Hello from the city of brotherly love!  I got here on Friday afternoon and since then it’s been a whirlwind of activity.  I’ve visited friends, re-learned how to parallel park and eaten the best grilled cheese sandwich on the planet courtesy of the South Philly Tap Room on 15th and Mifflin.

Of course, I also went to my friend Katie Jo’s wedding, which was beautiful.  And her block-party reception which was lots of fun despite a little rain.  I got to dress up in my wedding outfit, complete with flowered headband (which was a couple of fabric flowers that I got at Michael’s and attached to a headband purchased from Ulta).  Here’s a picture of me, Katie Jo, and Ann (we were all roommates together during my second year living in Philly):

Well, I’m off to have brunch with friends, so I can’t write more about my Philly adventures now.  Stay tuned this week though, when I get home I’ll be writing Alethea’s 2 year update and Lydia’s 4 month update.  That is, I’ll be writing those posts after I give the girls lots and LOTS of hugs and kisses.  I miss them even more than I thought I would!
