SPOKANE!!

Back in Spokane safe and sound last night! The car was FULL, the roads were dry and bare and driving felt really long. SO glad to be home. Took a while to get everything put back away (still have a few more piles for tomorrow - bed time now) .... I can't believe we had so much stuff in Seattle. Mark is feeling pretty good. Tired, but good. Boys are glad to be back I can tell. Much more room and everything familiar.


Some things I've noticed:

It is quiet here. Almost posted a request on Facebook last night at 1:00am for someone to come drive back and forth in front of my house so I could get to sleep. Apparently I got used to the Seattle I-5 traffic noise.

Drive-thru Coffee is really really great!

Driving though a city and knowing exactly where you are all the time, is a great feeling.

Our house is big. We are blessed. It is almost too big!

If you don't go up/down any stairs for 4+ months your legs get really tired, quickly when you do go up and down them many, many times to put stuff away!

My fridge, dishwasher, sink and bathroom are BIG! I got so used to the small spaces over there....

I actually had to call out to my kids "boys, where are you?" today in the house...

The boys can jump, stomp, crash, run and yell all they want and I don't have to say "shhhhh, we have neighbors" all the time. It is SO great to let them be boys!

Snow on the forest trees is a good view! - Others might prefer the city skyline, water and bridges.... I really like the way it looks right here at home!


I am so happy to be home, that this stage of the adventure is done and that my husband is home and doing good. To God be the glory! We are happy in Spokane tonight!
