As I am typing this, I am laying in the room I have grown up in for the past 15 years. Tomorrow morning I will be moving to Morton, Ill. I'll be leaving the town I have lived in since I was born. My family, some friends, my girlfriend and I have been moving stuff since Tuesday into my new house in Morton. I always said I hated living in Canton, Ill., but I really didn't.
My room is basically empty. The only things left in it are a bed, a couple dressers, a chair, a desk, my mini-fridge and my TV. The walls are barren, and my closet is completely empty. It's a surreal feeling that tonight will be the last time I will sleep in this room. My friends and I pulled countless amounts of all-nighters in here. We played hours and hours of video games, which always led to trash talking. It's finally starting to hit me that I am moving tomorrow.
Although it is sad that I am moving tomorrow it is also very exciting! Our new house is awesome. Three-car garage, and I basically get the whole basement to myself. What's not to like? It's funny how we are moving to Morton though. In high school, Morton was by far my most hated school to play against. They were cocky in every sport, but they were never very good. When we would play them in basketball, it was basically a football game. Both teams would throw cheap shots the whole game, and I would always come home bruised after playing them. I'm not in high school anymore, so all that doesn't matter anymore. I am excited to start a new chapter in my life!
The worst part about moving is leaving the people you grew up with. I am leaving several people who mean the world to me. The pictures I have put below are just some of the people I have grown up with. Most of these people I have been friends with since pre-school. It is just crazy to think I won't be living in the same town as them tomorrow. Love all you guys!
