'aunt' debbie's (and mineo's mmmmm)


A couple weeks back, Isaac and I travelled to Pittsburgh, to visit "Aunt" Debbie and "Uncle" Doug. Debbie and Doug are really my mom's cousins, so does that make them second cousins to me? Dunno.

But, to Isaac, they are Aunt Debbie and Uncle Doug. And, as usual, I'm terrible with pictures!!

Aunt Debbie and Uncle Doug are awesome and they have a gorgeous home with land in Pittsburgh. They were graciously storing things from my grama's house for me while my family and I made the move to Virginia. They wouldn't let me pay rent either. :(

They have always gone out of their way to help me and my family in times of need, like when my mom needed to move or my grama needed help with home maintenance after grampa died. They are very enthusiastic and available. So kind and generous. I have really appreciated everything they have done for us over the years.

We had a very nice time visiting and I got to meet Aunt Debbie's sister's and their family's too because it was Aunt Debbie's birthday and we had a party. The 20th anniversary of her 30th birthday...no...that's not quite right :) Delicious food, wonderful conversation, and the cutest doggie! Isaac got to play with Nathan, Debbie's grandnephew and we all had a great time.

I was enjoying the family visit so much, I didn't visit with any friends and neighbors from my time in Pittsburgh. It's so easy to get to Pittsburgh from here, that will just have to be for next time!

And, just for Dave, I brought home award-winning, super, ultra amazing and delicious (and FEDEX-able) Mineo's pizza: http://mineospizza.com/index.html. Those of you who have had this, understand. And, those of you who haven't, I might suggest giving it a try!
