Things I Miss

So there are some things I am missing about Utah. I know I know its weird of me to be saying this because I always said when i was there i cant wait to get back home to Cali. I wanted to write them down so i remember them and remember why i liked living in Provo.

 I miss:

- the Green Green hills and trees this time of year

- Being able to go on a great hike and only traveling 5 mins to get there

- The shady trees in Utah

- The ward and the people in our ward (Provo 3rd Ward, North Park Stake

-Sundays seeing all our friends and there kids, especially during sacrament

-Our ward great choir and singer in that ward, every Sunday was like a concert with Brother Bush playing the organ and people singing loud and bright.

- My calling and working with sister Rentz

- The classes at the gym, especially Kara Sworenson's Power Pump class. The classes were full of energy and great workouts. The classes at LA Fitness are just ok with there workout routines and dont have that much energy besides Zumba

- The great testimony meetings. There was a line most week and hardly a break or awkward pause in between testimonies.

- I defiantly miss my girls and bachelor/ bachelorette night. I miss talking with them about the silly girls and boys and who we like and dont like and stay up late talking about girl stuff and babies. I miss there opinions and laugh's.

- My job as a personal trainer up there especially at the weight loss camp. That was a fun easy job working with a variety of different people.

- Denny's and or IHOP runs with our friends along with Waffle dinners at shannon and kyles house.

-Norris and I surprisingly had more time to spend together (just the two of us) up in Utah. Dont get me wrong we are less busy without school but we are always with family and doing different things that we really dont get alone time anymore. We haven’t really gone on a date with just each other in a while. I kinda miss that but then again i am glad we dont just have only each other now. If that all makes sense.

-The awesome bread that i would get from bountiful baskets

-Cheap gas

-My Tucanos friends: Kevin, Fiona, Dustin, Blake, Pat, Amanda, Trevor

-The closeness of the temples there in Utah and how full they always were

-The fast and cheaper restaurants. I always thought Utah sucked when it came to food but they head lots of fast quick places close by to get food. Her in Cali they have great Mexican places and good sit down restaurants but not a lot of places to grab and go besides wendys, in&out, Panda, and Pizza.

-The education and accessibility i had to education. There were always classes and great learning opportunities. If i wanted to take a class and learn her i dont even know where to go.

-Provo always had a even going on in the community. Lots of community/ family events. Here there probably are but i dont know about them.

-My girl friends ( i think i already said that) Shannon, Lindsey, Jessica, Shari, Hannah, Melinda,

- I miss that area because there were so many girls and families i could relate to. Everyone was just having kids or just got married starting there lives. Her everyone is older and the almost empty nester stage of life. Hard to relate to people out her i can only hear of other peoples experiences of when they went through what i am going through.

I dont miss:

-The crazy spiders that would always come out in our apt and only bite me in the summer time.

-The crazy weather there, cold/hot/snowing/thunder storms/unpredictable

-Not having family around/ being only norris and i on Sundays

-The crazy allergies i would get at certain times of the year

-Slow speed limits/ college drivers

-Construction EVERYWHERE

-The pressure of school
