Trying to make a new start

I've been really depressed for some time now. I mean, like anyone, I have good and bad days. But when I sit around a lot and think, it tends to be a not so good day. My keys have found themselves locked in my car several times in the past month. I finally got a second key made.

In Miles and my effort to make a new start we, despite the will of my father, rented a home together. It's a beautiful home. It's a studio-house with a big back yard.

This is the fireplace, I've got my tv mount sitting on the floor where we intend to put the tv.

 Here's a view of the kitchen. It's got a few problems but I don't mind them so much :) The lady who owns the house painted the entrance way half purple and half red, it's certainly got character.

 This is the "bedroom." It has a walk in closet! The first in my life! I am really excited about it. :) I put up a poster of Dexter in there, he doesn't stare right out of it though, he stares into the corner, like there's a man lurking in there.

This is the only picture I have of the backyard. I have done a TON of raking since we started to move things in. I'm only 2/3 of the way done with 16 leaf piles so far.

Everyone keeps telling me that the backyard is going to be too much work for me. I'm just so excited about it though. I've never been so excited to rake leaves.

My father though, he is not quite as happy as I am to have moved out of his home and into my own. He initially acted out by not talking to me, but now he . . . kind of talks to me. I decided to spend the night at his house tonight to try and show that I'll still be coming over and spending time with him, but I don't think it's going well. In this moment I can feel myself becoming more and more depressed being here. I'm going to stick it out though.

We have a long way to go before we finish this house, I can see it all laid out in my mind. Miles and I think it will be a good place to really start growing together.

I will take more pictures as the apartment progresses. :)
