I grew up in many places...far away places, not so far away places. At the age of 28, I finally had a say in where to live when Ken finished his ER training and we could decide what part of the country to live in. We knew we wanted to move to Washington to be near family but were pretty open to where. The Tri-Cities kept coming to me. Ken interviewed here, we were offered the job, and we turned it down! Well, the Tri-Cities kept coming to my mind. We ended up calling back and asking for the job and it was ours. I could list a million reasons why the move to this place was a good one. However, the most important one to me is because there were women here that I needed to meet and rub shoulders with.
Moving into our house on Van Dyke was not a coincidence either. I met the gal across the street and my first thought was, "Dang, she's beautiful!" It didn't take me long to realize though that Kristie's beauty on the inside far exceeds her beauty on the outside. I was meant to move here. I was meant to be Kristie's neighbor. I was meant to meet her and be her friend. I needed and continue to need her. She is the part I was missing.
Kris, you are the sister I yearned for as an only girl growing up. I am a better woman, mother, and spouse because of you. I love you with all my heart. Have a happy birthday!
