I remember when Cody was applying to dental schools and we first got the interview request letter from the University of Pittsburgh, I thought it was such a random place. I didn't even know that Cody had applied there. When it came down to making a decision on which school we would attend, Cody and I made a little list of the pros and cons of the schools and cities and without much hesitation or uncertainty, we accepted Pittsburgh's offer. What a blessed decision.
I don't know if you couldn't tell, but I LOVE Pittsburgh. It is old, crowded, and the road system was apparently designed by a blind man, but it is all so wonderful (okay, the road system is not wonderful). And though the city, by itself, is pretty cool, I know I wouldn't feel the way I do about Pittsburgh if it wasn't for the wonderful people I met there, and the amazing friends I made. It really was such a wonderful experience and time in our life. I have often thought back to that initial decision of Cody's and mine, how we could have chosen a different school, a different city, met different people, had different friends, and while I am sure that we probably would have had a good experience somewhere different, I am just so happy we were blessed enough to find ourselves in Pittsburgh.
Last month, I had a chance to get together with several of these Pittsburgh girls in Las Vegas. We have all gone our separate ways, and some of us haven't seen each other since last years girls trip, but as soon as we saw each other, we instantly fell back into that fun, comfortable friendship that we enjoyed in PA. We talked non-stop for four days, laughing, crying, sometimes laughing and crying at the same time, eating, getting spooked by Amy's mere mention of ghost stories, and then talking some more. I really had such a fun time.

These are lovely girls, inside and out.
As for the agenda, we really didn't do anything very 'Las Vegasy'. We went to one Comedy show and we drove by the Bellagio fountains while I imagined Clare de Lune in my head. We ate yummy food and just enjoyed good, good company.
It's been over a month ago and I am still smiling about it. I am just counting down the days until I get to see them again.

A good girls trip is always so much fun! I love that you all are keeping up your friendship even though you're separated by so many miles.
I love your sentimentality towards Pittsburgh. It helps me appreciate it more. You girls are the best!! We have to keep this going... it's one of the highest points in my year. So much fun!
The word "jealous" doesn't even cover it.
