Parmigiano-Reggiano and Gorgonzola (aka Michele and Anna)

Michele (Parma-Reg) and Anna (Gorgonzola) came into my life during the same time period. We, along with Dana (Asiago) and Tracy (Havarti), are sorority sisters.

Anna and I pledged the sorority at the same time, were fast friends and ultimately became roommates for one year during college.  Anna was an Interior Design major and I remember being so "jealous" watching her do her homework.  While our other roommate, Tracy (Havarti), and I stayed up all night studying physiology, Anna was up all night building and decorating model homes out of foam board and felt material.  She moved to the Pacific Northwest after college and now works at an architectural firm there (please correct me if I am wrong, Anna!).  I don't think I have seen Anna since we graduated from college....I am SO excited you are on this trip and I CANNOT wait to catch up and hear about the last 17 YEARS!!!!


Michele was (I guess still could be considered) my sorority "Big Sister".  She did her job as "Big Sister" well, during our college days, by keeping me grounded.  She always lived (and probably still lives) her life very true to herself.  She didn't worry about the small stuff, and brought me perspective when I most needed it.  When things got tough, all I had to do was spend some time with Michele.  She wears her positive attitude on her sleeve and you can't help but absorb some of it when you are around her.  As with Anna, it has been way too long since I have spent time with Michele.  She and her husband Joe were at my wedding, and I don't know if I have seen her since....and that has been 13.5 years!  Parma-Reg, I can't wait to absorb some of your sunshine.  See you in AZ!
