In a few days I will be traveling to Pittsburgh to visit my Mom. I grew up in a small town south east of Pittsburgh called McKeesport. It was a great place to grow up and after college we moved to Houston, Texas, where we still live in a suburb called Sugar Land. I miss Pennsylvania – the scenery in Western Pennsylvania is beautiful and I’m hoping the leaves are changing colors.

One of the reasons for this trip is to take child #4 to his first visit to Heinz Field to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Baltimore Ravens. It was a Christmas present last year and he is so excited to go. The tickets were delivered today, he has his Steeler jersey and can’t wait until kickoff. My husband is also excited about the game and we are hoping the Steelers will have their second victory of the season. I’m not going to this outing – it’s going to be a father and son event. My Mom and I will watch it from her house. Go Steelers!

It’s going to be a crazy week and weekend but I’m looking forward to it!
