I never thought I would be living in Utah ..... I'm a Southern California girl born and raised. When I was a little girl and I would come to visit , I thought "nice place to visit not to live". It seemed like such a small town to me. Still is a little city. But when you meet The MAN, and his job is based out of Salt Lake what do you do. You stay and raise 4 girls. Yup 4 girls!! And you buy a 5 bedroom 3bath house on 3rd of an acre and try to figure out gardening and raise ducks and chickens. Yup... The little beach girl has gone wanna-be country. Who would have thought.
The little town we live in is like a little time-bubble. Neighbors with horses and chickens. Kids riding their bikes together down the street and walking to school together in groups. I didn't know how important that was to me until I had my girls. I always considered myself a city girl. But with the changing world today..... you look for the Norman Rockwell town to raise your kids in. Wanting the idea of safety and space.
As time goes by and as I get older, my views and priorities have changed. Good bye Ralph Lauren..... Hello Walmart. Good bye afternoon lunches with girlfriends .... Hello Mac-n-Cheese. Good bye smooth legs.. Hello Razor every other week. Sorry Mr. Man. Good bye sleeping in ... Hello to little children wanting good morning kisses. Good bye little sports car ... Hello Minivan.
I'm not complaining. It's just different . There are days where you just need to have diarrhea of the mouth and get it off your chest. But would not change a thing ........ except for the Ralph Lauren part. That would be nice to have back
