Day of Remembrance...

Two years ago today thirty-two people were killed, then the murderer took his own life bringing the total body count to 33 but countless lives were affected on that day.

Today we remember the tragedy that struck the close knit community at Virginia Tech.

Blacksburg is 40 miles from where I live, but the shock of what happened that day went far beyond map lines and straight to the hearts of everyone. News coverage called it a "massacre", covering the story for weeks, causing an outpouring of sympathy from all over the world including other colleges who wore the Virginia Tech colors to signify their support.



Two years ago we wore maroon & orange to mourn the loss of so many; today I wear it to remember.

Exhausted but it was worth it...

I'm so glad I finally got through this weekend. I've been whining about it for weeks, but I got through it in one piece.

Since I'm extremely tired from this long weekend and I don't want to give a "play by play" and bore you to death. I leave you with another picture post of my life.

Enjoy!

Virginia Tech vs Georgia Tech (GO HOKIES!!)

Tailgating is awesome!


Lane Stadium





We had fantastic, FREE seats thanks to a business associate who couldn't go. It also included a parking pass right in front of the stadium. Woot!

SS's Baby Shower







That's me, my aunt and lil' sis holding "Beefy". She's looking at me because we were cracking up! We had tried this shot sooo many times and someone either closed their eyes or was looking the wrong way every time! The color isn't the best on this one but at least we don't look like idiots.

Or maybe we do...

Either way it was a great weekend.
