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!!

Ah Provo--I called it home during my college years! The mountains really are amazing. I still miss them!
A lovely town. Did you ever frequent the Provo Bakery? I think it's on East 100 North (or is it maybe North 100 East?). Fantastic baked goods: maple bars, iced muffin tops, honey bran muffins, and more!
I also went to CONE, but didn't like the ice cream very much.
I'm considering coming back next year for the Provo Half-Marathon which is in early May I believe. Or I might go back sooner in the fall and maybe see a football game.
I love my mountains here too
Ooh, I don't know if I ever made it to Provo Bakery, but there was a place I LOVED called Smart Cookie. They made custom ice cream sandwiches where you could pick your cookies and your ice cream flavors to put together. Really delicious.
