Blue Skies

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. a blue sky! can you see it?!!!! lol Okay, this year has been WIERD for our weather. Last year when Rich moved to WA it was beautiful, sunny, 60-70 every day. When he came back for Liv and I and we got to WA it was beautiful, sunny 70-80 every day. Perfect temperatures, amazing breezes, just a dream of weather come true right? Now all last summer was great. They said it got up to 100 for a few days, but I can honestly say that it did not feel like it. Felt like a really nice 90 degrees. :-) So, when we moved here almost everyone was warning us how terrible the weather was going to be, how much rain, how cold.... And everytime Rich and I talk about it we both feel really pleasantly suprised about how unterrible the weather was this winter. It was usually around 35-40 degrees with only about a month and a half to two months where it actually froze a few times and got down below freezing at night quite a bit. We did have snow more than the 5 times a year which is average for here as we were told. Now that winter is over all the locals have mentioned how WET this year was. How much SNOW there was this year. That it's never this cold or this much rain. So, that was cool to hear since we didn't think it was really all that bad! lol yeah. But I do have to say that DANG it is overcast here in Aberdeen A LOT. Every day through the winter talking with rich while he was at work, olympia or north of there the weather was nicer there than Aberdeen. lol But the weather should be nicer than this starting about a month ago and I am starting to get tierd of the overcast. So, every time that sun is able to make a showing it's like the Halleluiah corus is blasting and I'm SOOOOO greatful that this is where I live. Nothing beats last summer here in WA or this summer too I hope. So like anywhere it's got it's good and it's bad. But Rich and I both strongly agree that we love living here for the weather. We don't miss Idaho with it's frozen tundra for months on end, it's short springs and falls and it's hot hot summers from hell. lol We breath easier here, we feel healthier here, our skin is better here, my cronic cough is gone. :-) We love living here better than in Idaho.
But WA doesn't have our family.
It doesn't have the people we know and love, the laughter, the strong bonds, the good shared memories, the good memories and experiences to be made. No BBQ'S, no camping, no fishing, no loud rowdy groups of laughter, teasing, and good old fashioned talking and time spent together. No history, no soul deep satisfaction and feeling of home with the people you love.
