This past weekend, all my wildest dreams and wishes came true when my favorite mom and one of my favorite sisters =) came to visit us in good ol' Rochester, Minnesota. We had fun relaxing, eating, cooking, shopping at the Mall of America, laughing, and being Pratt's (and Wilson's)! I have come to the realization that I belong to a truly special, one of a kind family. I am so proud to belong to it, and they are just my best friends! I was grateful to my sweet dad for letting them come visit me, and for taking care of the littles while they were gone. Although I was sad that I couldn't see the rest of them, I only have to wait a few more months until our next reunion. Jason loves to be around my family as well, and we are so grateful that they were able to come and visit. Although it is sometimes difficult being so far away from my "heart" land (Ferndale, WA), it was fun for them to come and experience life here in the Midwest.
Speaking of Midwest, we have had lots of fun being on our own and "taking a break" from our active social lives, but we are definitely ready to settle down somewhere within the next year and some. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else than Washington, and we have set a goal to finish up school and raise a family there, where our kids will have a beautiful place to run, play, be kids, and grow up. Life here in Minnesota gets rather lonely, and I can't wait to be around my family again. Plus, I just miss everything about Washington: the beach, the trees, the air, the rain (YES, the rain!), the variety, and the people. Much to my dismay, I catch myself saying certain words in a Minnesota accent, and for all those of you who aren't familiar with this interesting language, be glad that you aren't! I miss the carefree-ness and open mindedness of people in Washington, and am getting rather tired of the Midwestern mediocrity. Thank goodness for the west coast is all I have to say.
