Falling in love all over again

Spokane... I really do love the city!

Jimmy and I left Washington about 6 years ago. In those 6 years, every visit to Washington has been during the winter months. I think during that time we forgot how much we love the Northwest and that winter is (or should be) only 3 months out of the year. Ice, freezing weather, snow, crazy driving, and a dirty city is what we have been conditioned to think our hometown of Spokane to be.

Last week was the first time we saw Spokane with sunshine and great weather in 6 years! We drove around our old neighborhoods, checked out our schools, and visited old hangout spots. Mostly we just reminisced about what it was like to grow up in Spokane... there are so many good memories!

Jimmy went to Cooper Elementary School


Riverside State Park














We were just driving around town and had to pull over and enjoy the view because it was so beautiful!

Lehman-Smith Wedding fun!

Last week, Jimmy and I traveled to Spokane, Washington for his sister's wedding. It was held at Mirabeau Park in the Spokane Valley. The weather was great and the ceremony was held on a dock near a waterfall, so it was very beautiful.

Congratulations to Julie and Kevin!

The Lehman's are getting their toes ready for the big day!
