I know! its about time!
Greetings from Pittsburgh, PA!
I have a brief moment and have collected a few pictures to give you an idea of the scenery here!
I'm working at a place called the Union Project. This is the website: www.unionproject.org . Check it out and it will give you a better idea of what its about than what I can do : ) I live nextdoor to a coffeeshop that 7 of my friends own. Its a wonderful place to live and a city of opportunities. Its going through a rebirth phase reminiscent of Detroit that has begun to dispel a lot of the drug related violence that had been terrorizing these neigborhoods.
At another time, I'll tell you all about some things that I am looking to be a part of here. For now, here's a photo essay of my time here.
This is my roommate, Dani, and I our first week living in Pittsburgh. This is our street corner, right next to the coffee shop.
This is our newest addition to our home. Roger[s] after Mr. Rogers who is from Pittsburgh (and was an amazing man!). This was his first night in our apartment. He was really shy and hid under our couch for over an hour. But now he's hilarious and extremely playful. I normally wake up and he's curled up next to my neck. Sounds cute right? Until he decides that it would be more comfortable to lay on my face!
This is the view of downtown from Kris' window three stories up. He has a fire escape that we sit on and watch the fireworks when the Pittsburgh Pirates win a game. Its always more spectacular than any 4th of july show that I've ever seen.
A group of us went to an apple orchard a few weeks ago. Kris and I climbed the trees and sat on the top and looked at the landscape. It was a perfect day and the area was gorgeous.
I made my first ever apple pie! I promised Grandma that I'd let her know how it turned out and I figured what best way to show than to post a pictures. I gave it to my friend Israel for his birthday. Everyone loved it. I ended up not even getting my own piece. You'll also be proud to know (especially Grandma and Jordan) that we had a popcorn competition that evening and out of 5 contestants, I got first place!
More to come... soon.

yay morgan! i miss you!
Thanks for posting the pictures Morgie! The pie looks delicious! Was the pie as good as Grandma's?
Hey Morgy, I'm not sure that I want you to steal my thunder on apple pies. Nonetheless, I'm proud that you did it. Love G'ma
