I have lived here since the summer of the year I turned nine. My house is located about seven miles west of town. Our house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a basement that we only used for storage. My sisters Mandi, twenty and Taunya, eighteen share a room. My sister who is twenty also has her daughter live in this room. My sister’s room is almost twice as big as my room though. We have the bigger house between my aunt and my grandma, so Christmas and Easter are usually at our house.

The first few years we lived in this house we had real pine trees for Christmas, but they always made a mess by shedding needles everywhere. We have a full acre of land in our backyard. One day my sisters and I were playing baseball. My sister was batting and I was catcher, she finally hit the ball. When she did this, she threw the bat back and ran. The bat came back fast and hard and busted me right in the nose. I remember I bleed at over the place.

I remember another time before we had the foundation under our house; my sister was mowing the lawn with the riding lawn mover and ran into the siding on the side of the house. My house is a blue/gray. The walls on the inside are white, but the bedrooms have wallpaper. I have little pellet holes in my wall because I used to shot my gun in the house despite what my parents would say. In our yard we have a few row of trees. The carpet in our living room is a dull brown color, and the floor in the kitchen is white. All the bedrooms have the same carpet as the living room. Three rooms in the house have ceiling fans, my parents, the living room, and mine.
