WELCOME HOME

Oooohhhh...Em...Goodness! I am back home in Seattle with my family for the first time in THREE years! After a long, stressful airport experience, plane ride and bartender not knowing how to fix the drinks on the menu, I finally touched down in beautiful "Emerald City!" It is simply beautiful here. The air seems fresher, the people seem more cultured, it's just an amazing place to be! I love it. So far, I've just been kickin it with some of my high school friends, the true ones who made it through the years...the ones that I love! Seattle is such a small BIG city that I ran into quite a few people on my first day trip downtown. It was crazy and seemed so surreal to see us all grown out making money, in school, being positive women! Anywhoo, hopefully by the end of my trip, I'll be 20 pounds heavier! Been eating at the greatest restaurants, eating my mom's and grandma's wonderful cooking! Had a Christmas Eve gala with family, friends, food and draaaaanks! My family is a hot mess so of course we had too much fun. It's been crazy to see everybody especially my younger sisters ages 14 and 12 who are taller and almost taller than I am! Lol it's a sad shame, no authority! I visited my great grandmother, who makes the best banana pudding by the way, and just sat and listened to her talk. I love to hear older women speak. She's so wise, plus it's always great hearing true stories about growing up and how life was before I was even thought of and it makes me so thankful for the people who "took one for the team" so that I can be where I am today! Oh, and my grandmother is too cool...with her Blue Drink (Hypnotic) ! She keeps it on deck. She's a G! And I love her for that! Wonder where I get it from? Plus she has a major shopping/ fashion addiction. They say the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree, but frankly, I don't even think it's fallen if ya ask me! Side note: Can't wait til New Year's Eve so I can kicks it for real! L-R My twin + unborn baby (lol), Kiki, Me, & Kenz Oh! And here's an old video that I meant to post BEFORE I made it to Seattle!
