Utah Here I Come

                                                  
Growing up in California, I had never even been to Utah.  I loved California and everything about it. The weather...the beach...the things to do.  Then I went away to school.  I will always remember driving into Provo for the first time and looking up at those big mountains. They seemed so majestic.  I loved sitting in my apartment south of BYU and listening to the sound of the thunder bounce off the mountains.  It was amazing and beautiful.  I fell in love with Utah that summer.

Now after 5 years of being away, I can't wait to return!  Of course my number one thing I am looking forward to is being close to my family and friends, but now that I am mere weeks away I have started thinking of all of the things that I can't wait to do.  So for fun, I thought I would list them here....in no particular order.
