I grabbed the magazine we get from the University of Washington and came across some photos that made me feel like I was just punched in the stomach. It made me miss Seattle so bad, and be so grateful for my time there. It's not just that I want to visit again, though that would be nice (and expensive), but I miss being immersed in this place. The green, the hills, the mountains, the air, the water, the people, the university culture, all of it. It's like a piece of me is missing and I'll probably always feel that way. When we were there, I missed Chicago. How do people move to many different places and not feel like they left a piece of themselves behind?
Spike Mattford took a year and climbed onto the roof of Safeco Tower (UW Tower) and took these photos over a year's time. Gorgeous.

About Me
- Special K
- I'm just an average Chicagoan making her way in the world. I spent 7 years living in Seattle and it profoundly formed who I am. I spent 15 years of my life married to my soulmate, who has made my days full and bright and stood alongside me through thick and thin. I have three wonderful beautiful children who are my greatest creation yet. Logan is my 8-year-old quiet realist who has recently found his voice and has us laughing at all that is pouring out of his head. Sylvie is my 6-year-old Fairy Tale Princess who lives in the clouds and comes down to tell us we are "so funny" and make sure we know she is the center of our universe. My day job is a residential architect. I spent 7 years in college and about 12 years in the working world learning and I feel like I have about another 50 years worth of knowledge to gain on the subject. I was working part-time, though I am on a leave of absence to enjoy this third bundle of joy- Venice. The past years have led me down a crazy path of SAHM to working mom and I'm not quite sure where I'll end up. For now...I think I'll just write about it as it all happens.
