Happy News and Sad News

First, for the Happy News:

The Phillies won the World Series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a crazy game 5, spanning over 2 nights due to some ridiculous weather, but they pulled it off, giving Philadelphia their first sports championship in 25 years!! Needless to say, Philadelphia was a bit ridiculous Wednesday night judging from online photos and pics messages received from our friends who were there (sooo jealous!!) Here are a few stolen from websites and received on my phone:




William Penn is taller than all of the buildings in Philadelphia again. The curse is broken!

And now for the Sad News.

Pappy (my grandfather for those of you who don't know him) passed away Tuesday afternoon. He was 87 years old. He knew everyone and always had a great story for you whenever you saw him. We enjoyed some of the stories during our last trip home in September (including one about "Glow wood" and another about cutting open a big snake to find lots of little baby snakes inside). Pappy will be greatly missed and going home will not be the same without him there.

I'm so sorry about your Grandpa. That's always sad to lose a grandparent.
