After being in the DC area, we got to spend 4 days in Seattle with our closest friends there. Andrey was one of the speakers at the annual Seattle benefit dinner (fundraiser for the organization he works for) and he did a great job. Because of that we got 3 bonus days over the weekend to hang out with some of our favorite people. We flew into Seattle in the late morning last Thursday. Looking out the airplane window the air looked so clean and clear. The mountains were beautiful and I felt very nostalgic. I really miss living there.
As usual, our most excellent friends Matt & Colleen (and Baby Tru), Danny & Taj, and others made time to see us. Being there with these dear friends was so very relaxing for me. I felt like I was "at home" again. I'm not actually sure what that means anymore. All I know is that being in Seattle, for me is the closest feeling I get to being "at home." I guess it means that I feel the most relaxed, at ease, and truly able to just be myself, knowing I am loved and accepted- in addition to having such a good time and laughing a lot. What beautiful, dear friends we have!
Included in these fantastic friends are those who drove down from Canada just for the day to see us on Saturday. The Rehmans (with Baby Bennett) and the Voses (with Ayden & Matthew) made our day by coming to see us. I know I sound like I'm bragging but we just realize how blessed we are to know these people who for some reason chose to waste a day (driving for most of it) on us.
