Mom has been busy unpacking and decorating our new house for so long that I was confused when she pulled out the large suitcase and said, “We’re going on a trip.”
Turns out we were flying back to Southern California to visit my Auntie Cindy.
I got to meet the pilot of the plane, my new fur-cousin, and Wildwing, the Anaheim Ducks mascot. Plus, we went to the beach! Check out my blog post for lots of pictures of our trip to California.

This is one long road trip! I’ve been in the backseat of the car next to a pile of stuff that takes up the other half I usually stretch out on.
Today, in part 2 of my story, I share lots of pictures. There was this cold place with a giant hole in the ground. And another cold place with snow and rocks and tumbleweeds. Have you been to any of these places?

Mom says we are about to begin a new chapter in our life. Dad says a prayer for God to keep us safe, starts the Jeep and off we go on a road trip.
Mom made me pose for lots of photos when we stopped at the Jelly Belly Factory, Pea Soup Andersen’s, and Dewar’s Candy Shop. Read my blog post and tell me which picture you like best!

Moving is not fun. I’ve had to let go of things I love…
… The colored walls in my house are now painted a neutral white.
… The huge succulent plants that won’t survive in Tennessee have been sold or given away to neighbors and friends.

I have been to movies before, but never to a special event like a movie premiere. Flashing lights, big crowds, limos… I even got to walk on a red carpet!
I wanted to give my friend, Francine Rivers, a “Hello, I love you” slurp, but I controlled myself.
Today on my blog, I’ll show you some pics of Frannie and me at the premiere of Redeeming Love.
