So Chad's family is from 2 small towns about 30 minutes outside of Pittsburgh, PA. Chad's Dad's family is mostly from Beaver Falls, PA and Chad's Mom's family is from New Brighton, PA. We 1st went to visit as a married couple in March, 2007. I was not sure what I would think but I LOVED IT! I would actually love to live there if we were not so tied to NC because all of my family is here and Chad's immediate family is here too. However Chad still has lots of family there that we can go visit. Below are some pictures of our Home away from Home! If we ever win the big lottery we will have a house there too!

| Chad's Great Grandma Young's House on their Farm. The house was 150 years old. She sold the house and the farm but lived there until she couldn't stay alone. She moved out at 97 I think, not that long ago actually. |
