Our Own Little Horror Story

SOOOOO...

On monday, Kim and I went on a little adventure,

An adventure that began our own little horror story.

Eh-Hem...Once upon a time....

Michelle and Kim went on a walk (Sunday, Feb. 28) starting at our apartment and ending on the shore of Utah Lake, and then back to the apartment. This walk was most likely about 4 or 5 miles all together, which is an accomplishment, so Snaps for Kim and Michelle!

Their walk let them to a blocked of road. Beyond the blockade was a normal, happy looking road, so they passed and kept walking.

Then they spotted this house that Kim thought looked rather pretty. Surrounded by blue sky, weeds and barn, she decided it would be perfect for an engagement picture or something later in life.

Unfortunately, as they got closer and then even closer. . .it wasn't so pretty anymore.

{ SO, this is when I enter the story. }

Their walk was on sunday and Kim wanted me to see this house on Monday. We drove to a park a couple miles away, that was in the path of their walk. Right near the park was the blockade that they passed through, so we got out the car and we passed through and began our journey down the lovely, paved road.

We spotted the house.

Kim says, "There it is..."

I Say, "Oh man..."

Of course, even as we get knotted, sick feelings in our tummies, we continue to walk closer to the house. I needed to see it up close. We walk and we laugh and everything is great and happy...

And then we're at the house.

Ooooohhhh, it was spooky.

Everything about it was creepy....it was so far from abandoned.

Every window was shattered; the doors were gone; every wall we could see was trashed; graffiti everywhere...You can only imagine what could have happened there throughout the years.

There was a very uneasy feeling in the air....

So we left.

...slowly...

Neither me or Kim are very brave souls, so there was no way we were going into the house or in the back yard, or anywhere near it closer than a few feet.

We walked away, but we led ourselves to a very random wooden platform that looked so so old and so out of place.

It was all very surreal...I was being a little more brave than Kim through it all.

Happiness comes back into our lives when we decide to take a sit in the road...

And take a sit we did.

A few different sits. It was our little "In the Road" photo shoot.

All was well.

Throughout the adventure we made up our own scenarios of what could have happened at the house, and what could happen to us if we were in a real horror film.

However, everything turned out pleasant, so there was no need to worry.

Scary, happy, sad or exciting...we accept what comes our way...

And we love it! :)
