Katie Jean, Fiona and I have been living in the Seattle area for over 3 months now. We have been exploring the beautiful parks, beaches and forests in the area almost every weekend. As we go on each adventure, I realize how much Dad would have loved visiting us out here. The old growth forests are amazing, the mountain lakes pristine and the beaches a joy to walk barefoot. These are the kind of places my Dad lived for when we where kids. And here you can enjoy them year round, as long as you don't mind a little rain, and who every heard of an Irishman that was bothered by the rain?
Rebecca just moved to the area last week and went hiking with us this weekend. With all four of us marching up the mountain trail, it felt just like old times. We all miss Dad a lot, but we can still see him in eachother as we continue the family activities that he taught us to love. I have missed being a part of Rebecca's life and I'm excited that she will soon be living only a few hours away.
I am just as excited that my mother is considering moving out here as well. I never imagined when God brought us out here this summer, that it would bring my family closer together, not further apart. Sarah has considered relocation to the Portland area and Rachel could move anywhere when she gets back from Argentina. I am always amazed at what happens when you put your complete trust in God.
