from city to country.

hey. my name is katrina stevens .. and this is my story. the story of a simple girl..

my family is seemingly perfect..at least to all looking in on it from the outside. i have the parents.. mommy and daddy. lol. and i have all the brothers and sisters that anyone could have.my life is technically perfect. i eben had the best friend and the boy next door thing going on too. lol. but what if this technicality of perfection isnt what it seems? i have lived in the same survey for 10 years .. almost my whole life. i moved after 4 years to a bigger house in the same survey, but i just moved up the street. lol. well.just before my exams in grade 10 the 10th year that i lived here and the 10th grade, i was in my glory when my best friend moved in. but see..here is the all is not what it seems part.. my best friend was kicked out because she was friends with me.. :S kind ghetto but thats life. lol. me and my family and now newly added member to the 'crew' lol... were forced to up and leave move very far away from where we lived for MY WHOLE LIFE! but my parents convinced us that this was going to be a good thing and that it would bring my family closer together.. in hopes that me and my bestfriend whom i like to call my eldest sister would be home more and that the children would get along better. my father was retired and was tired of being trapped in the polluted city and crowded by lawyers and bosses that constantly were on his back. so.. dad wanted to move. after the 4th year of living in the same survey though is when tragedy struck my family. my father was at an ordinary day at work as some guy that you would see hanging off your building doing somesort of construction. lol. and during his day at work a partner of his didnt do something right, and the lift thing that they were on.. jolted and my father fell from the building. no .. im only kidding ..lol. but actually he leaned so far back on the lift that he ended up breaking some disks in his back, and no longer was able to work..then began the fights with compensation...later on the ever so successful win and now here we are.. at his retirement. well, my father had been looking at houses since my before april of this year and finally found one that he thought would be a suitable choice. so there i was packing my house up with the fam and we were ready to move. our parents are the kind that could hate each other so much but at the end of the day would want to be with each other and wouldnt make the other sleep on the couch because the bed would feel empty. well except for that one exception..when my mother was pregnant with dillon my now 7 year old brother she slept in the 'spare' room beacuse she for some odd reason didnt want to sleep with my dad. but my parents moved us to a small town..marmora, ontario. i had personally never heard of this little place and it was bearly a speck on the map. how could my father find such a place.. well only he could find a place like that. and so.after the month of august we were officially moved and moved in at that. oh, did i mention that my father made my grandma come too? well he did. and my best friend and grandma arent big fans of each other...well.. we also clearly had to starta new school too and we now go to some place called centre hastings secondary school..my sister is in grade 12 (well supposed to be) loll. and i am in grade 11 and my other brother is now in gade 9. i think that he is the luckiest because he was never at a different high school and he gets to graduate in the same school that he started in. but the point is..that me and keshia had the hardest time. keshia is used to it though beaucse this is like her 4th or something highschool..only my 2nd. but we have made some new friends..met some good people, some odd and weird people and some people that may not be our friends anytime soon. lol. but isnt that how it always is ? i think it just may be ..except in my old school i was pretty much friends with everybody. but now we have those few 'good' friends and pretty much have the school memorized and the town that it is in and also our town too. during the summer when we first moved here we obviously didntknow anybody. but soon there after keshia and joe made friends with a boy that lived behind us. his name is sam. sam had soon became my friend too. and he showed a lot of cool places that we could bike to, walk to and chill at. lol. so thats how we know our way around the town .lol. but now it is christmas break during "school time" so that means we have lived in marmora ontario for 5 months now. i have become accustomed to how it is up here now.. well sort of. lol. i think that i will never be that much at home here because my home was in hamilton and that, i do believe is still where my heart is right now. .. so so far that has been my adventure from city to country.
