I took a giant leap today and saw my parents, an emotional visit but I'm glad I did.  It's crazy how much 8 months can change a person not only physically but mentally, god my little brother is adorable.  Saturday, Wes and myself checked out a place for rent claiming to be a house.. false advertising if you ask me, it was a garage with a fun-sized shed on top of it, so we'll continue our search to find something in our price range hopefully half decent that takes animals.
