The Move

Life Lesson #1: Never say never!

After a very hard week starting on Dec 3, with the break in and the selling of the company Ed was working for, and other factors..... We put house up for sell (which we signed a contract on before we left),had a huge yard sale, packed up the remaining & moved back to Ohio. Of course we chose the coldest day of the year, 3 degrees with wind chill of minus 100 ( at least it felt that way) that was Sunday Dec21.

Life Lesson #2 : God Always Has A Plan!

This is a lesson that we as Christians have to learn over and over and over again, maybe it will sink in one of these days! Just at our darkest hour God shows up just in time! I was able to transfer back to my old plant and Ed was able to get his job back at DiPietro's again.

At the Peak

This is the view from the begining of the trail

Ed and I thought it would be fun to go to Griffth Park and walk one of the trails. The trail wrapped us around a moutain and we took it clear to the top. I got a kick out of the rattlesnake sign. Edd didnt think it to funny!

Santa Monica Beach water verrrrry cold

Santa Monica Pier

Elmo in Hollowood

Didn't think Sesame Street would let Elmo come to Hollywood by himself but there he was!

Thanksgiving in LA

Our trip to LA was really nice. We were able to cook dinner for Ang, Matt & Arron, pies and the whole smear. I believed they enjoyed the feast!

We did some sightseeing in Hollywood, Ed got an eye opener there! Its not as glamorous as seen on TV! It is fun to visit once or twice just to see the kooks & characters!

HOME INVASION!

After the trip to LA we came home to find our home invaded! We believed that they were in the house when we returned home from airport, too many things that were easy to pawn were left!
Pic 1: is our bedroom where they were trying to take our desk top and monitor
Pic 2: another view where drawers were ransacked & jewelry was taken
Pic 3: entranced point
Needless to say our kitchen renovation will be put on hold until our home is more secure IE: more outside lights and a security system! Maybe even a BIG SNARLY HIGHLY TRAINED GUARD DOG!
