(6.30)--New House, Moving Day

We are HOMO---wners!! (:

We Bought a New House...!!!! Yay!!!!

It was so awesome to see the Lord provide for this need. For some time now, we have been house hunting. Because Ace is so good at fixing up the house, he was frothing at the bit wanting to move out. We looked at 4-5 houses and we were starting to think there wasn't anything in our price range...then we looked at "The Barn House"...I named all the houses we looked as not to get them confused with each other. Anyway, as we walked thru the house we loved it!! We could see such potential...we also made a list o' things we HAD to have in the house, and this house had all o' them. Here's our list:

We wanted off street parking....................................CHECK!! 2.75 Carport!
Ace needed a work shop place...................................CHECK!! One Car Garage!
I HAD to have TWO bathrooms................................CHECK!! 2 FULL bathrooms!
A guest room for visitors/family that visit...............CHECK!! Half finished basement with full bath!

So as we finished looking at the house we stood underneath the carport and said to Heather (our realtor)...can we make an offer on the house?

They accepted and we were going to be HOMEOWNERS!!

We signed papers to buy our house at 9:00 a.m.

We are HOMO......owners!! (:

We started to move stuff at 9:15 a.m. when we got back to the house.

Our first letter addressed to our NEW address!

It took 3 HOURS to get everything from the old house to the new house!!

Pizza from OIP for all the hard workers.

We had SOO many people that helped us.

Mama McCall & Ashley

Aren't they so cute?

My favorite Uncle Chucky came to help too...I love him!! (:

Hannah and Ace taking a break.

Nick taking a break after carrying a buttload o' boxes!!

So nice to see Hannah and have her help us move!

Me telling everybody what to do...

Haha..I just love this picture...

Which way should we put the bed...

Choosing the right spot for the bed is a REAL concern!!

Haha...such goofs, aren't they?

Look how strong they are....SUPER STRONG!!!

Ace checking out our attic...
...we will not be putting stuff up there...

Ash and Es taking picture o' our progress!!

Me and my li'l sis...ASHLEY!!

Mark and Matt stopped by to visit...

Weston putting his knee pads on...safety first!!
(last time he fell and got a BIG gash in his leg)

I just love this girl...she's so flippin' sweet!

Susan LOVED this wallpaper!!

It was so awesome to have everyone help us. We had 5 trucks and a trailer! We filled up each of the trucks 2 time...and 3 o' the trucks and the trailer we filled up 3 times!! We moved everything in 3 hours...which is unbelievable! I also realized that we had soo much stuff!! The goal is to get rid o' a lot o' it!! Hopefully, we shall see how that all works out!!

So awesome to have such wonderful friends to help us move!! (: So thanks to everyone that helped! I didn't get a chance to take many pictures cause I was busy unpacking items that we'd need for THAT night!! It's so awesome to see how the Lord provides for us and for our amazing friends!! (:

THE END!!!

04--Sakura

A Sakura Birthday

It was John's birthday so we all decided to go to Sakura for a big birthday bash! To help me get ready for the party, Stephen and Stephanie helped me get ready so I would be looking GOOD when we went out for people to see. Haha...

Stephen said my sock looked like a duck!!

If this doesn't look like trouble, I don't know what is.

While we were in Sakura and I was nervous to use the bathroom. Some restaurants and gas stations have horrific bathrooms, so being the paranoid person that I am and realizing that it takes me an hour to get to the bathroom, I asked Susan to tell me if it was clean. So she took my camera and took pictures o' it for me! Haha...so here are the pictures.

The bathroom...

The sink...

She particularly liked their light cover switch...

Wacky Wednesday at Old Navy.
We stopped by the mall to pick up a few things. When we stopped in at Old Navy, the manikins were all mismatched and hilarious. There were li'l kids with man heads, big men with li'l kids head. It was hilarious...so we just HAD to get our pictures taken with all the manikins.
Bi-racial and transvestites manikins...

We had a great time at Sakura and John had a great birthday...we hope!! Running around the mall was so much fun, I got quite the workout with using my crutches. I'm getting pretty good at them! Also, my arms are getting stronger and stronger...so yeah!!

THE END!!!
