If you know me then you probably know that I hate elevators.
If you don't know me, then I'll sum it up really quick for you. While I was in India I got stuck in a elevator for around 45 minutes. I hated every minute of it. And it produced in me a fear of elevators, flying, and all kinds of other things that are really inconvenient to be afraid of.
Seattle is not a place to be afraid of elevators. Unfortunately most buildings are higher than you want to walk up stairs. And with kids I usually have a stroller, so no stairs for me. I can't even count how many elevators I was in over the time we were in Seattle. And I am proud to say I think I am over my fear of elevators. Hooray for me! I still don't love them, but I no longer have minor panic attacks the whole time I am in them. Yes, it was that bad. Just ask Justin.
5 years later I have overcome my fear. Finally.
Now I just have to work on my fear of flying. Yikes.

I'm proud of you for beating your fear of elevators. WooHoo!! You are right. Those are very inconvienient fears...and yet understandable.
My fear around being in an elevator is usually based on the other passengers. They can be kind of creepy and smelly sometimes. I'm good with the actual elevator riding experience though. And flying? For me flying is the most fun thing I can think of doing. LOVELOVELOVE IT!! I think that the destination has a whole lot to do with the enjoyment for me too.
I have had a couple of crummy experiences during a long day of traveling...but in general I'm ready to board!
Len and I had fun with you and Cohen and Justin in Seattle. We should go out like that again sometime. It's more fun to try new foods when I'm with someone who can help me order.
I guess you could say that I have a fear of 'new foods'. hahaha
Love you~
