Howdy From Home!
I seriously had a blast this
weekend in Utah! It’s nothin’ like goin
home for a short while to realize how much you miss the place. As much I as I love Texas and will forever
claim to have grown up there (literally into a teen and then into an adult), I
will from now on until I find another place I love oh-so-much, call Utah home.
Despite the awful weather: no
wind, either clouds with no rain or blue sky with sun but cold; dry air so the
need for lotion increases ten fold; the once it snows, it fails to stay long
enough to build a decent fort, and those things rushed are never truly all they
could be.
Despite the bubble: you can only truly leave when you own a car.
Despite the lack of
uniqueness: so many Mormons and on top
of that, they all seem to be the exact same: marriage, clothing, standards (for
the most part), and everything home made (cute but when everyone has a fabric
backpack, they get old).
I love the family: all of my extended family (minus one family
in Arizona) lives there; they help me by providing love, family dinners, and so
much more that I will never be able to thank them enough.
I love the mountains: sorry Texas.
I still can’t get straight where the heck Dallas is when I’m driving
North on I-30 East. Or whatever the heck
the freeway is called. I will always be
able to know North from South from East from West.
I love who Utah has made me.
And continuing to pile right on
top of all that, my grampie gets married!
Talk about one of the happiest
moments in my life. This wonderful man
deserves no one but the best. And who
does he find? Someone way better than I
could have prayed for for him. MaryAnne
is God’s angel sent to earth if not for a billion other reasons: wonderful
school teacher, wonderful mother, seriously awesome music picker, great styles,
and too much more – she was sent here to marry my grampie and bring out the
best of him. How can I ever thank her
enough??? Any ideas?
I have never seen grampie so happy
in his life. Ever. I love celestial, eternal marriage.

Get married in the Temple.
NO MATTER WHAT.
