Securing it Even More
We’re currently back at three around here. I mean, this used to be people-filled small house which is our dwelling place now has just three active but not-that-noisy dwellers– the hubby, myself, and our little girl. Yesterday, we sent Ma and Pa off to Peoria Airport for their Las Vegas destination and when we got back here at home, it feels so silent. Ha ha. And since we are in a not-so-secure neighborhood, we stopped by at a home depot store to get some exterior and interior door hardware to tighten our home security even more, especially during night time. Last night was our first night to be just the three of us here and it feels so awkward to be passing by the living room with the TV not in used and with only the wall frame lighting the whole room.
You see, this house that my SIL owns used to be a houseful of loud and funny but loving people. But life’s reality which brings everyone to the different places for jobs makes this dwelling place becoming empty by and by. First, SIL’s best friend who used to live here with us is now in California to join her family. Then, SIL herself moved to Las Vegas when she chose to work at UNLV. When Nora, another friend of ours decided to stay in Vegas with SIL when she’s here in the US, it makes us lesser even more. Now that Ma and Pa joined the Vegas atmosphere, we three are left here. And it won’t be long till we’ll move to Wisconsin for good. By then, it’s gonna be goodbye Illinois and we’re completely up for that challenge. 
The good thing is, even with how silent this home has become, neither one of us is complaining. HAH. Can you tell we all love peace?
