From Boston to Seattle

How can someone that has absolutely no ties to Boston regularly dream of it? I thought I was going to be a veterinarian up until 5 years ago. Tufts University was my goal, with the emphasis of wildlife medicine. Teenage me could taste the day I actually earned my way there.
I grew up in southern Arizona, and quickly grew tired of it. The bright sun, the heat. It's just so *sunny.* I know that doesn't sound dramatic at all, but it bothers me.
Appreciating the desert didn't come until I was in high school. There's actually a lot to love that I hadn't known before.
The bonfire scene I was introduced to, honestly, probably changed my life. I wouldn't have met my husband otherwise <3 Desert nights are nice and cold, and I think that's what I got addicted to. Booze flavored kisses, and oversized hoodies. I found myself daydreaming about the colder weather months, and where I saw myself when I was 30. It was Boston.

So, fast forward to today. I still have this fantasy about Boston even though I'm in a very different chapter of my life. Never made to Boston by the way! Shocker, right. Somehow I'm in Washington State. LOVING IT, but I mean, life is weird. When Renee reached out to me, 16 year old me about passed out. I'm not cultured you guys, it's a big deal! We skyped and chatted for about a year, when it finally came to life this summer.

Renee + Derek flew in from Massachusetts to elope. It get it. The pacific northwest, she's gorgeous. It's just ironic that while I was dreaming of Boston, they were dreaming of Seattle. I appreciate what I get to do more than anyone will know, I honestly think so. The wedding industry has opened up new world to me. One day I'll make it to Boston.

Some snow would be nice.

Congratulations Renee and Derek! I hope you had blast in Seattle.
