We are two weeks in to being back in Seattle, and all around, we all feel like we never left. Our neighbors are still the same (with one baby addition), our house is still standing (if a bit less put together than when we left it {annoyed}) and we are loving the life we left. It has been a very busy two weeks:

• Purchased kayaks and took them for their first test run {LOVE}
• Finalized all the house renovations {and had to add new paint to the entire inside of the house, thanks to the last two years}, and demo is underway
• Spent a lot of time driving to the library and checking out hordes of book for the Chick and myself {LOVE x a billion}
• Rushed to the animal hospital at 11 pm (all’s well)
• Bought a new car (hopefully picking it up this weekend)
• and made more trips to Target than I actually expected to (nothings changed)

Even though we’ve been gone two years it really feels like no time has passed. I still remember how to get places (mostly), and I still get annoyed at the traffic, but it just feels So Dang Good to be back here. I think we have all finally found a place that definitely feels like home, and is home. For how often we have moved in the past, if 5 years down the road we were asked to move, I believe it would really be a tough sell {unless the destination was Tahiti…just saying}.

Yep, we love where we live, and I can’t see that changing anytime soon.

still waiting for our 4th paddle to arrive, until then the girl gets to let dad do all the work!
