WHEN UH SANDI AND FRANK LIVED IN THE HOUSE FOR 15 MONTHS WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
IT WAS—YOU KNOW—IT WAS TOUGH.
STEP OUT. [UNINTELLIGIBLE.]
DO YOU WANT ME TO WAIT, OR? NO. OKAY.
YEAH IT WAS TOUGH BECAUSE YOU KNOW I MEAN YOU GO FROM JUST ME AND SHANANN AND BELLA AND CECE TO TWO OTHER PEOPLE AND THEN 4 DOGS.
RIGHT. YEAH ONYX IS…HE’S A TERROR. 100 POUNDS OF JUST HEAT-SEEKING MISSILE EVERYWHERE.
AND LIKE IT WAS—IT WAS COOL HAVING MORE PEOPLE AROUND. BUT LIKE IT WAS STRESSFUL.
YEAH. LIKE I MEAN ‘CAUSE LIKE WITH SHANANN, HAVING TWO DOMINANT PERSONALITIES IN THE HOUSE, WITH HER MOM THERE…
IT WAS KIND OF LIKE WHEN HER MOM WOULD TELL HER KIND OF LIKE HOW TO RAISE THE KIDS SOMETIMES. YOU KNOW LIKE DO THIS, DO THAT…
LIKE WHENEVER THEY WERE SICK SHE WAS LIKE “ALL RIGHT RUB PEROXIDE ON THEIR FEET.THEY’LL BE FINE.” IT’S LIKE, WHAT?
AND UH, I WOULDN’T DO IT. AND SANDI WOULD BE LIKE, “JUST DO THAT; IT’S OKAY.”
BUT IT’S JUST LIKE
LITTLE THINGS LIKE
THAT IT WAS LIKE A
CLASH EVERY DAY.
IT’S KIND OF LIKE
EVERY TIME I GOT
HOME I DIDN’T KNOW IF SHANANN WAS PISSED OR IF SHE WAS OKAY.
BECAUSE WHEN WE FIRST GOT THERE—WHEN THEY FIRST GOT THERE THEY DIDN’T HAVE A JOB YET. AND SO THEY WERE JUST AROUND ALL THE TIME.
BUT THEN LIKE ONCE THEY GOT JOBS AND STUFF I THINK IT FEELS A LITTLE BETTER FOR SHANANN AND STUFF BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T AROUND THE HOUSE ALL DAY.
BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY STRESSFUL VACUUMING LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY. YEAH? YEAH JUST LIKE I MEAN COOKING WAS GREAT. THAT WAS AWESOME THERE.
BUT—SHE’S A GOOD
COOK. I WAS ALWAYS
LIKE YOU KNOW—
BECAUSE THEY LIVED—
THEY WERE DOWN
IN THE BASEMENT
SO I WAS ALWAYS
REALLY TRYING TO KEEP THE GIRLS UPSTAIRS…
…WHILE THEY WERE SLEEPING SO YOU KNOW THEY WERE RUNNING AROUND DOWNSTAIRS. I DIDN’T WANT ‘EM TO WAKE UP. BECAUSE I KNOW FRANK ALWAYS TOLD ME WAKING UP SANDI EARLY IS NOT GOOD.
SO IT WAS JUST YOU KNOW FELT LIKE WALKING ON EGGSHELLS A LOT.
YEAH. IT WAS STRESSFUL? YEP.
YOU THINK THAT STRESSED YOUR MARRIAGE AT THE TIME OR?
I MEAN IT WAS 16 MONTHS. 15, 16 MONTHS.
IT WAS A LONG TIME. IT WAS GREAT AROUND THE HOLIDAY TIMES.
BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY THERE. ALL THAT WAS GREAT. SURE.
WE DEFINITELY NEVER REALLY HAD MUCH ALONE TIME. WE ALWAYS HAD TO PLAN IT OUT.
SO. YEAH. WHAT WAS THEIR PURPOSE FOR LIVING OUT THERE?
THEY JUST WANTED TO BE CLOSER TO THE KIDS.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE FACETIME A LOT BUT YOU KNOW IT’S NOT THE SAME. WITH TWO KIDS IT’S HARD TO FLY BACK AND FORTH I MEAN WHEN THEY WENT BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA THIS TIME THAT’S THE FIRST TIME CECE’S BEEN THERE.
WHEN SHE WAS THREE. FIRST TIME HER BROTHER EVER MET HER.
SO WERE THEY TRYING TO MOVE TO COLORADO PERMANENTLY OR THEY JUST?
THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT IT IN THAT POINT IN TIME. BUT IT—YOU KNOW—FRANK WOULD’VE STAYED. HE DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE. SANDI WANTED TO LEAVE. SHE WANTED TO GO BACK? YEAH.
YEAH IT WAS A MATTER OF LIKE THEY KNEW THEIR HOUSE WASN’T BEING TAKEN CARE OF—THEY JUST WANTED TO GO BACK AND BECAUSE THEY PUT THEIR HOUSE UP FOR SALE A LITTLE WHILE. BUT NEVER BOUGHT.
Romans 12:10
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
