I haven't been so good about posting these last few weeks as I've been traveling and staying with friends and family and didn't want to miss a minute of seeing all the people I love, so I decided to save all my thoughts for when I finally arrived back at my "final destination". I was gone for almost a month so I have lots to share.

First stop on my trip was Seattle.


Being back in Seattle felt like arriving home after a long trip away. It was so great seeing friends and family again and to reconnect with everyone. Side bonus of being home, I have never eaten so well in my life. My second night back in Seattle the amazing Mama Goetsch made me a top notch Thanksgiving dinner since I wont be there for the holidays this year. Just seeing the photo again makes my mouth water...

I also spent a fair number of evenings enjoying my favorite Mexican food at the Cactus restaurant. Singapore has a lot of great foods but Mexican is not one of them. Thanks Carmen and Sean for eating at the Cactus multiple times in one week just for me!

Although I loved the food, what I loved the most was catching up with all my favorite people.
