Seattle, city of my birth

Funny how the mention of something can bring such a mix of feelings. Seattle has always been a mix for me. Until now. I'm adopted. Most of you know this. Did you know I was born in Seattle? Yep, that right. New Sweeden Hospital. Seattle, Wa. It is a wonderful thing for me. Being adopted that is. I feel quite fortunate to have a wonderful family and a great set of parents not to mention how greatful I am for the way I have been raised with the knowledge of the gospel in my life and a strong testimony of who I am, why I'm here and what happens to me when I depart this fine existance. I have wondered a time or two of the different world I may have wandered if I had indeed been kept and raised in this city. Never having visited only gives to the imagination. I only tell you this because as odd as it may be, going to Seattle was in a sense like home for me.

The entire reason for going on this trip so soon after returning from the last is simply..I love my niece Shalisa. She graduated with honors from Spanaway Lakes high school. I was fortunate enough to be there. Although they live in the burbs we spent a bit of time seeing the fabulous city of Seattle. Here are a few pics from the trip.

And the reason for going.. This is my brothers family, Love you guys! Thanks for a great time! Seattle really is a beautiful city! Congratulations Shalisa. I'm looking forward to you being closer to me this fall.
