steel city

So I know everyone is sick of hearing me go on and on about California… People are like “You left, move on with your life, get over it!” (actually no one has said that to me, but I feel like someone should)


There has been a lot of good that has come out of being home so far. So I am going to take this time to be thankful…

I am thankful….

That I have been able to drive down country roads that take me home to West Virginia for Sunday dinner. I could go without the calories but I can never get enough of things my dad says (I would never say “sh!t my dad says” because after they came out with that God awful show I don’t want to compare my dad to William Shatner, plus they look nothing alike and I am sure William doesn’t play the bagpipes in a kilt)

That I have been able to save money in rent but NOT in car insurance (I would go on and on about how much more expensive car insurance is out here rather than in CA but this post is supposed to be about positive things not negative, so I will save that for the next time I am shitting on living in PA:) ) (and NO this is pre 2 accidents in one week, I can’t wait to see what post 2 accidents in one week car insurance is like)

That I have been able to spend more time with my younger siblings. Yeah I may be a decade plus older than them (ooooh shit, I said it… Im old), but they remind me of my youth and remind me of how freaking grateful I am to NOT be a teenager anymore, oh the drama…

That Jamie and I have been able to upgrade from 700 sq ft to 1400 sq ft, which allows me more room to buy and store more unnecessary things.

For the football season that is about to happen… GO STEELERS!

That I have been able to spend more time with my dearest friend Ali, it has been a blessing being able to see her more in the past 5 months than in the last 5 years… I love you Miss Ali : ) Let the good times roll…


I am thankful for our friends here in this great city and I am thankful that all of our families are closer and I am so very thankful that my fiancé and I are able to grow in our relationship and are able to share this special time in our life here, at home <3


So for all of that Pittsburgh, I thank you :)



*I have to add:

Thank you Mama Koay for always having the most entertaining and hilarious stories to tell about work ( what I would do to follow you around for one full day at Fairmont General :))

Thank you Mom for sharing all of your wisdom and knowledge (how on earth you know so much about the most random things is beyond me (and kinda scary), but thank you for sharing)

and

Thank you Batman, for filming your movie here. That’s kinda cool…
