New, New, New!

  This has been a year full of new things. Towards the end of last year we started going to a new church, and making new friends. My sister and I both started learning how to drive this year, and also have began going to youth things at our new church. My mom, sisters, and I went to a ladies retreat in March. We went to two church camp outs, one for youth and one for families. My first book was published. So many new things have happened!!!

  In September, we moved, so that was new too! Not only are we adjusting to a new house, but also adjusting to many aspects of a new road and neighbors and everything.

  A month and a half after moving, our dear old Suburban’s transmission went out. We traded her in for the large price of.........................................................................................................................

............................$100. Yes, after all these years we’ve spent with her, she is now scrap metal. My baby brother was born in the Suburban so its definitely filled with memories! Anyhow, I figured I’d show y’all some pictures of our new house and new van. 

It's a silver twelve passenger van.

There are lots of neat locks on the door.

Our friends gave us a big table.

We are hoping to get a sofa in here.

Aren't old-fashioned doorknobs neat looking?

Here's the school room.

Here is my sister's bedroom.


Can you tell she likes books?

Here's my room.

Here's my other sisters' room.

My other brother and sister's room.

This is a wood stove in the basement we use to help heat the house.

This is the family room upstairs.

Here's the guest room!

Well, that's all for today! Did you enjoy the tour? Have you ever moved? What's been new in your life lately?
