            Walking into my house is already cool. You get to see my father’s cool cars in the garage that he loves so very much. You can smell all of his car-care products along with the laundry that he does in there. You open the door to my house and our alarm system goes off, beep, beep, beep. My dog is usually there to greet you at the door with her tail wagging and a look of happiness to see you. Right in front of you, you can see my sisters bedroom that was just re-done because she wanted her room to be downstairs. My mom loves to cook, its what she does when she is bored, so when you open the door on the days of her boredom you can usually smell something delectable, like a pie or a fresh plate of brownies. Then you walk right into my room where I can truly call my favorite place to be.

            (Room is usually clean; mom is throwing a garage sale this weekend). In this room I first show you the door with a glass door connected to it. Usually when it is a weekend or summer time, the door is left open and the glass door is there so people can just walk in and out. The sound of that door opening on those weekends puts a smile on my face because you never know who can be showing up. My friends who usually come don’t even tell me when they are coming; they just come on the random. Then I show you the couch, which we just purchased this spring. It’s a tan L-shaped couch and it’s very comfortable.. Picture in your head, that couch is filled with a bunch of guys laughing uncontrollably having a good time. That is what you would be walking into if they weren’t all at college. Underneath the couch lies the carpet, which is a maroon colored carpet that has been there since we bought the house back in 2002. You can usually smell food all around the house, because that’s all we do, we sit there until we are all starved and then we will go on a road trip to McDonalds or WAWA. Moving forward you look around the room and you can notice probably the most random artwork you could ever see. There’s a picture of a tree, a leaf, New York City, and Yankee Stadium. Only one of those pictures is something that I can relate to, which is the Yankee stadium picture, I am a die hard Yankees fan You can also see the TV where hundreds upon hundreds of movies have been watched and thousands upon thousands of hours of games have been played.  You also get a quick glimpse at my Xbox 360 and my PlayStation 3. Then we walk over to the bathroom. In this bathroom lies the most unique artwork around the entire house and most of it was brought back from a Punta Cana trip that me and my family went on about 7 years ago. It is tiki themed, and there are masks and statues of tikis. There are also numerous amounts of reading material.

            This was my favorite place to be. Not only is it my favorite place but it is also my home. It’s where I have grown up for the past 18 years. The memories in this home I will cherish forever.
