The Seattle area has been our home for the last thirteen years. In 1997, while stationed in Spokane, WA my husband took an early retirement from the Air Force. He was offered a job in Seattle, and thus the move.We enjoy the cool summers, temperate winters, rain, and yes, the coffee!
This year we celebrated our 22nd Anniversary. As a surprise, my husband took us sailing. We were on a 75 foot sailboat that sails out of Elliot Bay. No, it is not ours (I wish). It is a charter that does two hour tours of the harbor.We had such a wonderful and relaxing time! Although I had a choice to leave the girls at home, I really wanted to do this as a family.
With kids that are now teens, I know that we will not have many more years with them at home. They are already planning on colleges to go to.Ela, our eldest, wants to go where the sun is, and California seems to be calling her. Her thoughts are on becoming a physical therapist, and Azusa Pacific is one college that fits.
Hannah, on also hears the call of warmth and sun. She loves volleyball, and wants to attend a college where she will be able to participate in that, as well. One of her goals is to choose a college which is close to Disneyland.Her career thoughts are running toward nursing or being a forensics scientist. Being the teen that she is, though, a professional volleyball player is also high on her list.
I loved our time sailing, and savoring the memories that we made together as a family.
