hometown glory.

aren't these the cutest, someone at our realtor's office made them for us!


this is the progress we have made in the past 2 weeks:

chey and dave treated us to a phillies game and some yummy food and drinks at chickie's and pete's the friday night before our moving weekend. we had such a great time, even with the thunderstorm! thank you so much, we miss you already!
