Back in the swing of things

It has been great to be back in this city that inspires me. I have met so many wonderful new people in the last few weeks and the summer is not over yet!

My good friend William has returned to Sweden and there is a hole in Seattle. It was great to have him home and to bring some closure to our friend Shaun's death. I will greatly miss spending my summer days with him.

But in more exciting news I have been meeting new business owners and getting very excited about my next company. This month has included fun talks with the owners of my new favorite place, Redwood . They are as passionate about food, atmosphere and Northern Exposure as I am. I look forward to more trips up the hill for fun discussions. I have also been slowly checking out all the new stores that have opened since I left town. It seems that Seattle has had an exciting last six months.

Made it home

I am home and very happy!

These last few weeks have been a whirlwind of events. I packed up and left my life on the east coast. It was much needed. I made it to the Midwest where I went for a long weekend with people I care deeply for. It was great to see old friends, see the area where I went to college and just experience an important part of my life. I felt very loved and happy to be returning to old friends. They were just what I needed.

I then returned home to one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Aveo and Carissa's Wierd . The show was filled with old friends, emotional music and just happiness all around. The Aveo set list included a picture of myself and my best friend Shaun. Shaun passed away three years ago and we all felt his presence that night.

Then it was off to world cup fever, parties, dinners and many long walks around this beautiful city. So today I am tired and ready to return to normal life. There is other news to announce but I am so exhausted and it is still in it's early phase so I am not ready to ruin it yet But my heart is filled with love and I am very, very happy.
