Moving

So my family has moved into our new house....finally! So a majority of this past week we have been unpacking and sorting through everything.

This is how our house looked for the good first part of the week.

So the bad thing about moving to a new town is that all my friends are two hours away from me. However 2 of them are real sweet and have taken time out of their busy schedules to come see me. Nathan came and stayed the night and was a real sport when I forced him to go shopping with me. Oh plus I know he has that ugly thing on his face in the picture above but he was a wise (and kind) man and shaved that thing off before he came to see me because he knows how much I hate it!

Even my love Della came and had Sunday dinner with me and my family. We had a real good time. We had a good talk, sang a lot, fought over my room decor, and she spent the night. I love her more than bacon!

Then one day I made the journey to go see my friends. My dad had to testify in a murder trial. I watched part of it, I felt like Olivia and Elliott from Law & Order should have been there by my side. So after viewing part of the trial I spent time with my best friends from high school. We went to Chili's and my friend John hugged me of his own free will. Now granted we have been friends for over seven years....what can I say he moves slow. So
I do everything in my power to make him uncomfortable. Like sit really close to him or grab his hand in public....he hates it. After lunch we all went and hung out at Della's house watching movies, eating junk food, and going through all our past yearbooks making fun everyone. Then the boys left and the girls stayed up late discussing the coolest places we had ever made out....my sister, Rachel definitely won!

So when you get a new house you also get a new ward. I love my new ward and I'll tell you why. 1. Now I usually don't like family wards because our last one had children that screamed so loud that you couldn't hear the speakers. I always wanted to go back to the Puritan ways and have someone there with a stick to bop children on the head with when they were misbehaving. I prayed that they would make that my calling in our old ward...the ward stick hitter. Instead they made me a Nursery leader. This ward however the children are cute and I just make faces at them during sacrament meeting.

2. Our organist wears a bow tie every Sunday

3. I'm not told every Sunday how I should be dating, not hanging out, and that I should be getting married.

4. My favorite young women's leader is in our ward now.

5. We have cute little black woman who wears a big hat every Sunday and during the lessons she yells "Amen" and "That's Right" in her adorable southern accent!
