Moving on up!
The family of four moved out of their small apartment into their very first house. It was only a street away from where they used to live in Crafton. Her parents thought it would be a great place to raise a family with the elementary school within walking distance and a park down the street. -
Now she is a middle child
Now Liz is the middle child, since she has an older brother Chris and now a baby sister Connie. -

Go! Fight! Win!
When Liz was a freshman, one of her friends dared her to tryout out for varsity cheerleading. She wasn't a typical cheerleader, and she hadn't participated in a youth or middle school cheer programs, but she did like to dance and go to games, so she went for and made the squad! That was a defining moment for her because it set up many opportunities in the future including later on coaching middle school cheerleading. -
Clear the roads!
After failing her driver's test the first around, Liz finally passed after taking Driving Lessons. Her parents bought her a 1989 white pick-up truck to drive to and from school. Liz was mortified every day when she pulled into the school parking lot. -
High School Graduation
Liz spent four years at Carlynton taking her schoolwork very seriously. She also participated in a myriad of extra curricular activities while she was there including cheerleading, student council, NHS, stage crew, and more. -

Switching Schools and Switching Majors
After spending a semester at Robert Morris University as an advertising major, Liz decided to leave and transfer to Penn State Altoona and switch to English Education. Liz would spend the next year and half there participating in cheerleading and other extra curricular activities. Liz also met her best friend Jamie in the dorms. They are still best friends today. -
Graduated from Penn State University
After 4 years of hardwork and dedication, Liz finally graduated with her degree in Secondary English Education and Communications. She spent her time while in school working at TJMaxx and volunteering through THON! -
Life at CV
My life changed forever when I met the great a Mrs. Holleran; she has had such a positive impact on my life and serves as role model for me both as a teacher and the kinds of parent that I one day aspire to be. -
And they lived happily ever after...
After four years of dating, Justin and Liz get married in Pittsburgh's West End. -

Let's Go Bucs!
Liz and her husband decided to buy a 20-game plan for Pirate Season. While they really weren't baseball fans yet, they enjoyed spending time at the beautiful PNC Park and liked the idea of having 20 guaranteed things to do together...even if that thing was watching the Pirates lose over and over again! -
Bought a house!
After a month of visiting multple houses, we purchased our new home in Kennedy Township. We spent several long days repainting, scrapping wallpaper, and recarpeting the place until we could really call it home. -
Rescued Gibbs!
Our lives were changed forever when we pulled into the shelter to pick up our new dog. When we picked him out, his name was Silas, but we decided to change it to Gibbs. Gibbs came out of the Ohio's Pets for Prisoners Program. Basically, he spent 6 weeks in jail learning socialization skills and basic obedience.
