I love home

I decided to zip (I wish, 10 hour drive) on up to Washington this weekend to visit my family for one day and it was conveniently timed with mother's day. I hadn't been home since Christmas and even though I saw my family during Stephen's graduation it was so rushed I couldn't enjoy it. I'm really glad I decided to come home because it's been rejuvenating! I so needed to get out of Provo.

Reasons why I like Washington:

1. No mountains. While I enjoy the Wasatch Mts. in Utah, I feel a little claustrophobic sometimes. It's more open here which means I get to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

2. Great weather. We have almost 300 sunny days a year.

3. Less people than the greater Provo/Orem area. This means less traffic.

4. My own room.

5. A lawn. I laid on it today just to chill.

6. It's not in the "bubble."

7. It reminds me why I don't want to be at home all summer.

8. Peace and Quiet.

9. Friends.

10. Family.

Totally worth 10 hours in the car. I head back to Utah tomorrow.
