I finally heard from the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh last week. I'm on the waiting list for two complexes in the city. I'll take either one, because I want this so bad I can taste it. This is what will happen - especially if the apartment comes up when there's no snow on the ground. I'm going to walk virtually everywhere and take pictures. I was down there a couple of years ago, but my mom and I only spent a few hours. There was so much we didn't do. And I'm going to do it all. I'm going to Primantis for a sandwich. I'm going to Eat n Park again, to get a chocolate milkshake so thick you almost have to eat it with a spoon. Throw some grilled stickies a la mode on my plate also. I'm going to go to PNC Park and see the Roberto Clemente statue and the Willie Stargell gate. I'll go see Consol Energy Center and see the Mario Lemieux statue. I'll go up the inclines and go to the Point. Go to the zoo, go to the aquarium, if there is one. I've never been to an aquarium. All in the first week. If I get into the building I hope to get into - although I will take the other one - on Pressley Street, I'll be able to walk to Giant Eagle, a three-minute walk, and Allegheny Center Alliance Church, an eight-minute walk. I want to walk across the Roberto Clemente bridge and take the Gateway Clipper.
I will be able to fulfill my ministry calling in Pittsburgh as well. The Allegheny Center Alliance Church has an urban ministry outreach that I will be able to get involved in. I'll be looking for an office job that I can do. For now, I have SSI, and will have that when I get to Pittsburgh, but I want to get off it. I need a job that I can do, a clerical job. I'm just really excited now that I have a plan. I have an image in my head, I can see it. And the food, I can taste it. And I can't wait. <3
