NEW HOUSE!

We finally have a house...mostly. We first looked at this house when we started looking 7 months ago. It was not on the market for too aweful long and then it got an offer. We were also going to put an offer on it at that time. So we knew we couldnt get it and went about our search. We recently found that the original offer fell through so we put our offer on the house and got it. Praise be to God! We have not closed on it yet, but will be very soon...pending inspections. It was built in 2005 so it should not be a problem. Here are some pictures of the inside of the house. Enjoy.

Our Friends...

Last night we went over to our friends Stephen and Michelle's house for a cookout with them and another couple we hang out with. As we were sitting around just shooting the breeze and laughing at the children (and Tony) I realized how much I was going to miss getting to do that. Not that we won't ever get to see Stephen and Michelle but I will miss getting all of us getting to hang out like we do. I so enjoy the time we all spend together! P.S....thanks for the motorcycle ride Stephen! :0)

An oldie but a goodie of the six of us....

4th of July Weekend

The 4th of July weekend was really nice. We headed home to Decatur for the weekend for our usual gathering, however, this year we were also having a combo 4th celebration and wedding celebration for Tony's sister who got married in February. It was really good to see everyone. I had the opportunity to meet my new nephew and two nieces (brother in-law's children). They are really sweet kids and a lot of fun. Ten out of the twelve grandchildren were present from the Schurger side as well. That was really fun. It isn't very often that everyone gets to see one another. It was good to catch up! On the 5th we went and cooked out at our friend's Josh and Leah's house when we got back in town. They taught us a new yard game that doesn't really have a name. Tony calls it "cupolebe". Don't ask... :0) Because of the weather, Gas City had delayed the fireworks until that day. We all went that night to watch them and had the best seat in the house. It was a very tiresome but wonderful weekend!

Tony and his brother doing what we did all weekend....play yard games!

Okay, so this isn't a great picture of me, but I just had to show you how cute this little dog is...I LOVE HIM! He belongs to my sibbling in-laws. He is so old but looks like a puppy! If he comes up missing, don't look at my house!

The yummy cake a family friend made for the party!
