Adam and I were so thrilled to have the lovely Miss Katie Hutcheson stay with us on tuesday night! Katie works for the Red Cross in Knoxville, TN and ended up in San Bernardino working with all the fire relief over there. Katie comment about San Bernardino... "I didn't know that there were actual red-necks in California!" (Here is Katie trying a "shot" of Rice milk and Almond milk because she was curious about the difference.)
For those of you who have no clue who this girl is and why I'm devoting a blog to her, let me explain. Katie was one of the 5/4 (depending on what semester it was) girls I lived with in St. Petersburg, Russia. She was our "team leader" because she had taught in Kazakhstan the year before. She is a very sweet girl who loves people so much and I was so pleased to have been able to spend a year with her and Claire and Amanda (and Alison, for the first half of the year). Just for old time sake, here's a picture of us girls at the Summer Palace just outside the city of St. Petersburg.

One of our favorite/most ridiculous things about St. Petersburg was the strange custom couples had of making out on their way down into the Metro (Subway). St. Petersburg is a city built on rivers and canals thus the Metro must be far enough underground to avoid said waterways. All that being said, you really, truly have a good 4 to 5 minute ride down to the platform and what else do you have to do?
That being said, we kind of just started saying that "the Metro is for lovers" and always joked about make shirts that said as much. Well, Katie's boyfriend Brian actually made them and Katie brought me mine when she came to stay with us on tuesday! Needless to say, I was very excited to see our dream become a reality! (even if the "Russian" is not correct!)
