As trivial as it is to talk weather- we all know it deeply impacts our day to day life. This Winter has been especially cloudy here in Missouri and it has made this a particularly difficult past few months. Usually Missouri winters are cold, but sunny. This winter- no sun. And the sun makes a difference!

When we lived in Seattle after college, I'm convinced I was seasonally depressed in a bad way. I wish we had invested in fake-sun lights and all of that, but I didn't really believe in it at the time. We just struggled on living away from friends and family in a dark and wet climate. Thankfully we had the chance to make a change and ended up here in KC. I know Seattle sounds so much more appealing than Kansas City, Missouri- but it wasn't right for our family. At least not then.

Besides the bugs and the lack of mountains (hubby's main complaint), we love living here. Our community is so family friendly and religious. The area is growing and creative and the perfect place to raise a big family and start a business. Not to mention we have my family here too! We've had so much local support for our business and I'm so thankful for our Liberty and Kansas City community.

Thankfully Spring weather is on it's way- at least for a few days- so we're settling in to enjoy it. Soon we'll be enjoying warm weather, green grass and a real Spring. I can't wait!

I'd love to know where you live and why you love it! Let's hear it in the comments!
