I moved again sophomore year, it was the year I came to Hartland. Our new house was on about 11 acres, and it had a barn and it reminded me of my first house although Hartland isn't as small of a town. I remember the first time that Ava saw her new yard, she started jumping around and spinning in circles and running as fast as she could with no real direction. Seeing her so happy made my heart happy, she could finally run free without needing a leash. I sat on the edge of my driveway and admired our new place. I couldn't hear any traffic, only the sound of birds chirping and Ava snorting as she rolled around in the grass. There was a comforting warm breeze that seemed to welcome us as we all sat outside. Everything about this home made me happy, it was our new permanent home and I didn't have to worry about moving until I headed off to college. Ava found a stick and brought it over to me as I threw it and watched her run after it, I realized that this was where I belonged. Out here on some land, not in a city. I felt at home.
