The Five of Us! : Home sweet Pittsburgh my home!

We went to drop some stuff at the Elder's home in Mt. Washington so the whole family came along! Justin has been wanting to take us up here for months, and we just never have gotten around to it. Well that and it has been hot and muggy most of the summer. It was the perfect night! So beautiful! The weather couldn't have been more perfect! If we hadn't had the girls with us, I can imagine cuddling, and an occasional kiss! But since they were with us, mostly just family pictures came! Lylia and I were in our comfortable clothes because I had been packing, cleaning and all sorts of stuff all day long. Justin just luckily always has a suit on so he out shined us both!

Anyway the city was beautiful! I will miss Pittsburgh so much! We only have 2 and half weeks left, and I am starting to feel not only overwhelmed with all that I have to do, but very sad too! Justin and I didn't know what to expect upon moving here, we just really looked forward to coming to somewhere new that we could call our own city. Pittsburgh will always be in our hearts in a very special way!

Our ward here has been so good. At first when we moved here I was going through some depression, and I wasn't out going at all. But ever since I have been able to stop working, having Megan and being a full time stay at home mom, I have had time to come out of my shell. I have let my heart open up finally to the people of Pittsburgh, and now I will miss them forever. My dear friends I will miss from here. Sister Eror who keeps trying to make me call her Mary. Julie King who has just been a good friend to talk to! Candace Dyal just the greatest neighbor and friend I could have asked for. Laura Waite who is so fun to chat with, and is an inspiration of a clean home that I aspire to have, and fall short of all too often. Laura Crawford and her husband Grant. She truly is a sweet woman! Sis. Stoddard and Bro. Stoddard who were wonderful examples of how to welcome new people. Irv who holds Meg for me during church and kisses her and loves her so much! Bishop Lyon who was such a comfort to me during my difficult times here. Mel Felt my next door neighbor who was an example to me of reading the scriptures on the bus! The missionaries Elder Lucio and Elder Van der Spek who gave us the missionary drive again! Sandra and Adrianna who gave me the opportunity to serve and love them. Kim at work who was my only true friend there. Interplay who was my saving grace with Lylia when I was working full time, and needed someone to love her as much as I did. Miss Val and Ms. Valerie, Stephanie. My friend Michelle who is just such a great friend, and makes me laugh on facebook. There are so many more that I could say that have touched my life for good. I truly have been so greatly blessed being here! I am going to miss Pittsburgh more than I want to show. I know that when we are leaving tears of sadness will flow. I will miss my home very much! Because that is what Pittsburgh has become to me, my home!
