Another day in the life of.......: Times are a changing...Does that make sense.

Times are changing for sure. I find myself in a renewed state of being from last year. When these pictures were taken last year after our arrival I couldn't stop obsessing with the mistake (move) I had agreed to. But now as spring has come around the corner I can honestly say moving to Utah was a good move for our family. Does this come with its ups and downs, of course. Do I miss my friends, family and all things Michigan? Hell yeah! But now my longing for all things Michigan ... is different.

I have come to love this crazy state. I finally have learned the unspoken traffic rules that for one, you can run the red light in 3's and not get a ticket, most of the time.
Or that I can spend all day outside and never have a mosquito bite.
That Utah has more parades in the summer then any state I have ever known.

That besides for the greatest snow on earth there are some pretty cool places to hike.
That I can enjoy beautiful scenery on any given day.
The kids love their new school and all the new friends they have made.
That I finally feel like I belong at work and I'm not the odd man out.
That when I go to church these days, well I actually know names and faces and it doesn't feel like a vacation gone bad.
That the phrase "does that make sense" after every explanation doesn't make me want to back hand the person saying it anymore. Or pronouncing mountain, without the T. I guess you can say I have been beatin' into submission.
