One of the pitfalls of living in Pitt (pun intended) is the utter lack of familiarity. Being the adventurous soul that I am, I chose to attend a school where I knew no one. Indeed, I had no family or friends in the area when I moved here (that is before I made new ones in my home away from home!). Tonight I was blessed to see some dear family friends for dinner. There is something irreplaceable and invaluable about being with the ones who have seen you grow up. In my case, the one who believed in my voice and even the one who baptized me!
We had a delicious dinner. I ordered a warm goat cheese and beet salad topped with wild caught atlantic char... amazing, to say the least. However, the best item I got tonight wasn't on the menu.... I was given a slice of home. Sometimes, the most beautiful moments in life are indeed in uncharted territory- new experiences, new places- but with long time loved ones. Ones who share a familiar smile, loving embrace, and truly caring thoughts and advice. I am a lucky girl.
