From June 26 to July 15 we finally got to make a trip back to Seattle! It had been 9 long months since we'd last been to the States. And let me tell you, it was so wonderful. It was tough for Andy to get me back on the airplane to Switzerland, but alas, here we are. Seattle never ceases to amaze me, it is one of the most beautiful places on earth to me!
The occasion that brought us home was Evan & Petra's wedding - two very dear friends to us both so we couldn't have been happier to make the journey to be there. The wedding happened July 12 on Orcas Island and it gave us the chance to spend a full, sunny weekend in such a gorgeous place with great friends. The ceremony was extremely touching, one of those weddings where you just know you are witnessing a truly blessed union :)
We also had a wonderful time...visiting family in Walla Walla, attending Andy's 10 yr. class reunion, hanging out with our Seattle crew, celebrating birthdays (Wyatt, Michelle and Bill), watching fireworks for the 4th, relaxing and hiking with my parents in Anacortes and finally back to Seattle for one last night with Bill, Lea, Larry and Leslie before catching our flight back.
These trips always fly by far too fast and only serve to remind us how much we do miss our true home.
We are currently planning a little Italian camping trip with our friend Josh for a couple of weekends from now to get into the full swing of summer here!
See everyone again in September! Can't wait.

Does anyone ever wonder why I am holding the boquet? I never noticed that before.
