My First Entry!!

My first entry well let see? my name is Amanda and I come from a family of 10 children. I was born and raised in Arizona and just recently moved to Washington State. I moved here with a very good friend and her family. It was kind of a spur of the moment kind of thing. I have always wanted to move somewhere it’s cold and it snows but I didn’t think I would really do it. I have been here for almost 2 Months and WOW the weather is a lot different that Arizona. Much nicer. I was born with many medical challenges and continue to do well with them. I am Partially blind and partially Deaf.
　
Moving 1300 miles was rough on me and my family and still is. We traveled during the heat of the summer without AC. It took us a bit longer because we were pulling a trailer behind the car. We traveled through
Arizona
Utah
Idaho
Oregon
Washington
Our last night on the road we were almost to Washington and we got a flat on the trailer tire and slept on the side of the road until the morning. That was an eventful night. Did you know when you go through Oregon that when you stop to fill up gas that they have customer service come and fill up your tank, all you half to do is just pay for it. That was awesome.
We found a little house and within a couple of weeks were able to move in. If you sit out on our front porch you can see the Columbia River it’s about a mile away. We have already gone to the Columbia river and went swimming. It was COLD.
Now we have settled in our little home and the kids have started school FINALLY. The schools in Arizona started school in the beginning of August and the kids here started last week. WOW we were so ready for that. The kids love there new school and all there teachers. If you would like to know me more just add me on Myspace or Facebook. Thanks for reading
