Post Secret

I have been a lover and admirer of Post Secret for quite some time. On Thursday I had the opportunity to go to my first ever Post Secret event!!! It was fantastic! I made an 8 hour road trip to get there - 4 hours there, 4 hours back.

Along the way . . .

Danya tried beef jerky for the first time ever: it was delicious!


Listened to Glee volume 1 & 2


Made some fast and furious like moves on the freeway


We didn't actually have tickets when we go there, BUT thanks to some kind strangers in line we got 3 tickets! Thank you Richmond :)


Listened to Frank tell the history of Post Secret


Best Part of the trip: Frank singed my book
Thanks Frank, you've given me several great memories.


At the end of the night he told us "Free your secret and become who you are." So as a challenge I am inviting everyone who reads this blog to share one of your secrets with me. In return I promise to share one of my secrets with you. I also will share with you a special website that Frank gave us with access to 90 additional Post Secrets. . . . Happy Secrets :)

Pittsburgh...

So it's TRUE... I'm applying for jobs in Pittsburgh. I recognize this is random, and slightly odd which makes it right up my ally. SO I thought I would do a Pittsburgh by the numbers to help you see the appeal.
10 universities
2 stakes
16 state parks within the greater Pittsburgh area
200 interactive exhibits at the Carnegie Mellon Science Center
3 rivers - Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela
1 YSA Ward- AN ACTUALLY WARD!!!
3 professional sports teams; baseball, football and hockey
1 super legit Andy Warhol museum
1,200 places to get a pierogi
10 museums
1 international airport

Having a puter makes me a BFF

Most people I know LOVE to have their picture taken. I'm not quite sure what it is about having a camera in your hands, or a Mac with an internal camera that makes everyone want to be your best friend.

My niece Masyn is only 3 years old and is seriously giving everyone, even you craig shipley, a run for their money! Last night I came home and she said 'uhhh brooke can we take pictures on your puter' She can't quite say computer yet so we just call it a 'puter' and my oh my did she bring out the cheese.
