(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...

...They went to the park.



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!!!

(6.21)--UPMC, GC

Doctor's Appointment in Pittsburgh

My doctor's love to see me, and I swear that they schedule appointments just to see me. I also swear that they schedule sooner cause they miss me!! After my appointment I drove up to Johnny and Jason's house to visit Mr. Snuggles...

Mr. Snuggle is STILL alive!!
(Please note--Lindsay came to watch too!)

Mr. Snuggles supper...

I won't post the pictures o' Mr. Snuggles eating his supper, but it was very interesting to watch. I don' think I've ever seen a snake eat in real real life.



Then I headed over to go to church with Doug, Heidi, and Caden!

Caden all dressed up for church.

Playing NERF with Uncle Johnny...

Caden got shot and was playing dead.

Me wearing Heidi's clothes...

YAY...for being able to have a bigger wardrobe!

I enjoyed spending such a wonderful time with Doug, Heidi, Caden, and Johnny!! Wish the drive wasn't so far away! Love them all and miss them all!!

THE END!!!

(6.19)--Trip to Maryland.

Taking a Trip to Maryland

Ace had been looking on eBay for different things and came across 12 replica Lord o' the Ring swords in Maryland. So one Saturday, we decided to drive down to Maryland, look at the swords and make a day o' the whole ordeal.

Walking around the streets o' Maryland.

I was disappointed I couldn't do any o' my bike stunts...
Some o' the buildings where we were walking...


Cool waterfall thing...

Waterfall on the side o' a building...

There's a BIG church building back there...

More waterfalls...

FEET PICTURE...they're my FAV!!!

Some pretty daffodils...

Wish my camera took better pictures...

The U.S. Depositary...Haha...

Me and Ace...

We were walking around and there was a wedding going on.

Here they are taking pictures...
The Bride and Groom...
...no we don't have a clue who they are!!
Haha...look it's us...

Ace was getting sick o' the picture thing...

I thought arches above the window looked cool.

Awesome looking house?
On the phone...Haha...

There's the reception for the wedding...

...I tried to talk Ace into stopping by for free food...

Tunnel...Haha..can you tell I'm bored in the car...

I want the to name an alley and put an archway over it.

We stopped to eat at Lake Placid...

My Drink...Water with Lemon...

Ace's food...Almond Halbet Sandwich I think...

Chicken Fettachini with Onion Rings...

Baltimore Street...in Maryland..Haha...
(I thought it was funny anyway.)

I wanted to jump and get all the money out o' this fountain.


More buildings...really fun taking pictures...

Us in front o' the waterfall...

He really does love my kisses...

...I promise...

Ah...finally back to good ol' Pennsylvania!!


What a great way to spend a Saturday, driving down to Maryland and looking at swords, eating supper together...good times. Praise the Lord for a free day to have fun together!!

THE END!!!
