Read the given summary of events, and write a longer story which covers everything described in the summary. The story you write should be longer than the summary you read, but should not repeat itself. The story should be made up of sentences which form a cohesive and logical sequence of events, and should be long enough to fill two or more paragraphs. Do not omit any details which were given by the summary. Make the story such that the summary is an accurate characterization of the paragraphs you write. Adding extra details in your story which are not mentioned in the summary is okay as long as they don't contradict anything in the summary.

I spilled my beer when I was all alone in the house. and my house is much quieter when my wife and children are not here.But I love the loudness some time to.
I wish I could get over my alcoholism. I genuinely want to change and I've managed to convince my loved ones that I've started the process but I'm no different from I was two weeks ago when I spilled beer in the empty house. I want to say that it's the beer that caused it but it's me. My behaviour has driven my wife and kids away. She took them to stay with her mother in California and I can't stay sober long enough to drive and go see them. I wasn't always this way but after I lost my job, I lost my purpose. I feel so cold and desolate all the time. Or at least, I felt. Even though I am no different, I have the hope that I can change. I've found religion and its my faith in its power that I've told my loved ones that I will change. So paradoxically, my lie was not at all insincere. When she left that morning two weeks ago, I went for comfort in what gave me misery in the first place. I took a case of beer from the basement and I drank and cried. It wasn't until my last beer that I looked into myself, drunk though I was, and realized that I must change. I went to the bookshelf and took up the only book I thought had power - power for me to overcome. I spilled my beer purposely while alone in the house. As I read the verses in John, I felt strength that I never had before and I stumbled to the sink to pour the beer out. I threw out my whole stash. I still have the desire but now I have hope.

Finished moving today and it was painful. My girlfriend is not happy about the split, but I feel much better.
Today completes the my move to a new apartment. It's been a long emotional struggle over the last couple months and the last week for sure. It has come to fruition and my girlfriend in not happy about it. I know it's the right thing to do. I had to protect the kids, I just didn't trust the living situation. But, it has come at a cost with girlfriend and me. She is very emotional about it, lot's of outbursts, getting mad at me. She has been trying to tear down the kids a bit and really doesn't like my son. But, deep down I know it was right, the kids are happy. And I'm excited to get our lives back on track. I'm not sure what will happen with girlfriend and me, but we are trying to work it out. girlfriend is coming around a little bit and I think deep down, she knows this needed to happen. I think she will become even more comfortable with the situation. I feel bad for her, she has so much to process. With her first it's always a struggle and I think her last is just running roughshod over her. The actual move was excruciating! I'm tired, my knees and back hurt and I'm exhausted. It was a week of stairs, boxes, trucks and pain. I hate moving.

I was included in helping with the preparations and was able to suggest ideas to make the event even more special. We worked on this for several days and finally decided on a romantic dinner on the beach with musicians being done at sunset.

After working very hard we were able to pre-order the dinner. We used several different tactics/questions to figure out what to order for the couple, without them knowing anything. It was fun picking out the food. We talked to the concierge about having musicians come also. We talked with them and discussed the type of music we were hoping to have as well. We went to a bakery. Had them prepare a special dessert. It was personalized with their names. We had stopped at a florist. We obtained flowers to put on the table. We did this prior to the couple's arrival time. Everything was in place and went smoothly. We watched for a few minutes in the beginning. We saw that she was extremely surprised and happy, which was the goal. We were also to take several pictures from where we were hiding.
