Northwest Tour Part 3: Spokane

Jared, me and my cousin Mitch


We were so busy in Spokane seeing everybody that we kindof forgot to take pictures...but here were the highlights of "home."
-Jared meeting up with many of his mentors: Dr. Grummons, Dr. Longmeier, Aaron McMurray, Kent McDonald
-Me getting to spend lots of time with my mom shopping, drinking coffee, in the kitchen and just chatting away
-A great lunch with Jared's dad and Debbie
-Spending an evening hanging out with my friend Ashlee over Didier's and taking a nice evening walk together
-A Pike Mafia BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa's house and putting together a mini softball game with all the little cousins
-Dinner at Latch Bistro with Dr. Grummons, Trudy, Bill and Lacey
-Jared touring all his favorite spots in Spokane: Rocket Bakery with his friend Jed, Gonzaga campus, the Book Parlor on Broadway, several dental offices collecting teeth for school
-Spending time with my parents in the evening talking, laughing and playing Yahtzee
-Getting to see Krystn and Orland again, the Story family, our grandparents and my cousin Mitch
-Just being..."home"

This vacation was incredible! All we hoped and expected and MUCH more! It was hard for me to leave this time, but already today, as we are back in Loma Linda, I realize that God has so much in store for us and has put us here for a divine and amazing reason. One thing Jared and I both agreed on...there is nothing like the Northwest and what makes life so meaningful is the family and friends that God blesses us with to make life so rich. We loved seeing you all and can't wait until the next time we are back!
