I got married when I was 17, pretty young. Since my husband and I were both going to college, and had a job, we didn't even try thinking about getting our own place. A year passed, and we lived in the dorm, when my mother said she found this gorgeous old house in a small town somewhat close to our college.

It was like a duplex, housing two families. Brad, my husband, said we should move in. My mother and I made a deal that we helped her buy the house. Soon enough, we bought it, before Brad and I even had seen it.

Finally, it was time for us to move in. It was on our Christmas break, and we had gotten everything packed up. We followed the moving van, and soon we entered the small town. It didn't look very modern; the houses were huge and old looking. It seemed like a dreary place, full of shadows. All of a sudden, there were less and less houses as we drove on, and they become shabbier, uglier. Is our house going to be the ugliest, most isolated one? I asked. No, our house has been fixed up, it’s so pretty. And it’s a bit isolated, in the woods, she replied. Woods? As soon as I thought of it, woods appeared, and we drove by them.

After a couple of miles, a big house loomed up in front of us. It was huge, and just as mom said, beautiful. It didn't look shabby, just old and mysterious. Great, I thought. This would be fun, moving in!

我17岁时结的婚，年纪还很小。因为我和丈夫都有工作还要上大学，所以根本就没想过找一个属于我俩的住处。一年过去了，我们还是住宿舍，一天妈妈告诉我她在离我们俩大学不远的一个小镇上发现了一间很漂亮的老房子。

那是一个连排别墅，可以住两家人。我丈夫布莱德说我们应该住进去。我和妈妈约定我们和她一起把房子买下来。很快，在我和布莱德还没见过房子的情况下，我们就把它买下了。

到了我们要搬到那的时候了。当时正是圣诞节假期，我们已经将所有东西都打包好了。跟着搬运车，我们很快就到了那个小镇。那看起来不怎么现代，房子很大很古旧。这到处都是阴影，显得很沉闷。突然路旁的房子越来越少，也更破败丑陋。我问：“我们的房子不会是最丑最孤零零的吧?”妈妈回答说：“不，我们的房子已经整修过了，很漂亮。不过确实有点偏僻，在森林里。”森林?我正想着，我们就经过了一片森林。

又开了几公里，我们面前出现了一座大房子。它很大而且正如妈妈所说很漂亮。看起来一点也不破败，只是有点旧有点神秘。“太棒了。”我想“这里一定会恨有趣。”搬家喽!
