My coworker has been having our students write about a place that has a special place in their hearts and I decided to write mine down so here it goes...
Dear Utah,
From being a little kid going ice fishing with my grandpa at Mantua Lake to being an adult and going on random drives through Ogden Canyon, I fell in love with you. I didn't pick this place to live. My parents did almost 35 years ago through what I would say is a beautiful love story and they made this my home.
If people ever ask me what I love most about you, I always say the mountains. Everyday for the past 28 years I leave my house I look at the mountains and I am just in awe of what the seasons do to them. With Spring having the crisp green leaves to Summer and seeing the waterfall on it to Autumn seeing your leaves change again to Winter and seeing the white snow up on Ben Lomond .
Most of my memories are here in this place and they are both happy and sad. This where I crashed my bicycle and skinned my elbows and mom picking me up and holding me and saying it was oka,y to where I said my final goodbye to her.
When I think of her I think of you.
You have given me a lot of emotions over the years. I have found peace, I have found grief and pain, I found acceptance, and I have also found love. Generations of my family have lived here inside this beautiful state that I call home and I can't wait to raise the next-generation here.
There's not another place I would rather live so not only do you have my heart Utah you have my soul.
And with all this said I want say thanks and I can't wait to keep making memories with you in them for the rest of my life.
