Do you love where you live?

We do. We seriously love where we live. It is perfect of us right now. 4 years ago this summer we left Southern California for Eastern Washington and have never regretted it. Oh, it was difficult...really, really hard. We didn't know a soul and Superman didn't have a job. He bought a house for us without me seeing it first. Seriously challenging to plan that kind of thing. Yet, we knew it was time to leave, that So Cal wasn't our place any more. So, we leapt at the chance and haven't looked back. In the 4 years we've been here, it has become more and more clear that we were meant to be here. Superman found a perfect house for us and got a perfect job for him. Charming was able to go to college early because of the Running Start program here and has grown so much (boys can't bloom, right?).

Finally, this is the view out of our back deck:


And this is what we saw when we headed up the street to go swimming last week:


Not your typical So Cal neighbors!

So, do you love where you live? Why or why not?
