In June, we began toying with the idea of moving to Seattle.
July brought travel to Seattle on another road trip. We took meetings and thought about a possible move. Our friends Josh & Andrea got married July 3rd and I sang at the wedding. My mom also had a wonderful retirement party before we took off for CA. We loved the road trip and saw lots of the west coast.
As soon as I returned to Los Angeles, I hopped a flight and went back to Seattle. My mom drove me 5 hours east to Lake C'oeur D'Alene to be a camp counselor for high school kids! It was a much needed trip for me and I made lots of amazing connections.
Nelson's parents came out for a visit at the end of August. We swam, ate good food and hung out as a family. August 24th, Nelson and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary! To celebrate, we went camping in Yosemite National Park for 2 nights. Our dear friends daughter was also born this day, so it made it even more special for us.
September, my parents came to town on a road trip. We celebrated Scott's 30th birthday with a well planned and executed surprise lunch. We went to a Jay Leno taping, went swimming and spent three days at Disneyland. In addition, our niece Chessa was born September 16th on my brother's birthday, so we welcomed another Kaiton kid into the family! We were so pleased to meet this little one.
At the end of the month, I was invited to be a guest at a healing retreat in Ojai, CA. The retreat was specific to those who are dealing with loss and grief. It was an amazing week for me and I was able to do some incredible healing and learn some new things like Kundalini Yoga!
Nelson was up for a job here in L.A., but the company downsized. So we made the final decision that it was time for us to move! Today is the 20th of October and we are half way packed and ready to leave the 30th. We are thrilled for a new adventure and a fresh start.
