I Love Utah

I'm there right now. I'm currently within spitting distance of BYU and in the shadow of the mountain they call Timp (which I was hoping to climb today, but couldn't because of snow on the trail.

I've been thinking through what is that I like about Utah. Perhaps it's because of how kind and earnest the people here seem to be. It is wicked easy to strike up a conversation with just about anybody here.

Or maybe it's the mountains. They are really spectacular. The feelings I have are reminiscent of my first visit to Boulder, Colorado. It was surreal to be shopping at a Target in the shadow of the Rockies. It's the same thing here. Change the store to Kohl's and the mountains to Wasatch.



Are you sitting down? This will come as a shock to a lot of people. I could see myself living here someday. Even with the snow. It is that beautiful and the people are that friendly.

While I don't belong to the LDS church, I can't deny that their members are part of the reason that this state is so freakin' nice. So thanks for that Mormon friends! And I'm praying for you!!
