Discovering Seattle
On the eve of my next adventure, I thought it was time I finally put into writing what my recent trip to Seattle meant to me. Thirty is a BIG birthday. It’s a milestone.

I watched intently as my boyfriend raised the pick-ax above his head and slammed it back down on my bulky couch. When I battled that same narrow doorway I knew two and half years earlier when I battled that same narrow doorway to move the couch in that this would be the couch’s inevitable demise.
