Back in Seattle!!!

As some of you know, I have moved back to Seattle!! Deciding to leave California was an extremely difficult decision and in no way an easy decision. Out of respect for John, and his family and/or friends that may continue to look at this blog, this will be the first and last time I will mention leaving California. John and I parted ways on great terms, and he is an amazing person, and I wish him my love and best of luck with his adventures in California.

So, why the photos of Seattle? The photos below were taken shortly after I got my first digital camera. I think it was 2002ish. It was a little Canon Powershot point and shoot type camera. It was a mere 3 megapixels. But it served me well. My parents got it for me for Christmas while I was still in graduate school. I used to take study breaks and go on outtings with my camera, taking pictures of different things around Seattle. I took pictures all over town, so much fun. I took pictures in Ballard, Golden Gardens, Pike Place, various locations downtown, pictures of old cars, cool signs, buttons in elevators, gridlines on escalators in the bus tunnel, skyscrapers, sunsets, pretty much anything I saw that I thought was cool. Those first camera breaks took place almost 7 years ago. I have lived in Seattle almost 10 years now, but it wasn't until I actually went out exploring with my dinky little camera that I fell in love with this city. Needless to say, when I moved to California, my heart broke for Seattle. My family, friends, and all things Pacific Northwest. I was a mess. So this is my love letter to Seattle, I've missed you, and I'm happy to be home.

Considering my return to Seattle, this girl's adventures in California have come to a close. With that in mind, I need a new blog title! Anyone have any ideas? I'm open to suggestions. Please feel free to leave a comment with any ideas you might have!!
