utah

when i'm reading blogs,
i really like knowing where people live and what they love about it. 
so...

i
live
in
utah. 

i love getting snow.
i love the mountains. 
i love the people. 
i love that everyone i know here is so motivated and talented.
i love living so close to all of my family members. 
i love the humility of salt lake city. it's not a huge city, but it's got tons of huge-city features.
plus it's clean and nice to explore. 
i love riding trax. 
i love that i can travel 3 hours north and wear a parka and 3 hours south and wear shorts. 
i love having loving neighbors. 
i love being able to walk to church. 
i love having the suburbs so close to the city. 
i love being able to fly to vegas or cali for a hundred dollars. 
i love that the license plates here say "life elevated". cool. 
i love the creative community and the cool restaurants. 

mostly, 
i love the options and possibilities here. 
sure, it's not new york or LA or DC,
but it satisfies the very basic needs i have. 
the city + the natural...
i love planning a saturday night and being able to choose between a hike or adventure in the mountains or a completely black tie event... all within minutes' driving distance of each other. 

i've lived here my entire life
and i'm sure as shootin' that i'm going be here for a long time.

utah, i love you.
