Wedding

The other day (Apr. 3rd to be exact), Justin and I were able to go down to State College to witness one of my best friends, Shonna, get married to the love of her life, Dan. I was honored enough to be her maid of honor! After like a Noah's ark type of rain, Justin and I made it down the two hours and got to hang out until the rehearsal. It was really nice, although I met one of the scariest women pastors' in the world! Made me pee my pants lol. The next day was chaotic...especially when the hair stylists' place had no power! Yeah, luckily the women were able to figure it out. Shonna and Dan had a beautiful wedding and the feeling of love was clearly felt throughout the entire place. May Mr and Mrs. Dan Preston have a wonderful and blessed life together!

I started thinking about our wedding. It was such a wonderful day, even with everything going wrong. I know that our married life isn't always the easiest but I'm so lucky to have him as my husband. He's such a wonderful guy. Justin works so much harder than like anyone I know and I appreciate him so much for trying to make a good life for Justin and myself. He'll make a wonderful dad someday and I can't wait until I see the loves of my life, cuddled on the couch sleeping. I love him so much and am honored to be his wife!

House Hunting, Part Deux


So, our house hunting might possibly be done. You see, we looked at the three houses I listed last time. Two were pretty good but enough things wrong in them that we wanted to keep looking. We were going to look at 3 last Sat, but 2 ended up selling and the owners of the 3rd called at like 11 pm Fri and said that their kid was sick. Possibly a lie but doesn't matter. Anyway, that morning Mark P. and Robin (Justin's mom) both called telling us about a for sale by owner house which seemed too good to be true. Like 3 beds, 2 full baths, new everything! But Justin called and finally got a call back from it. Luckily, we were both at a time when we could go look at it.


It's up on Wetmore St. above Patterson's Lumber. It's like the second to last house on that road. It's blue. A good sized yard. There's an apple tree, peach tree and grapes there. And also a shed. There's 2 porches, one enclosed and they're going to work more on the second. You walk into the kitchen. New fridge, dishwasher, stove and microwave and front loading washer/dryer. Expensive "Glitz" (what the owner called it) is above the counters. And the walls are really thick! And awesomely quick heat throughout the house. Pretty good size living room, with a door leading out to the enclosed porch. A downstairs bedroom which also has a door to the porch. Then you go upstairs and there's a long hallway that has two bedrooms and a second full bathroom with an area for a vanity! Justin and I absolutely love it!


There was a couple that looked at the house before us and were set to get it but it was taking awhile to deal with their bank and they said that they knew there were others interested in it and to just go ahead with the next couple...US! So God definately blessed us with this house. It seems to be His will and I hope that He blesses this other couple with a wonderful home of their own. Now we just hope that all of the paperwork and inspection goes well. That'll be the only thing that takes the house from us. Please continue to pray for us all.
