Slight Seattle-Sickness...

Who doesn't feel like the 

only thing they want to do is 

hop on a plane and 

fly straight into this picture...

I have been pretty happy down in Los Angeles the past year and a half, but when I see things like this, my heart drops to my stomach and all I want to do is be back in Seattle. 

I want to: 

Take the Ferry from The Pier to Bainbridge Island 

Drink coffee at Vivace across the street from REI 

Eat a kids bean-and-cheese burrito at Tacos Guaymas in Fremont

I want to:

Have Friday morning prayer time at 810 W. Argand St.

Be woken up at 6:30 am with pots and pans then whisked away to The Crumpet Shop by my best friends

Dance the night away at Janky Classy

I want to:

Run around Greenlake, then straight off the dock into Greenlake in the summer

 Run to Gasworks Park in time to catch the sunset

Drive straight down Interstate 5, from Seattle to Salem

All these experiences would not have been possible without the help of these lovely ladies...

I wouldn't trade the life I have down here for anything... but sometimes I wish Down-here and Up-there could be the same place..

Is it April 20th already...?
