Visit

So mom, dad, and becky came to visit this weekend. our first vistors!!! of many we hope... it was a whirlwind though! it went so fast. Saturday we went to look at two houses - one ryan and i both like and then one i really liked. both 4 bedroom, one had alot more character but needed alot of work. if you check out beckys blog you can see all the pictures- she took alot. (and tonight we put in our official offer) we hope to close by halloween. that would be so nice.

after the house looking we went into philadelphia and went through a real sketchy area...luckily we made it to the philly cheesesteak area and they were fabulous. (dont listen to becky) then it was off the traditional site seeings. we went to the visitor center and got alot of maps and things. then we saw the liberty bell and the alchoies in the group wanted to go to the city tavern. where they proceeded to get bombed. its hard to site see with drunkards so we went to ikea instead. what a store. it will be nice to go there when we get into our house. i'm not sure we would buy any furniture or big things though. its pretty contempory styled. We did see some covers for the pink chairs in our living room. then we went out to dinner and then vegged out on the couch. we wanted to play cards but i forgot all my change - so we watched tv.

it was so nice to see my patty poo...she is sooo much smaller than i remember, i think b/c i have only been around the big oaf for 2 weeks.

here are the pics from the day
