Just like twins

I had a random thought while going through years and years of pictures trying to get them organized. My sister and I look like twins...
Well except everyone thinks she is older... she has brown hair... and brown eyes...

One time, when we were in Florida a woman came up and asked us if we were twins...
Right...
Although most people ask if we have the same Mom and Dad!

Twins or not I love her!

Back in the land of the living

Well the last few days has turned out a little different than we anticipated. Last Thursday Bryan and I were planning to drive down to Kansas City to surprise Janell and so Bryan could interview there. Thursday morning brought coughing, sneezing, nose blowing and stuffiness. So, we had to cancel. Bryan got it first and then generously passed it on to me the next day. Through the weekend we were quite a pair, passing the Kleenex and the juice.

Bryan had to leave yesterday for his trip to Milwaukee and then on to Chicago for interviews there. So I stayed home from work yesterday to recoop. It paid off and I feel a lot better today. But this was not a fun cold.

I was so sad that I wasn't able to see the Doudrick family. I even planned ahead and set things up with Jeff... oh well, I guess it will have to be another weekend!

So I have been out of commission for the last few days but I am back and hit with the realization that I have some serious Christmas shopping to do. And it begins tonight, at Patina...

*Christmas cards are a little delayed due to the traveling and cold season, but they're coming, PROMISE!

Trip Updates

Well, it's been quite a whirlwind the last week or so. Here is a brief update:
Bryan got back home on Saturday night, and we left on Sunday for Cleveland around
5am, we got to Chicago and then found out our flight was canceled and rescheduled for the next morning. We were on stand-by for two flights and finally got on one around 11pm, which put us in Cleveland around 1am. Bryan had to get up at 6am for his interview at 7am!
During the interview I was working on booking an earlier flight out of Cleveland to Vermont since the storm was moving east. So I ordered room service (a big salad and diet coke) and started calling.
I got us out that night and we arrived in Vermont monday night around 1am, luckily all we had the next day was dinner with the residents.

~We had an amazing vaction/interviewing which was so nice because we had not spent more than a couple days together and no one else was around!

~We visited Stowe, the little ski town which was beautiful. We also visited the Trapp family lodge, which was where the Von Trapp's moved when they left Austria! It was cool and had a great view!

~We also ate at this weird restaurant that was fully of dog stuff... pictures, curtains, names of food... you name it. But they had beer so Bryan was happy. (That is him with his beer and the dog candle holder!)

We had a wonderful time, and it was nice to be together and not have anyone else around! Here are some pictures from our trip!
