Christmas in Seattle

When I first met Louis, I remember him frequently talking about Seattle. He constantly mentioned his supposed move across the country, and I'd tell him, "If you plan on moving, we might as well break up now...being that we've been dating a whole 2 months and all." The "might as well break up now" was a joke for a long time after that because I'd bring it up whenever something seemed non-negotiable. Anyway, at that time I hadn't ever been to Seattle. About a year and a half or so later I got to accompany him on a vacation to sweet Charsaroo's and she, along with the city, became two of my favorite things ever. I finally understood Louis's fascination. When I talk to people about my love for Seattle, they typically bring up the fact that it rains alot. It actually has about the same amount of rainfall as Florida and New York, but I get it, it's overcast a lot of the time. Despite the cloudy weather, I find it to be one of the most beautiful places I've visited. I love the streets, buildings, mountains, views you get as you drive over the bridges, and all of the character that it has to offer. I absolutely love living in New York, but I still sometimes imagine Louis and I having a life in this wonderful place. 

We've been having an amazing Christmas trip so far. The company is always great and usually after five minutes of being here my cheeks are sore from laughing. I love bopping around this town and jerkin around the house with my Mother-In-Law and I'm so grateful that I've gotten to experience Christmas in the Pacific Northwest for the past five or six years.
