No we are not going to the Super Bowl ...Physically! But of course in Spirit!
We are hoping to be in our house by the Super Bowl and so are our neighbors in the apartment I am sure.
The video shows the progress made this weekend. Thanks Albrights for all of your help. The movin' song on the videos is getting old I know but it is the only song that isn't really weird and since we are moving it applies. That is what you get when the songs are free. Plus it takes a really long time to sit and listen to all of the others... so listen to the Steelers Polka over top of it if you'd like!
We plan to continue putting the flooring down before the carpet installers come and to tile all of the bathrooms too this week. A lot still to do and the boys both have colds, but to quote Big Ben, "THE LORD IS GOOD!" And these things are minute in the scheme of things.
Go BLACK and GOLD!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Another few days have passed and things in the house are coming along. Almost a functioning kitchen as far as cooking goes. The oven is in but needs to be wired. Mat is so good about all of those things. I just attach the blades to the ceiling fans and hold things...otherwise I am useless.
The boys are definitely ready to have one house and so are we. Kohen is really confused about where he actually lives still and it seems like every time we go to get something it is at the other location:)! Oh well, only a couple more weeks to go. Once we have carpet and flooring the move will begin ASAP.
It is freezing here as I am sure it is where most of you are. The Albrights will be joining us this weekend to help us celebrate Mat's 31st birthday on Sunday! Wow is he getting old?!?!?! We have an open house in Ephrata again on that day and of course the Steelers game...we are hoping for two big birthday surprises for Mat! Super Bowl and an offer on the house. :)
Stay warm and more pictures to come next time.

We're Blessed!
Sorry it has been a while. My sister has been asking if I have changed the blog...so I am changing the blog! If you noticed the title and you know my Dad..you get it. His signature response to "How are you?"---"I'm blessed!" and so are we.
The past week, we have been crazy busy getting the house, that God has provided us, ready for the big move in. My family came to visit and worked NON-STOP WITHOUT COMPLAINING AT ALL for days. Two and a half days to be exact and really they never complained once. We painted all but two room and an entry way. WHEW!!! Buddy smashed her hand in the ladder my dad just bought (for our many projects) and kept going like a trooper. Dad was literally painting corners and edges on an extension ladder with one of Kaleb's very small paint brushes to be sure it was perfect. Mom watched the boys for hours on end and I think, I hope, enjoyed having quality time with them and TJ did whatever was asked of him and of course entertained us all the whole time.
How blessed we are! In spite of the sore bodies, various paint colored well everythings---we had a great time too just being together. I love them all so much and really hope that the next time we get to see each other we can just relax and enjoy the fruits of their labor. I will enclose pictures of their hard work and update as we go.
Did I mention the boys' rooms are painted to look like a football field with true to life Steelers on the wall? GO STEELERS!
