going to guess "The neighbors." Well if you guessed that you are wrong. Surprisingly enough we could hear the train 10 to 15 paces out our back door. And a train went through about 5 times a night.  Lastly, sight (Well thats only if you are not a believer in The 6th Sense). I saw my first ever stink bug in the bathroom! Then I saw my second stink bug and third stink bug... i saw a stink bug whenever i walked into the bathroom. Also, we saw many  wonderful ants. I discovered that there was old flooring from the 70's and chipped floor boards despite the fact that the ad online had said "new flooring and floorboards throughout".
Trying to see the silver lining in all of these we drove around the area a bit. It turns out there was more new and exciting stuff to see that I really had not seen anywhere but the downtown eastside in Vancouver BC. Only with slight differences. Not as many homeless people, but just as many, if not more, prostitutes. Also it was quite obvious that there were a couple of drug pushers right on our street. They would walk up and down the street in broad daylight. 
So as we stood in our living room in disbelief, Brandon speechless, me crying, Belle laughing, and Tami thinking, we all knew there were more obstacles than one between us and leaving the "bug house." We didnt know what was going to happen, but it was clear we would be having a sleepless night.
