Life To my surprise, I am back in the northend, but even farther north, Everett. I remember in highschool I used to think that was way out there in the sticks, now I am eating my words, ha ha ha. My husband and I bought our first house here in North Everett and we have a perfect baby boy to keep us busy and happy. I didn't think I would ever get married & settled down, but here I am, when you find the right person it works. Sean and I married in 2003 and we had Ian April 2005, so he is over a year old now. Before getting married, Sean and I dated for 5 years. We lived together (I know, "in sin") for most of that time in various places around Seattle for a couple of years. Then we moved across the country when my job moved & offered to pay for the relocation, so we found ourselves on the eastcoast in Charlotte, NC for 3 years. We enjoyed our time there very much, loved Savanna, Ga and Charleston, SC. We also visted Sean's Navy buddies in Philly/New Jersey area while we were there. The eastcoast is different then the westcoast to me, I enjoyed it, but it was too uptight & snobby at times...and too much of the "keeping up with the Jones" going on.. so we decided to get hitched and move back to the northwest to start our family. Before that, I partied and danced the night away in Seattle for most...Expand for more
