Home

Last week, I went to lunch with a friend and he asked me a question. If you hadn't been home in 20 years, where would you go or what would you show your kids? Here's a few that I came up with...

CHAMBERS BAY

I can't believe I get to call such a beautiful place home. It's so fun to go on family walks, play ultimate frisbee in the fields, enjoy the sun, play in the water, take pictures, take kids to the playground. Even though it's a golf course, there's so much more to do! It's so picturesque and I love that it's so close. We are so blessed!

GRANDMA BLACKNER'S HOUSE

Sunday nights just aren't the same if you don't go to grandma's. When we were little, it was always an excuse to watch Disney Channel. Once we got older, we couldn't get enough talking, laughing, and games in. We always have so much fun and it's a great start to the week to be with family and spend time together. We are so lucky to live so close to all our family and I love that I know all my cousins and get to be with them on a regular basis. It can get pretty crazy around that house, but it's always a blast! Sports, sleepovers, movies, holidays, games, talking, this place is always hoppin'!

CURTIS HIGH SCHOOL

The three places I spent majority of my time: the gym, the pool, and the auditorium, all got remodeled while I was in high school. It made for lots of adventures full of traveling to different pools, playing basketball at the jr. high, and having concerts in the cafeteria, but it was all worth it and I got to enjoy the new facilities as well. I made so many memories in high school and had so many great opportunities. I got to explore what I wanted to do with my life and made lasting friendships as well as gained experience that prepared me for college. I had amazing teachers and loved mostly every minute of class haha! Bust 'em Vikings Bust 'em!

SEATTLE

love this place. Pike's Place Market, Safeco Field, Benaroya Hall, Paramount Theater, the gingerbread houses at the Sheraton, the troll under the bridge, the Space Needle, shopping, the Woodland Park Zoo, the Seattle Aquarium. So much fun! There's something about big cities that are just so exciting! I'm glad I live just a short 45 min. away from the Emerald City.

Where do you call home? and what fun memories and places will you always remember? There truly is no place like home and I'm definitely glad that it has not been 20 years, but only 4 months since I've been there. 3 weeks and I'll be back :)
