Ten Things I Love about the Pacific Northwest

Fifty. That is the number of days we have been in Washington State. Instead of writing a blog post about 50 things, how about I stick to just 10?

1. I love living in an area where the people are from everywhere, have wildly different opinions about things, but still say “thanks” and “nice to meet you.” It feels like what America should be everywhere you go.

2. I love that everything is so green. It makes you appreciate life despite, or possibly because of, all the rain.

3. I love that we can spend time together as a family and that my husband is not deployed (at least for now).

4. I absolutely love that I can walk a trail from my house to the beach.

5. I love how happy this dog gets when we walk together.

6. I love having a walk-in closet.

7. I love that my boys know how to make the most of a rainy climate.

9. I love that every once in a while “the mountain is out.”

    I’m visiting today from Top Ten Tuesday. We live in the midwest right now, but my husband is actively looking for jobs back in WA or OR. He and I are both from thee West Coast, and our families are still out there. Oh, and while he was active duty Army he was stationed at Ft. Lewis and loved it! Your post made me sigh a big sigh (a good one!) Nice to “meet” you.

    Pacific NW is one area of the country I have never visited. But, you sure make me want to come on over.
