Houses and Visits

Jon and I finally found a house that we really like! Hopefully this evening we are going to walk thru it again with my parents and then write up an offer. Praying it all works out because we REALLY like this house. It's 3 bedrooms 2.5 baths and it's two stories! It also has a great basement and an amazing yard! So keeping our fingers crossed!

Jon took his first section of the CPA exam. He said it went "okay"...typical Jon response. I'm sure he did well and passed, but we won't know until mid-September. Don't ask, they grade weird which is surprising since it's all on the computer! He takes another section on the 31st so he is still busy studying on a daily basis.

Next week we are headed to Michigan for Jon's cousin's wedding. We are looking forward to getting away and seeing family, and I lucked out because my best friend is having a Tupperware party the night we arrive!! Usually I have to catalogue order from parties she has since we live so far away, but not this time! Very excited! We also get to meet our newest nephew which is very exciting!

The weekend after our trip to Michigan, my brother and sister-in-law are coming to Pittsburgh for wedding festivities for a friend of theirs, but they are staying with us and my mother is having a Welcome Home/Congratulations party for my brother. (My brother was promoted to Captain after his year long deployment in Afghanistan.) I'm so excited to see them! It's been about 2 years since I had any quality time with my bro. The last time we saw him was at his wedding, which we didn't get to spend much time with him really. So it will be great to see him and Kelly.

In Julianna news, we are still potty training. It's going pretty well. She is also talking a lot more. She has learned so many new words lately. She surprises me daily with the words she has learned. I also learned that she can swim on her own with her life vest. She will get in the pool with us and just step off the step and start kicking her little legs and paddling with her arms. It's so cute! But she's growing up so fast! Before we know it she will be off to school!! I also realized last night that I haven't taken any pictures of her in the last 2 months. I think I need to remedy that problem in the weeks to come!

Well that's all that's going on in Pittsburgh right now. We will try to keep you all updated on our adventures! MUCH LOVE!
