Big Sister. Repeat.

Two sister-visits within a month of each other.  Yes, please.

Day 1:

Tour de Harford (the leaves are changing, I love where I live!!)

Day 3:

GO UTES!

4 am - wake up

d.r.i.v.e to Pittsburgh ("pitt-stop" to drop Hazel off at Grandma's)

my sweet-online-deal-hunting-ticket purchase resulted in 35 yard line, 4 rows up, right behind our team, for the same price as regular "visitor" nose-bleed tix

VICTORY!!  Go Utes!!!

discovered that not all of Pitt is a pit, and had a tasty dinner

l.o.n.g. drive home

(oh so early, oh so excited!)

Day 4:

Primary Program practice

"relaxing" afternoon

stroll on the boardwalk

cookie-makin' 

dance party

 Kellie is an a.w.e.s.o.m.e sister.  When I was in 5th grade (she was a fancy-pants senior), she picked me up from school in "The Kid", her purple VW slugbug (old-school style), rockin' out to Phantom of the Opera (on tape, of course).  That is the moment I realized my sister was cool.  Like, super cool.  Her cool-factor has never changed, she is the kind of person you want on your team.  I am so glad she is on my team.  Thanks for coming, Kel, come back soon!!  

(Rita's will be waiting, as well as the Halsey's).
