i just wanted to add a little blurb about this incredible blog that i've been constantly stalking for about 2 years and have officially been following since the summer time and i am just so proud of her! i know she doesn't even know who i am but she is so talented!

rachel, it's about time you get this incredible website going! i'm so excited for you and can't congratulate you enough!

Now, as for the contest, i want this trip! and i don't necessarily feel the greatest about just "taking" this trip if i was chosen to win. Not that i wouldn't be forever grateful, but i have been extremely blessed in my life and i know that there are going to be many more people who respond to this that deserve it more than i do, but Rachel, you HAVE inspired me...

(both pictures in this blog are most obviously not mine, definitely Rachel's)

i have never been to Seattle before and i know this will sound lame, but i have been a loyal follower of Grey's Anatomy, and ever since then, i have wanted to live in Seattle. I have been to Vancouver once before and i absolutely loved everything about it! I love the weather, i love the constant cloud cover, and i love the atmosphere of a big city with so much going on. So my goal no matter what, SAVE UP and GO to Seattle! This would be a great trip and a fun experience and you truly have inspired me to just do it! of course, not many of us can just pick up and go on a vacation, me being one of those people, but i am going to start putting together a vacation fund so that when enough pay checks have added up, i can visit this intriguing place...

so when that day comes, i will need some guidance and will need to know where to go and what to see. it may not be for another 6-8 months, but since it's now a goal i know it will happen.

For all that want to participate in this Seattle giveway, make sure to follow this link to Rachel's new blog and get the details...TELL EVERYONE!!! and hopefully, we can make sure that one of us get's to go on this incredible trip...

rachel, if you read this, tell anna that allie petersen has been stalking you and says hi to her on her mission...she'll know who i am and tell her i think she's incredible for going! thanks...
