My sister got the height AND the musical gene

(Continuing with my weekend in California...)

After brunch, it was time to head to my little hometown of Santa Cruz for the main event. My wildly talented and gorgeous younger sister was the lead (Sister Sarah Brown) in Guys and Dolls at her high school and opening night demanded my presence. I met up with my mom (looking all sorts of cute in a Spring dress) and we got our front row seats for the performance. 

I cannot tell you how amazing it was. I may be a bit biased because she is my sister, but it was  unbelievable. She nailed the role and her performance was top notch. 

When did this kid grow up?  She is tall, stylish, and far more mature than I was at 16. (She even had the nerve to ask when she was going to be an aunt. This girl is in high school, when she has the time to come and help me out, she may have some bargaining power with that question). I'm crossing my fingers she gets her butt out to Chicago this summer and comes and stays with us.  

I'm also planning on cashing in when she gets her driver's license. When I was in high school, I drove this little one around a lot, so it's about time to turn the tables. There is a window between ages 16-21 where your little sibling makes the ultimate designated driver. Next time I'm home and enjoying drinks with friends, guess who is driving me around?


Do you have siblings? Older or younger? 

Which characteristic do they have that you don't ?

Giveaway Winners & This AM's 5K results

First things first, I selected the winners of the Lucy Celebrate's giveaway and contacted both of them. 

Heather of UpstateRunner and Emily (do you have a blog Emily?) are going to be rocking some super chic iphone cases compliments of Lucy Celebrates. I cannot wait to see what they pick out!

If you didn't win, you can still snatch up some cuteness at 20% off with coupon code: POSH20 for the month of May. I highly recommend you go over and capitalize on this great discount.

Secondly...This morning's Move for the Kids 5K, official time: 24:33. Nowhere near a PR. I felt like I was running fast, but the clock was not agreeing with me.

My splits (keep in mind I didn't stop my Garmin at the finish line because I was concentrating on finding a patch of grass to sprawl out on and regroup).

Clearly, my first mile was not great. I was doing a lot of weaving around walkers, small children, and strollers. It was a family event, so I can't complain. It was incredible to see so many parents running with their children. I wish I did stuff like that when I was younger because I think it would of been a good lesson to be a part of something that was for a better cause than just myself (if my 6 year old mind could wrap my grasp that).

Full recap to come, but the race was great. 5K's still don't do it for me, but I was very excited to be a part of this event.
