Most people travel to other places, visit their families, and go on vacations in the summer. What I did this summer is my family and I moved to a new house.

First we got boxes and a moving truck. Then we packed everything up. I felt very tight in my stomach. I had to do too much stuff! Seriously, I’m not kidding!  We had to move a couch and a chair into the moving truck!  We had to take all the pillows off it and everything.

It took 2 days to put it all in the truck. It was burning hot in there! We had to dismantle and throw out my old bed. I had to sleep on a foam cushion on the floor for weeks!  It was kind of comfortable, so it wasn’t too bad. Then I a new one. The new bed is comfortable but everytime I wake up I’m diagonal!  

Then we unloaded the truck and it took a few days to get everything sorted out. Four of my cousins, three girls and one boy, had to come out and help us! My dog went running all over the backyard.  I think he was marking his new territory!  After we unloaded everything, my mom went to go get pizza! I broke out into a smile.

I feel good about moving. It’s quieter in our new neighborhood, but the air conditioning unit is right outside my window.  Even though I didn’t go on vacation I was still happy about my summer.
