Meeting Pioneer Woman...Ree Drummond!

It's been an eventful Monday. This weekend while Husband and I were in Sewickley, we stepped into the bookstore that was set to have Ree Drummond, or Pioneer Woman, to come to do a book signing. I knew she was supposed to come do a signing on her tour, but I had no idea when or where. It was unfortunate though, because it was in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, and at 4:00PM {which is during my working hours}. Husband talked me into giving it a shot, and going after work in the hopes that she's still be there. She was!

And, she brought her adorable family with her! 

I arrived at 5:30PM, and got in the LONG line. {Pittsburgh showed up for PW!} I was #246. Husband drove in from Warrendale, and joined me about 10 minutes later. As we waited, we saw the three kids skip out to get Mom a coffee at Starbucks across the street. What good kids. ;)

As we made out way to the front door, Ladd's hat came into view. 

I'm so happy to see someone I know...from TV! 

He was greeting folks and signing "his page" in the cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier {p. 152}. It was a relief to see a family member!

 We then entered back into the line:

Then, climbed up the stairs to the kid's section...

And, there she was!

I gabbed about us moving from Texoma Land to PGH, and she asked how we were liking it. I said I didn't miss the 100+ degree weather, and she said she might come join us! Such a lovely person. 

I brought out the sorority pose for this one. You only have one shot!

 {Thanks for staying HOURS after you were due at Primanti Bros., Ree! You're a trooper!}

 Hands down, best book signing! {I hope she remembers me?}
