i can't wrap my head around the fact that we've called this place home for a year.
a year!
things i love about pittsburgh: (in no particular order)
1. my friends. i really can't stand the thought of me not having them so close for the rest of my life.
2. it's beautiful here. the trees, green-ness (i like to make up my own words), bridges, old buildings, grey skies, sky-scrapers, stadiums. it's all so, so lovely. just kidding about the grey skies part.
3. my new-found hobbies. i had to get kind of creative once i moved here (i know, heaven forbid). i have found new things that i enjoy doing that i don't think i otherwise would have even attempted.
4. my calling. why does nursery have such a bad rep? i love it. those kids make me smile.
5. cinemas in the park. each week, local participating parks play a family-friendly movie outside for free.

6. the restaurants. i think we could go out to different places every day for the next three years and still be discovering new, fun places to eat.
7. the wildlife. we see squirrels, chipmunks, deer, & groundhogs all over in our yard and i love it. two days in a row, i saw the same deer 'family' - a mom and her two babies. so darling!

10. the thunderstorms. they are second to none.
11. the library system.
12. oh and we can't forget about our Steelers. i have never seen a place so obsessed with their sports team(s). this house is even painted with Steeler pride.

steeler pride...that is hilarious.
pittsburgh sounds so great!
i wouldn't even mind the gray skies either! i bet it's phenomenal in the fall!
has it already been a year? nuts.
It's going to keep flying :) I'm glad that you love the 'burgh. Meeeeee too. Soak it up. You'll be 3rd years before you know it!
I love your list. I am with you in that friends is #1. I hate thinking about everyone separating one day. Love the house (from Black Street?) that you included at the end.
Glad you love it but we want you back.
I know, I can't believe it's been a year. I was just thinking about that the other day. I'm so glad you love it there, but I agree with Caitlin, we want you guys back here!
I am so glad you are here and are such an amazing nursery leader and I love you!
McCall I was the Nursery leader in our ward in Kansas for 9 months. At first I was so nervous about it and very overwhelmed. But, I started to love it and the kids just melt your heart. I'm glad you are enjoying it there!
I WISH I was the nursery leader! You have no idea how much I envy nursery leaders. It's the perfect calling: minimum prep-work, and you don't have to interact with the other adults. Sounds wonderful!
Tally loves you guys as the nursery leaders! It's funny, I am in Utah right now and I was just talking to Matthew about how the sky is so much bluer here.
Its funny how there are always things to fall in love with, anywhere we go. Given the correct dosage or time & experience all things to indeed get better.
RIGHT?!? Hopefully.
I knew you could be happy wherever you end up, you are just happy people. And hurray for moving new places and loving it, you are part of what made Utah great for me.
Morgan is in K-town. Nothing beats that. Just kidding. I actually love Pittsburgh and need to get back there. I love it there in the fall.
I can't believe you've been there a year either! One more year and we'll be a few hours apart! Yay! Can't wait.
It was so good for me to read this post!! I need to have an attitude adjustment about Pittsburgh. You're right. It has lots of wonderful things about it. I've just been focusing on the negative.
You guys still going to Erie tomorrow? We're having second thoughts....if you don't and we don't we should do something together.
And you thought you wouldn't like it....lol. Miss you!
