Visiting Seattle

Visiting my brother, sister-in-law, and my nephew in Seattle was another highlight of my first few weeks back! Nathan, Melissa and Samuel just moved to Seattle from Chicago this summer and I was bummed because I love Chicago! Seattle was great! We went blueberry picking (although the blueberries were few and far between), we went to the park, to church, to the pike place market, to Starbucks, and many other places. As you can see from the pic below, my nephew is the cutest thing ever!


This picture was taken while we were blueberry picking. It was a great time to be together as a family!




My friend Dana grew up in Seattle but now lives in Canada but she came to Seattle to see me while I was there! We went to the park with the kids and had such a great time together! Her son's name is Clay and he is two, same as Samuel. They did not play together but they were in the same sand box! It was so much fun to be with Dana too!!


Things I love about Nathan:
*He is a great husband, dad, and brother
*He is so smart and I love to brag about him
*He takes care of his family
*He is a good example to those around him

Things I love about Melissa:
*She is an amazing wife, sister, and mom
*While she and I are different in many ways, she loves me and we are really good friends
*She is real and she trusts in the Lord
*She is an AMAZING cook

I love you two so much and I am excited to spend time together again when we get the chance!!
