Burglary

So we had our home broken into yesterday. They didn't take much, a laptop, PS2, a bunch of DVD's & a digital camera. But it is a really strange feeling. Besides the laptop, which had some personal items that can't be replaced, it was only material items that with a few thousand dollars can be replaced. That sucks but it is not that big of deal. But there is something very bothersome about having had your house broken into. You always here about how people feel violated or unsafe. I have to say I can see how that happens but that is no really what I am feeling. I am rather feeling like things are out of place. It took CSI around 6 hours to come by to finger print and during this time we were not a lot to clean up. I tell you the urge to clean was overwhelming. The cops total us of a couple just yesterday that clean the whole house even before they got there. I fully understand that urge now. I really wanted to put everything away and actually scrub the apartment. It was not that I did not feel safe but I didn't want to be in my house anymore. I want to leave. Not move, just leave for the night. Yet at the same time I was worried about leaving all my stuff in the apartment. I am very glad I have Soren. I know if I were to walk into my house and someone was in here that he would maybe not protect me but would definitely be a deterrent from someone trying to harm me.

Oh well...a couple of interesting changes because of this. Holly closed her bank account and is just joining mine. That is a big step in the getting married. It makes me happy.
