Countdown to Augustina: The Cabin

I came home from Utah with three boxes or pictures (not tiny boxes either) from my  parents’ house since they’re moving. I browsed through them today and came across a few of our family cabin we had awhile back. My parents sold the cabin when they went on their mission to England, so we haven’t been there in awhile. But…

I loved that cabin!

In fact, I loved it so much, I wrote it into SADIE and AUGUSTINA.

Sam Jackson’s family owns a cabin up in Whitefish, MT, and the four guys go up their every Christmas Break to ski. Sam’s cabin isn’t exactly like my family’s cabin, but it definitely has similarities: huge great room, two-story stone fireplace, loft, large pine walls, wrap-around deck.

With AUGUSTINA a week-ish away, I thought you might want to see it. :)

• Side note to my dearest family: Don’t kill me for posting these pictures. Here. I’ll mention to my blog readers that the pictures are at least 10 years old, and we’re all much skinnier, prettier, and more stylish now. *cough*. Plus (1) I didn’t tag any faces or name any names, and (2) I’m 1,600 miles away so what can you do to me? :) Hopefully, the pictures will bring back great memories. We all loved the cabin.

So here they are:

I hope those give you a better idea of the cabin mentioned in my two books.

Only more week until AUGUSTINA!!!

Do you picture Sam’s cabin looking at all like our family cabin?
