A place we call "HOME!"

Wow. Its been a whole month now since we have been living in our new home. And. we. are. loving. it. Time sure does pass, but every moment has been filled with fun, and exciting adventures right here in our beautiful town. We've got a park that has been visited twice. Mowing every week, in a yard that is around 3-4 acres. Snapping picture after picture. Shopping trips. And friendly folks.

Lets say being busy lies in my area. We finally have the whole house unpacked, and turned into a normal home. Mowing takes hours. House cleaning. Shopping. And a garage that needs cleaned out so we can have a yard-sale. Not to mention some baking goods, and sewing projects that need accomplished to sale during the yard-sale. Then before I know it, I'm gonna have to start on Christmas presents... But I'm not gonna think about that right now. No way. =P

But I'm loving it. You won't believe the awesome shots I've taken. When I say its beautiful here, that's no joke. My favorite things are being able to walk to the park. To the Dollar General. Watch and hear a train that comes riding by everyday. (And at night, being I sleep on the top bunk, you not only hear the train, but my bed starts shaking... and you *almost* feel as if your on the train itself. ;)

Life is just too good. And we serve the greatest and most wonderful God. I could talk about his creation, and our new home all day long. But I shan't do that. Instead God blessed us with something better. Not only do we have mouths to TELL. But we were blessed with EYES to see. And a camera to SHOW you! So you just hold on, and you shall enjoy everything I have... in a glimpse of a few minutes. *Smile*



The road leading into town. =)



Our Police Department. We also have a Fire/ambulance Dept. A couple different stores. (Haven't been to them, so I'm not sure. :P And a restraunt.




At the park. They have a walking area, basketball court, and some swings. I love going to walk, or enjoy a game of Basketball. I hadn't played in two years. First shot was a score, but-*cough*- I might add after that you could tell I hadn't played in so long. =P









I loved being up close. The railroad tracks are right beside the park, so one day while over there this beautiful-long train comes by, and lets just say I took more than enough pictures. ;)



I'm sure that will satisfy you all for now. That isn't even 1/4 of all the pictures that I have taken, but its about Supper time, and secondly, it would take all day to upload. :P More pictures will be coming as the weeks go on, but for now you get a glimpse of our house and homey town. Enjoy! And May God Bless you all! Till Next time... <3

Hi Grace,
Moving into a new house is certainly exciting! After all the sweating over carton boxes and bags, and unpacking... it is simply lovely to enjoy the home God has blessed you with! I know how it feels, since I've moved quite often with my family over the years :).

I just wanted to say that I have been blessed by browsing through your blog, as well as your sister, Rachel's. It is always such an encouragement to see other young ladies on fire for God and serving Him faithfully at home!

I live in Australia by the way, in a sunny little corner of Queensland with my family... I was just inspired by your lovely big family and thank God for your testimony! God bless.
In Him,
your sister in the Lord,
Joy

Your house is lovely, and your town sounds great! I'm glad to hear you're all getting settled in your new house! Thanks for posting!
I hope we can begin emailing again soon! Again, I've missed you!
