taylah

Yes, that's correct...that's the name Taylor pronounced Taylah. This post is dedicated to my best (and only) bud in PA, Taylor (duh). I met Tay at my job, she was the old HR assistant and was able to train me for 2 weeks. We instantly connected and have been pals ever since! She's the same age as me but a little different, she's lived in western PA her whole life and is half Italian (yes, her father was born in Italy and immigrated here with his family when he was a young boy) and half Polish. Its quite fun to share stories about our different cultures...I teach her all about Southern culture (she is appalled that I wear overalls and laughs almost everytime I say ya'll) and she tells me crazy tales of her very Italian grandmother (which I soak up and semi-wish I had one of my own). She loves food (duh, to be any friend of mine this is a must!) and loves to laugh...perfect match, right?! Well tonight she came over and we made dinner (bruschetta is a must at all of our get togethers), played with Dixie and took her for a walk (more like she dragged Taylah up the street), got ice cream at Bruster's (apparently a popular ice cream place around here) and just sat and talked. I love just sitting and talking with another woman...that's definitely something that I miss from good ol' NC. Taylah is just a wonderful, sweet, uplifting person and I'm very thankful that our paths crossed and now we're good friends!
