How Philly are you?

I Billy Mulligan, just took this quiz. If your from Philly check it out.

I scored a 95% on the "How Philadelphia are you?" Quizie! What about you?

Costumes, Cross Country, Courting, and Cake, OH MY!!

So, this weekend was full of adventure as well! First we started our weekend with an awesome costume party celebrating the birthday of our awesome friend, Allyson!
A good time was had by all, of course. Whenever we get together it is fun. Second, we started our Saturday off with watching some cross country meets along with a soccer game. Everyone we knew did a great job! Then Billy's parents came in for the weekend for his birthday. It was great to have them. They even came to youth group and answered questions from the kids about their dating experience, since we are doing a series on dating. We did a round of the dating game again this year, and we'll do another round next week too. When we came home from youth group that night, Billy had a surprise waiting for him. The kids from the youth group beat Billy home, and had tepeed our house and blown up balloons and filled the inside of our house with them. Billy went to the neighbors house to ask them to describe the vehicles that had been there, and they said there were too many vehicles to describe. :) Well, they did a good job tepeeing. Hopefully it will never happen again. Happy Birthday Billy! Today Billy and I got to spend the whole day together, and then our friends took us out to dinner for the best burgers in town at Main Street Cafe. Here are some pics to help recap the weekend.

Pro Golfers, of course.


Birthday Girl!


Sherlock Holmes!? Is that you!?



The winners for this week's round of the Dating Game
Happy 26th Birthday Billy!


What I want to know is, where are the cops when carloads of kids are tepeeing a house?

"Win today and we will walk together forever."



These are the words of the one time Philadelphia Flyers coach Fred Shero just before game six of the Stanley Cup Finals in 1974. What an application for christians today! Today is all we have. Let us live like it. By the way the Flyers did win that day, and to any hockey fan names like Bernie Parent, Dave "The Hammer" Shcultz, and Bobby Clarke are golden. Forever etched on a cup that is the highest honor in their sport. That year three words would send chills down any opponents spine...Broad Street Bullies. Who will remember us and by what name will we be called?

All that to say life can get pretty busy. It is important for us to relax and take some time alone with God. We can only win with God. And our hope is stored up ahead of us...forever.

Busy...busy...Bee! A lot has happened! A Baby! A Baptist Camp! A Bathroom!?!

1. The Baby

8lb 13oz Daniel Lee Hostetler. Congrats to Mom and Dad!

2. The Baptist Camp

I took 6 Jr. High Girls and my wife on a 7 Hr van ride...and came back SANE?!? But we had a great time and it was B-E-A-utiful. The camp is called Lake Ann Baptist Camp and it is in Lake Ann, MI.

3. The Bathroom

Not Sure if I really want to know what goes on in the "Special Activity Restroom" of A.I. Root Middle School.

Oh and My parents are coming in this weekend, please pray for my mom who is worried about leaving the guinea pig with the vet. She says he sounds like a "Mad Scientist."

Well, sorry for the delay in posting. We've been busy! Here are some pics from our trip to Philly last week! Billy did a great job performing the wedding ceremony for his cousin Kellie and her groom Dave. Congrats to both of them. We had a great time hanging out with them while we were there. It's always good to see family.
